They have been transferred to the Holding Admin Unit of the Cebu City Police Office while undergoing a pre-charge investigation, Police Col. Ireneo Dalogdog, chief of CCPO, told reporters on Thursday. Police Major Nolan Tagsip, chief of the Abellana police, confirmed that the two police officers were on-duty at the time they were caught allegedly sleeping.As mobile patrol personnel, the two policemen were tasked to conduct roving crime-prone areas, Tagsip added.
Dalogdog warned station chiefs to always monitor their personnel as a repeat of similar incidents will also put them in trouble. “If this incident like this happens again, the chief supervisor and immediate superior will also be held responsible for failure to supervise and monitor their personnel under the doctrine of command responsibility,” Dalogdog said.“We will recommend immediate relief so that this kind of incident will serve as a lesson to other police officers,” said Dalogodog.
