National Police Chief Jesus Verzosa has ordered a Mandaluyong City policeman to take a refresher training course for tucking a gun in his waist.
He said PO3 Ireneo Lachica was photographed at a crime scene in general office attire without the regulation holster and pistol belt for his service firearm.
“PO3 Lachica showed glaring disrespect to the police symbol of authority by the manner he wore his own uniform and for carrying a gun tucked under the waistband which is not only against regulations, but also a very unsafe way to carry a gun,” Verzosa said.
He ordered unit chiefs to hold regular field inspections and lectures on the Letter of Instruction “Tamang Bihis (proper attire),” prescribing the dress code.
Under regulations, violators face reprimand and administrative sanctions.
The refresher course includes gun safety and proficiency at the training service unit. Read this original post at http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/insideMetro.htm?f=2009/september/14/metro2.isx&d=2009/september/14
