On the eve of his retirement, Police General Camilo Pancratius P Cascolan, urged the men and women of the Philippine National Police to rally behind the leadership of Police Major General Debold M Sinas who will take command of the 218,000-strong national police force as the 25th Chief PNP.
“General Sinas needs all the support and strong commitment of the PNP Officer Corps and rank-and-file for him to effectively discharge his duties and functions as Chief PNP, Cascolan said.
“In a dynamic organization like the PNP, only the players are changed, but the strategic vision remains constant and endures until the endgame in year 2030 when we shall have completed our journey to complete organizational development and service excellence,” Cascolan said.
He said, General Sinas brings with him a sterling track record in administrative management with vast experience in police operations, and a well-rounded career pattern in all his command, staff and training assignments in Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao and Metro Manila.
Cascolan expressed confidence on Sinas’ command management of the PNP to sustain the momentum of the 4-pronged national campaign against crime, illegal drugs, terrorism and corruption.
In a press briefing in Camp Crame, Cascolan said the national crime situation has significantly improved over the years thru citizen participation and public support. This was validated just recently by the prestigious American analytics firm Gallup in its 2020 Global Law and Order survey that ranked the Philippines as among the Top 40 safest countries in the world, in the same league as Australia, New Zealand, Poland, and Serbia where citizens feel safe and have confidence with the local police.
