PNP reviewing VIP escort protocols
Acting Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. has reminded police escorts of high-level government officials to perform their duties without inconveniencing motorists.
Nartatez stated that standard operating procedures require escorts to clear routes safely and courteously, without resorting to aggressive actions like pushing or yelling.
He emphasized that courtesy, safety, and discipline are paramount principles for police escorts.
This directive follows a concern raised by Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III regarding the aggressive behavior of some police escorts towards motorists.
The PNP is currently investigating whether formal complaints have been filed concerning these incidents.
Nartatez assured that the PNP takes Sotto's concern seriously and will conduct further assessments and refresher training for escort personnel.
