In an apparent bid to curb increasing police abuses since 2017, the Philippine National Police announced plans to disband 17 special operations units of its controversial Drug Enforcement Group created six years ago. | dexcabalzaINQ /PDI
PNP chief Maj. Gen. Benjamin Acorda Jr. earlier said they were still studying details, but the hierarchy was inclined to implement case operational plans, or “coplan,” which will require definite targets and specific activities between the DEG and the concerned drug enforcement unit in the region.
The DEG will naturally have to comply with the new system, but Col. Marlou Martinez, the DEG’s deputy director for administration, said rules would “ensure the integrity and credibility.” If the plan pushes through, the PNP’s antidrug unit, created in 2017, would again be revamped in just six years with measures similar to the ones implemented to clean the police ranks six years ago.
In January 2017, then President Rodrigo Duterte dissolved the PNP’s antinarcotics unit, the Anti-Illegal Drugs Group , as part of his antidrug war. By June, the National Police Commission reorganized the AIDG and renamed it DEG, revamping its special operations and drug enforcement units across the country.Subscribe to our daily newsletter
