PNP IAS receives 674 complaints vs cops

The Philippine National Police Internal Affairs Service (PNP IAS) has received 674 complaints against police officers as of April 22, 2025, a number Inspector General Brigido Dulay believes may indicate increased public confidence in filing such cases.

Dulay suggested that the rise in complaints could be due to the public being more motivated to report violations, contrasting it with the total number of cases filed in 2023 (1,897) and 2024 (2,073).

He emphasized that the 674 complaints represent approximately one percent of the entire PNP workforce, asserting that 99 percent of police officers are dedicated to their duties.

The PNP IAS has not yet released a detailed breakdown of the complaint statuses or the specific nature of the offenses.

Dulay encouraged citizens to file complaints if they have grievances, stating that the IAS can only act on them or initiate motu proprio investigations.
