PNP investigates Taguig cops for warrantless entry

National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) chief Brig. Gen. Anthony Aberin ordered an investigation into Taguig City police chief Col. Joey Goforth regarding his officers' entry into a home without a search warrant on February 5.

Philippine National Police Chief General Rommel Francisco Marbil emphasized that the PNP will not condone any misconduct and has directed a thorough, impartial investigation of ten cops involved in the controversial warrantless search operation.

Aberin had earlier relieved these officers to ensure an unbiased probe into their actions and potential violations of police operational procedures and citizens' rights.

The NCRPO is investigating Goforth for command responsibility as well as examining allegations that include robbery, grave coercion, physical injury, obstruction of justice, malicious mischief, unlawful arrest, violations of domicile, and special protection against child abuse.

Marbil assured the public that a comprehensive investigation is ongoing to establish accountability and reinforce trust in law enforcement while emphasizing adherence to operational procedures and ethical standards.
