National Police chief General Rodolfo Azurin Jr. and members of the Philippine National Police command group have tendered their “courtesy resignations.”
He said the radical move should give the PNP a fresh start and deal head on the issue once and for all. He recalled that in the past, some officers have also been accused of involvement in illegal drugs, which led them and their careers to suffer despite the absence of evidence.The PNP chief also cited the case of the five police generals whom then President Rodrigo Duterte accused of being involved in illegal drugs.
“This is more of a test of moral issues, character…once and for all, we have to be cleared,” Azurin stressed.Lawmakers on Thursday strongly supported the call for all top-ranked police officers to submit their courtesy resignations as part of the government campaign to cleanse PNP ranks of the “deep infection” of the illegal drugs trade.
Barbers said although there is still no concrete evidence that directly links senior police officers to the drugs trade, it is widely rumored or said to be an “open secret” about the involvement in drugs of certain law enforcement officers in the active service.
