ILOILO City – A cleanliness maintenance inspection of police stations in Iloilo City and Metro Iloilo was conducted by the Police Regional Office 6 (PRO-6) on Friday, May 21.
The PRO-6’s Regional Red Team inspected six police stations in Iloilo City Police office (ICPO) and the Pavia police station.
According to PRO-6 Spokesperson, Police Lieutenant Colonel Joem Malong, the inspection was in compliance with Philippine National Police (PNP) General Guillermo Eleazar’s main thrust on the “Intensified Cleanliness Policy” (ICP) he recently launched.
The ICP is anchored on the “broken windows policy” which states that small problems must be immediately addressed to prevent them from getting worse.
Eleazar added that the policy produced “effective and spectacular” results when it first launched in his term as director of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO).
“Dito po ako magpapatupad ng intensified cleanliness policy or ICP ng PNP,” said Eleazar.
Another main objective of the ICP is reformation in the recruitment system to protect the PNP from erring cops and break the culture of wrongdoings among the ranks.
Eleazar said this involves the introduction of a QR (quick response) code in the recruitment process to ensure those entering the service are picked based solely on their qualifications.
Meanwhile, Malong said that the PRO-6’s Red Team will continue to conduct inspections in all police stations in the region.
“We need to maintain the cleanliness of every police station so that it is pleasant to the public who going to the police station and maintain politeness,” Malong added./PN
