The Laguna Police Provincial Office (LPPO) has made a major achievement in the government's relentless campaign against illegal drugs, according to the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB).
The LPPO was one of the four provincial offices in Calabarzon hailed as "drug-free workplaces" by the DDB, during a ceremony held Wednesday, November 6, at the Camp Vicente Lim in Calamba City.
The ceremony featured the ceremonial unveiling of the Drug-Free Workplace marker, highlighting the accomplishments of the four provincial police offices and the battalion in promoting a drug-free environment within their ranks.
Aside from the provincial police offices of Laguna, Cavite, Batangas and Rizal, the Regional Mobile Force Battalion 4A (Calabarzon) was also hailed as "drug-free workplaces."
DDB Undersecretary Earl Saavedra praised the efforts of the Calabarzon police, underscoring its role as a model for other police offices nationwide.
“The Calabarzon region is a true model. Your programs and advocacy set the standard for best practices. Not only is this Police Regional Office (PRO) a model, but it is also an effective, fully functional, and cutting-edge initiative that we can all take pride in,” the DDB head said in his speech.
The achievement was the result of the successful implementation of the Philippine National Police’s (PNP) internal cleansing program, as outlined in Command Memorandum Circular 2023-03.
This program ensures that no PNP member is involved in illegal drug activities, and includes comprehensive phases such as drug awareness, prevention, testing, treatment, and rehabilitation.
