PNP spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo says approximately 2,098 administrative cases have been filed against their officers and non-uniformed personnel from July 1, 2016, to November 16 this year over operations related to the controversial “drug war.”
She said these figures were drawn from the PNP’s automatic review of police anti-drug operations, including those that resulted in deaths.
“The PNP is periodically conducting review, evaluation and assessment with respect to the manner of execution – to harmonize if there are some police strategies that need to be improved, so that we can improve the manner in which we conduct our operations,” Fajardo pointed out. The PNP spokesperson’s remark came after a court convicted Caloocan police officers Jefrey Perez and Ricky Arquilita, who had been charged with murder, torture, and planting of evidence in the 2017 deaths of Carl Arnaiz, 19, and Reynaldo “Kulot” de Guzman, 14.The Caloocan City court’s ruling is the second criminal conviction of police officers involved in former President Rodrigo Duterte’s brutal war on drugs.
