PNP warns civilians in military uniforms
Published: December 17, 2006 by The Bohol Standard

Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Oscar Calderon ordered all police units to arrest civilians wearing military uniforms as part of the campaign against street criminals that wear uniforms of government agents when they commit crimes.

“The police uniform is a symbol of authority that must be used properly, and kept clean and presentable at all times,” Calderon, who earlier launched Task Group Motorcycle

Anti-Street Crimes Operatives (TG-MASCO).

Calderon issued this directive in the wake of recent reports of crime incidents, mostly in robbery cases, involving suspects clad in military and police uniforms.

The PNP chief reminded all police personnel to strictly observe PNP regulations on the proper wearing of police uniform. The police uniform per se should be respected.

Under the law, Calderon said offenders will be prosecuted for violation of Articles 177 (Usurpation of Authority or Official Functions and 179 (Illegal Use of Uniforms or Insignia) of the Revised Penal Code that imposes imprisonment terms to violators.

“The law also prohibits the illegal use of police and military insignia, logos, headgear and badges by unauthorized persons,” Calderon added.

The order includes prohibition on the use of manufactured shirts, jackets and other garments with “POLICE” or “PNP” markings by unauthorized civilians.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
