PNP wants to regain supervision on training of police recruits

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 26): PNP wants to regain supervision on training of police recruits

The Philippine National Police (PNP) will try to get back supervision over the training of police recruits nationwide as inefficiency were noted in the recruitment system that resulted to some neophyte policemen being dragged into drug cases.

In the record of the PNP-International Affairs Service (PNP-IAS), most of those implicated in cases involving illegal drugs have the ranks of Police Officer 1 (PO1) to PO3.

These cases are now being investigated by the PNP-IAS.

Of these cases, 81 have the ranks of PO1, 48 are PO3 and 42 are PO2.

The training of police recruits is currently under the supervision of the National Police Training Institute (NPTI) of the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC).

PNP Training Service Acting Director Chief Supt. John Sosito said they would like to properly educate police recruits on the aspects of skills enhancement, intellectual development and moral transformation.

However, NPTI Director Chief Supt. Jose Erwin Villacorte reasoned out that in the one year training period of police recruits, only six months are devoted to academic course.

The next six months, Villacorte said, will be under the supervision of the PNP Training Service for field training exercise.

In the field training exercise, he added, the police recruits are merged with policemen where they will be exposed in the streets.
