CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Tarlac province’s new police chief Senior Supt. Ritchie Medardo Posadas has vowed to cleanse the police ranks under him, amid scandals facing the Philippine National Police (PNP) following the alleged involvement of cops in the kidnap-murder case of Korean national in neighboring Angeles City.
In his message to members of the Tarlac police force, Posadas noted he would “prioritize internal cleansing.”
“My first agenda is to see to it that nobody within the ranks is doing things that will mar the uniform of the police,”
Posadas said, as he ordered all police chiefs all over Tarlac to impose discipline in their own stations. Posadas said he plans to have a “heart-to-heart talk with local cops and even do physical exercises and go to church with them” as measure to boost their morale..
“Since Tarlac provincial police used to be number one during the stint of my classmate Senior Supt. Alex Sintin, my goal is to bring the glory of this offi ce once again during my stay,” he said.
