Brig. Gen. Lawrence Coop PRO-10 director, said four police officers are set to be dismissed for illegal drug use, the latest of whom is assigned to Gingoog City, Misamis Oriental.

“We recorded this in 2022, and they will also face administrative charges,” he said during a media forum here, referring to the erring police officers.

Coop said most of the administrative cases in the region are related to the use of illegal drugs following the series of random and unannounced drug testing.

Drug testing will continue for this year, he said, noting that it has always been part of the internal operations of the Philippine National Police (PNP).

“The community wants to see a truly transformed PNP; a police service that is highly capable, effective, and credible; and a police force that can always be counted on at all times,” Coop said.

Police expects surge in applicants due to new height rule

Posted on by cmn

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY (29 May 2021) – The Police Regional Office (PRO) 10 (Northern Mindanao) expects an increase in applicants in the next recruitment process after the passage of a law decreasing the minimum height requirement for police officers, an official said on May 29.

Lt. Col. Michelle Olaivar, PRO-10 spokesperson, issued the statement after President Rodrigo Duterte signed Republic Act (RA) 11549, which amended sections of three separate laws setting the general and standard qualifications for members of the Philippine National Police, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and Bureau of Corrections (BuCor).

“This means that many aspiring police officers would apply. With this, we expect an increase in the number of applicants for the next recruitment processing,” she said.

The newly enacted law sets the minimum height requirement of 5 feet and 2 inches for male applicants, down from 5 feet and 4 inches, and 5 feet for female applicants, down from 5 feet and 2 inches.

Olaivar said a police officer “isn’t measured” by height but “through the service rendered to the people.”

She said the PRO-10 headquarters in Camp Alagar here has begun accepting applicants.

“The processing started last Monday (May 24), and we expect that this batch will take an oath by July and September,” Olaivar said.

She said the current batch comprises 736 total applicants.

Whether the new height requirement would apply to the current batch, Olaivar said this would depend on the instruction from the National Police Commission (Napolcom).

“We will wait for the instruction from Napolcom because it’s still starting. We are still in BMI (Body Mass Index) right now, and that already includes the height,” she said.
