Four PNP units tapped to support ICI flood control probe
Four Philippine National Police (PNP) units have been assigned to assist the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) in its investigation into alleged irregularities in government flood control and infrastructure projects.
The PNP units involved are the Engineering Service, Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), Forensic Group, and Information Technology and Management Service (ITMS).
These specialized units will provide technical and investigative support, including engineering verification, forensic validation, and information systems development.
PNP geodetic engineers will specifically help validate project coordinates to confirm the existence of identified locations.
The PNP's participation is strictly limited to technical verification and forensic validation, excluding policy or procurement aspects.
The ICI, established by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., is examining reports of 'ghost' projects and questionable fund allocations nationwide.
