Three of 10 violators of PNP program are cops: Sinas

February 4, 2020

The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) on Tuesday said three out of 10 violators found in the second round of Oplan Viserion were still cops.

In a press briefing, Police Major General Debold Sinas said for the second round of inspection, 1, 061 vehicles were checked and unlike the first one, only 10 vehicles were found with violations.

“Almost all cleared... and only 10 have violations. Out of the 10, three were cops,” said the acting NCRPO chief.

Sinas said these three cops will be included in the 93 cops who were earlier found with violations last January 21.

“We will also file an administrative case against them,” he said.

Sinas said violations decreased compared to the 198 last inspection.

“This will be continuous and no let up. Once we initiate lockdown, it’s really lockdown. We are happy that the number decreased,” Sinas said.

Oplan Viserion is NCRPO’s Internal Cleansing Program in verifying alleged Illegal use of recovered and carnapped vehicles and motorcycles by police personnel.

All PNP personnel, including civilian drivers and owners with violation, were issued with Temporary Operator’s Permit (TOP) by Highway Patrol Group personnel. Ella Dionisio/DMS
