Some 18 police chiefs in the Aklan Police Provincial Police (APPO), including support units, submitted themselves to drug tests conducted by the Philippine National Police (PNP) Crime Laboratory.
The 800-strong local policemen drug examination revealed negative results, said Senior Supt. Benigno B. Durana, Jr., Aklan provincial police director.
"The law does not and will not condone any wrongdoing committed by our policemen. If they tend to tarnish the image of the PNP they are mandated to serve, especially, if they are involved in the use of illegal drugs, they could be dismissed from the service," Durana said in a statement during the regular weekly press conference with the Aklan Police and Defense Press Corps (APDPC) last week.
"The APPO is a drug free zone. The drug-testing for members of the police force is our share in the government’s anti-drug abuse campaign," he stressed.
Any policeman whose drug test is positive for use of prohibited drugs will be administratively charged which is tantamount to dismissal from the police service and charged criminally under the Comprehensive Dangerous Drug Act of 2002," Durana pointed out. /MP
