BACOLOD City – Neophyte police officers in Negros Island Region were warned against getting into any illegal activity, especially illegal drugs.
Three hundred new recruits (Police Officers 1) — 255 males and 45 females — took their oath yesterday at the Police Regional Office 18 (PRO-18) headquarters in Camp Alfredo Montelibano Sr. in Barangay Estefania.
Chief Superintendent Renato Gumban, PRO-18 director, told them to do their part in the government’s antidrug campaign.
“If a [Police Officer 1] gets involved in illegal drugs, the investigator will always ask who recruited them, where they trained, what their background is, why they were allowed in [the organization] with their bad behavior,” Gumban stressed.
Police scalawags get reassigned in conflict-ridden southern provinces like Lanao del Sur, Basilan and Sulu while facing administrative charges, he said.
Good officers, on the other hand, enjoy benefits like free medical care and housing and rewarding salaries, said Gumban.
“Immediate families of police officers and members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines get a 100-percent free hospitalization,” he stressed. “If you are sick … you will also enjoy free medication.”
After basic field training for four months up to a year, the new recruits will be assigned for a five-year duty in the Regional Public Safety Battalion./PN
