QCPD chief to cops: Don’t engage in partisan politics
THE chief of the Quezon City Police District on Thursday warned police personnel not to engage in partisan politics as the campaign period for the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) started.
QCPD director Brig. Gen. Redrico Maranan reminded police officers under his command the importance of maintaining professionalism, impartiality and integrity at all times.
“I wish to convey a stern warning to all QCPD Station Commanders: Partisan acts have no place in our mission,’ he said in a statement.
Maranan said engaging in any form of partisan behavior is prohibited and that any evidence that would point to such acts will result in sanctions on erring police officers.
“If there is any credible evidence indicating your involvement in such activities, QCPD will ensure that appropriate charges will be instituted without delay.” he said,
Maranan said partisan behavior not only undermines the trust of the public i law enforcement institutions but also contradicts the very essence of justice the Philippine National Police (PNP) stands for.
Maranan also reminded candidates in the BSKE to followed the rules and regulations set by the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
