LAOAG CITY— Fifty-nine police
investigators from various police stations in the province who underwent a
45-day Criminal Investigation Course (CIC) will graduate at the Plaza del Norte
and Convention Center on September 9.
Now on its second batch of
graduates, the Ilocos Norte police investigators are expected to enhance their
investigative skills and contribute in the increase of crime solution
efficiency here.
On Sept. 4, another victim
identified as Flor Jose from Vintar, Ilocos Norte was found dead at Barangay
Bingao in San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte. As of press time, police authorities have
yet to identify the motive of the killing.
P/Sr. Supt Antonio Mendoza
Jr., officer-in-charge of the Ilocos Norte Police Provincial Office (INPPO),
said the training is very important to level up investigators’ basic knowledge
and equip themselves on technical procedures in investigation, which is one of
the reasons why some of the criminal cases filed in court are being dismissed
due to technical flaws.
The closing ceremony of Class
02-2014R1 will be attended by Ilocos Norte Governor Ma. Imelda “Imee” R. Marcos
as guest of honor and speaker.
Earlier, Ms. Marcos urged the
police to constantly update themselves on the latest laws, rules and
regulations pertaining to crime investigation.
Based on the latest status of
peace and order in the province, crime clearance now stands at 73 percent.
“We never take peace and
order for granted. Anti-criminality, community intelligence, operations and use
of technology and forensic science all have to be prioritized. If possible, we
should light up all streets in the entire province to discourage criminals,” Ms.
Marcos said.
Through a lifelong training
particularly among police personnel who had no police education degree way back
in college, the PNP hopes the crime solution efficiency will increase further.
