NCRPO 3rd Level Officers, negatibo sa drug test
Bilang bahagi sa apela ni Department of the Interior and Local Government, Secretary Atty. Benjamin “Benhur” Abalos Jr., pinangunahan ni National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO), Major General Jonnel C. Estomo ang paglagda sa courtesy resignation at sumailalim sa isang sorpresang drug examination kasama ang third level commissioned officers ng NCRPO sa Camp Bagong Diwa, Bicutan Taguig City.
Kasama sa 3rd level officers ang mga full-fledged colonels at lahat ng star ranks sa PNP.
Nag-negatibo sa resulta sa screening test ang lahat ng 72 urine samples na nakuha sa surprise drug test. Ito ay nakumpirma sa report na isinumite ng PNP Crime Laboratory Field Office na nakabase sa Camp Bagong Diwa nitong Sabado sa Regional Director.
“From the beginning, I am with the PNP leadership in cleansing our ranks of the drug protectors and scalawags. As I formerly said that should there be anyone found to be positive of illegal drugs, he is automatically deemed resigned from the service immediately. Fortunately, none of the officers with me yielded positive results of the test. This is a positive starting indicator to this noble purpose of our SILG and our chief PNP in purging the organization,” sabi nito.
Binalaan ni RD Estomo ang ibang pulis na magpapatuloy ang surprise random testing sa ilalim ng kanyang liderato upang maalis ang mga Metro cops na gumagamit ng ilegal na droga.
“It is important to emphasize that those who tendered courtesy resignation are not drug users. This would reinforce the 5-man assessment committee on their evlauation to be carried out. On the other hand, this may serve as a stern warning to all policemen in the region. No one can run or hide with the continuing conduct of random drug testing,” pahayag pa ni MGen Estomo.
