MANILA – Philippine police chief Alan Purisima on Thursday unveiled markers of training facilities for members of the elite Special Action Force in Santa Rosa City in Laguna province, officials said.
Officials said Purisima was accompanied by SAF Police Director Getulio Napeñas and other senior officials in the event. The new facilities included a mess hall, planning and classrooms, among others.
“This holds great promise for the police students who are undergoing training and those who will attend future courses under the auspices of this school because they will stand to benefit from the improvements made in this infrastructure,” Purisima said.
He said the SAF facilities will also play an important role in the achievement of one of the key objectives of the Philippine National Police P.A.T.R.O.L. Plan 2030 and strategic initiative embodied in CODE-P, which is to develop highly competent, motivated and values-oriented and disciplined personnel.
PNP P.A.T.R.O.L. Plan 2030 stands for Peace and order Agenda for Transformation and upholding of the Rule-of-Law as enhanced by Purisima’s “CODE-P: 2013 and beyond.”
CODE-P: 2013 and beyond is a program which stands for Competence, Organizational Development, Discipline, Excellence and Professionalism.
The SAF Training Branch has been making huge strides in its bid to become one of the premiere training institutions in the country, and in line with the PNP’s modernization program, strengthening of its personnel capabilities through the conduct of training courses with good training facilities is one of the priorities of the organization.
Purisima commended the past and present leadership of SAF for initiating reforms and bringing the institution in a class of its own within the PNP. (Mindanao Examiner)
