MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police has implemented new guidelines for the entry of PNP personnel and civilians at Camp Crame.
In an order from the Headquarters Support Service obtained by The STAR, soiled vehicles of police personnel need to be washed first before being allowed entry into the PNP headquarters.
The rule also applies to civilians who need to transact business or acquire documents and permits with the PNP offices.
A police official, who asked not to be named, said they opposed the new policy, which started on Friday.
“What if you came from an operation? You will need to report back to Crame. Will you still think of getting a car wash?” the official said in a phone interview.
Other guidelines include the posting of PNP personnel around the headquarters to accost or issue citation tickets to overspeeding vehicles, issue violation receipts to those not following COVID-19 protocols and bar the entry of motorcycles without stickers or decals.
The PNP also ordered office personnel to help take pictures of latecomers during the Monday flag-raising rites.
PNP chief Gen. Guillermo Eleazar has launched an intensified cleanliness program to make sure that police stations, precincts and offices are clean.
