Dumaguete City (2 December 2005) -- The Philippine National Police (PNP) in the province of Siquijor is undergoing a seminar lecture on Arrest, Search and Seizure.
Conducted by the Provincial Prosecution Office, the seminar is held by
batch at the Caipilan PNP Provincial Headquarters for a series of weeks.
Assistant Provincial Prosecutor Atty. Ulysses Andora said there is a need to update our policemen in these critical aspects of the police
work. He said they should be all the time familiarized with the properly detailed procedures of arrest, search and seizure and the appropriate way to execute their power in the handling of crimes.
"Most often, technicality is a problem that plagues in the police force. This is the main reason why some police's evidences are inadmissible in the court or why court
dockets get clogged with manufactured cases," Andora said.
"A person who is in fact guilty of crime may get a lighter sentence or even an acquittal if he proves that his arrest was illegal or taken by force," he added.
Andora attributed this problem to the policemen's insufficient knowledge on the procedures that tend them to take short cuts to justice to combat crimes and criminals. Combining the efforts of the police and the lawmakers as pillars of justice, he said, will significantly reduce and eventually prevent criminals from proliferating .
