PNP to enforce ‘one-strike policy’ over indiscriminate firing incidents
Philippine National Police (PNP) commanders are now given only 36 hours to resolve indiscriminate firing incidents involving police officers, with failure to do so resulting in relief and charges.
The directive, issued by acting chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr., aims to curb illegal gun discharges, especially during the holiday season.
According to PNP public information chief Brig. Gen. Randulf Tuaño, the one-strike policy will be strictly enforced for commanders in areas where indiscriminate firing occurs and results in victims.
Last year's holiday season saw at least 27 cases of illegal gun discharges by January 1, 2025, highlighting the need for stricter measures.
The PNP is actively cautioning its personnel against the use of service firearms during Christmas and New Year celebrations.
