IMMERSION: Last Day

Image
For the first day of this week, we already noticed the 1st Quarter PIAS Rank Inspection. It is to inspect or check their offices, guns, handcuffs, handcuff key, I.D ballpen, and tickler.             In this week, the group interchanged and went to another department. This time, I was assigned to the Police- Community Relations (PCR), where they are focused on giving services, supports, and building a mutual relationship between police agencies and community. But before we lived the Admin Office, they gave us another orientation but for this time it is a bit deeper because we are learning and understanding the organizational structure of Philippine National Police, Republic Act 8551, monthly salary, ranks and insignia, types of uniform: GOA type A, GOA type B, GOA type C, Athletic Uniform, and Combat Uniform.             Like we did in the Admin Office, we did minor works such as arranging letters, memorandums, etc, in a chronological order. PCI. Gerardo S. Locaylocay taught us

IMMERSION: First Day

  The Philippine National Police’s mission is to enforce the law, to prevent and control crimes, to maintain peace and order, and to ensure public safety and internal security with the active support of the community.     Knowing this statement makes me think that police officers/ law enforcement are somewhat strict, firm, and serious. Unexpectedly, I was surprised that they were not the same law enforcers as I have known or heard of them before. The warmed welcome they gave proved me wrong, they are reformed to be approachable and respectful towards the community.     The first day of immersion went well as PCI. Philippe M. Armigos conducted a short orientation of the police duties and directories. Also, since its Thursday they let us out for the home to change our school uniform into sports attire because every Tuesday and Thursday is an athletic day. They let us participate in their sports activity like basketball, badminton, lawn tennis, etc; as a trainee, we are obliged to co
