MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police said on Tuesday that it respects the decision of the Quezon City People’s Law Enforcement Board to dismiss the city Police District Crime Investigation and Detection Unit’s former head and suspend three other officers over a hit-and-run incident that killed a tricycle driver last year.
“We support the ongoing proceedings in relation to this case and will respect whatever decision the appropriate disciplinary body will come up [with] until it reaches finality while also affording due process to those involved,” said PNP chief Gen. Rodolfo Azurin Jr. in a statement.Azurin emphasized that the PNP will “never tolerate any misdoings among its ranks if committed blatantly in disregard of the law” as it actively implements internal cleansing programs within the police force.
He added that the PNP will protect the organization’s integrity “by being circumspect in all their actions, within or even outside the bounds of its official duty.”
