This is in connection with the shootout involving the PNP anti-illegal drug operatives and PDEA agents that transpired late afternoon of February 24, 2021 outside Ever Gotesco Mall along Commonwealth Avenue, QC.
In the interest of determining the truth behind the incident, a joint PNP-PDEA Board of Inquiry will be formed to determine what transpired and who should be held liable.
PNP Chief, Police General Debold Sinas, appointed the CIDG as the lead investigating body while the RD, NCRPO has been designated to speak on any updates from the PNP in order to keep the public updated with accurate and relevant information.
The PNP and PDEA both agree and assure the public that the incident, while serious, will in no way affect the continuing operational relationship and coordinations they have long firmed up in the fight against illegal drugs.
