A bill filed by Senator and former Philippine National Police chief Panfilo M. Lacson seeks to level up the professionalism of the police force, especially in the selection of provincial commanders and city and town chiefs of police.

Lacson, who served as PNP chief from 1999 to 2001, said his Senate Bill 971 will encourage local police commanders to concentrate on their job and not be indebted to local executives who invoke their appointive authority.

“While the constitutionality of such appointive jurisdiction is a settled question, nothing prevents the Congress from reviewing the wisdom and logic behind said policy in order to further enhance police professionalism and to isolate the police service from political domination,” Lacson said in his bill.

Mas makatuwiran na panuntunan ang ipapatupad sa pagtatalaga ng mga hepe at commanders ng Philippine National Police (PNP) sa iba’t ibang hurisdiksiyon oras na maisabatas ang panukalang inihain ni Senador Panfilo Lacson.

Sa Senate Bill 971 na iniakda at inihain ni Lacson, ipinaliwanag nitong pangunahin niyang layunin na tuluyan nang ipaubaya sa hanay mismo ng pulisya ang karapatan ang pagtatalaga ng mga opisyal upang hindi na maimpluwensiyahan ng iba pang grupo o indibiduwal na may ibang interes.

“While the constitutionality of such appointive jurisdiction is a settled question, nothing prevents the Congress from reviewing the wisdom and logic behind said policy in order to further enhance police professionalism and to isolate the police service from political domination,” paliwanag ni Lacson na naging epektibong pinuno ng PNP bago pumasok sa lehislatura.
