Napolcom backs PNP chief's 3-min response, 8-hr shift proposals

The National Police Commission (Napolcom) supports Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III's proposals to implement a three-minute response time for police and to institutionalize eight-hour work shifts.

Napolcom Vice Chairperson and Executive Officer Rafael Calinisan believes that limiting excessive work hours will make police officers more effective.

General Torre previously implemented the three-minute response directive when he was the Quezon City Police District director in 2022.

The proposed eight-hour shift aims to give officers more time with their families, but Torre emphasized that officers must remain productive and not waste time.

The PNP chief stressed that officers must not be caught 'sitting around or staring at their phones' during their shifts.
