Incoming PNP Chief Police Director Oscar Albayalde answers questions from the media
MANILA, Philippines — Police Director Oscar Albayalde maintained that he will not create new policies once he takes over as chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
The incoming chief said he will continue to implement existing rules and regulations within the organization.
“The policies are all there. Iyong rules and regulations namin (Our rules and regulations) are all there, complete. Nasa manual at blue book namin iyan (It’s all there in our manual and blue book). Wala akong ginawang bagong policy o (I have not made any new policy or) rules and regulations. We just implement them,” said Albayalde.
He vowed to intensify and standardize police training programs such as that of the Special Action Force (SAF) to keep the cops away from any form of illegal activities.
“I stayed there for five years sa (with) SAF. Nakita ko na iba naman talaga ang pag uugali, iyong training, iyong skills, iyong discipline ng mga pulis na naka assign sa SAF (I have seen the difference in attitude, training, skills and discipline of police assigned to SAF),” said the incoming chief.
The official also stressed that the internal cleansing within the organization will continue as well as the strict implementation of internal discipline among policemen as ordered by President Rodrigo Duterte.
He also plans to intensify the government’s war on drugs especially that 96 cops are included in the NCRPO’s counter intelligence watch list.
From the said number, 77 are suspected to be involved in illegal drug activities.
“Napaka importante yung continuity na sinasabi, yung ginagawa na ng pamahalaan ng ating Philippine National Police. Yung kampanya natin sa ilegal na droga, yung Double Barrel natin at Oplan Tokhang, all these will continue,” said Albayalde.
