PNP going high-tech vs crimes
The Philippine National Police (PNP) is set to enhance its investigative capabilities through the integration of advanced technology, including forensic science, drone patrols, and body-worn cameras.
The PNP aims to equip all police officers with body cameras once the national 911 hotline is fully operational, building on their current inventory of 2,700 devices, with 684 capable of livestreaming.
Additionally, the police force utilizes approximately 965 drones, mobile rapid CCTV units, and dashcams for patrol operations.
PNP Chief Benjamin Torre is prioritizing the acquisition of more sophisticated forensic tools to improve investigations, with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) having already donated some forensic equipment.
The PNP will collaborate with the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) to ensure all police operations adhere to human rights standards, addressing past perceptions of discord between the two institutions.
