Sinas: “On the first day, all participants should undergo the random drug test”
Newly appointed Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Police General Debold Sinas wants to implement random drug testing among the police trainees.
“On the first day, all participants should undergo the random drug test. Ang gagawin niyo diyan, alam niyo ‘yung style, first day ipon, ipunin then i-drug test…” he said during the 15th founding anniversary of the PNP Training Service.
“So effectively immediately, pag mag-open tayo ng calls on the first day, maski ano pa ‘yang opening mo, after that, cordon the area then have the drug test…” the new PNP chief added.
According to Sinas, police trainees should always bear in mind that illegal drugs have no place in the police organization.
“I’m hoping sa training niyo, sabihin niyo bawal na bawal ang droga. Bawal ang gumamit ng droga, bawal ang magprotect ng droga, bawal tumanggap ng suhol galing sa mga drug lords,” he said.
While serving as the chief of the National Capital Region Police Office, he has been known for implementing random drug testing among police officers in Metro Manila.
Drug testing was simultaneously conducted during his inspections of police stations in the region.
In his term as the newly appointed PNP chief, he has vowed to get rid of police involvement in narcotics or narco cops.
