Secretary Puno of the Department of Interior and Local Government will release another infomercial, and this time the focus of the infomercial is on the need to beef up the police force in the country. The newest infomercial that follows the ‘WCPD Desk’ is called ‘Kuya’. At the core of the new infomercial is the move of the Department of Interior and Local Government to add around 3000 police officers every year so as to ensure the welfare and the security of the public. This specific project of the department can be expected since this is at the core of the main services of the department.
The office is known for its three main concerns and these are local governance, peace and order and public safety. This specific project of the office is actually part of the grand plan of the government to modernize the national police. It was announced last week that the Philippine National Police will add 7000 new policemen that will help boost its operational capability. According to published reports, this number will be added to the fold this year and currently the applications are on-going. Director General Jesus Versoza is calling on interested applicants to submit their applications since the recruitment for the second semester is now open. Interested and qualified applicants are asked to submit their applications to the nearest police station.
The department is not only in need of 7000 officers. Director General Versoza said that this number is on top of the 10000 police officers that they need by next year as part of the orders of the President. The president is pushing for a well-staffed police force, and the recruitment of new officials is in line with the plan of the government to meet the ideal ration of police and the number of citizens. The government said that the ideal ratio is one policeman for every 500 persons. The modernization plan in the Philippine National Police in on-going, and projects related to the modernization plan is currently undertaken. And the latest plan is to add 15000 officers in the next 5 years. The spokesperson for the PNP clarified the common thinking that only criminology graduates can pass applications. Senior Supt Leonard Espina said that they also accept graduates of other courses provided that they can submit the proper credentials.
