The Philippine National Police (PNP) posted a 78 percent case resolution efficiency in administrative cases involving its personnel from 26 August 2025 to 29 July 2026, saying it continues to strengthen its internal accountability mechanisms.
PNP chief Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. said the figure reflected the organization’s efforts to enforce discipline while observing due process.
Records showed that administrative sanctions during the period included dismissal from the service for 1,337 personnel, suspension of 2,276, demotion of 235, reprimand of 672, forfeiture of salary affecting 100, restriction of 41, and withholding of privileges for 100 personnel.
Meanwhile, 3,524 personnel were cleared after their cases were dismissed.
Nartatez said every administrative complaint is evaluated based on evidence and established procedures. Appropriate sanctions are imposed when violations are substantiated, while personnel found not liable are exonerated.
The PNP also said two active police personnel arrested in Caloocan City over the alleged illegal sale of firearms would undergo both criminal and administrative proceedings.
Nartatez said accountability applies to every member of the police service in accordance with the rule of law.
He said maintaining public trust requires consistency in enforcing accountability within the organization.
“We cannot ask for the public’s trust if we cannot hold our own ranks accountable. Every complaint must be acted upon swiftly, fairly and in accordance with the law,” he said.
“Likewise, if a personnel member is found not liable, that person should also be clearly exonerated through the proper process,” Nartatez added.
Nartatez said the PNP remained committed to improving its internal disciplinary mechanisms and ensuring that complaints are acted upon promptly, objectively and in accordance with the law.
