Police officers told to ‘clean up act or leave’

The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) advised police officers to “clean up their act” or leave the force.
DILG OIC-Secretary Eduardo M. Año said in a statement on Monday “Clean up your act or leave. No one will be spared. Police officers who will be found culpable of any criminal involvement shall be removed from the service.”
Since 2016, more than 6000 police officers were either demoted, suspended or dismissed from service.
DILG also reported that as of this year, the base salary of a Police/Fire/Jail Officer 1 “was increased from P14,834.00 to P29,668.00 with a hazard pay of P540.00.” — Gillian M. Cortez
