CALOOCAN CITY, (PIA) -- The Philippine National Police (PNP) said all its anti-illegal drug campaigns strongly complie with all judicial standards.

"While the PNP respects the pronouncements made by other agencies or group regarding the illegal drug cases involving police personnel, this organization has maintained its position to adhere to the judicial system," PNP Public Information Office (PIO) chief Brig. Gen. Roderick Augustus Alba said in a statement Saturday.

He added that the PNP has always shown a willingness to cooperate in any proceeding by providing the necessary documents as properly requested by the courts or other investigating bodies.

"Internally, we also conduct our investigation whenever a police personnel is reported to have violated the law and/or code of conduct," Alba said.

For administrative cases, he said erring police officers are meted with penalties from suspension to dismissal from service.

"Rest assured that the PNP will take necessary actions by filing administrative and criminal cases against those personnel allegedly involved in illegal drugs," Alba said. (PIA-NCR)
