INCOMING PNP CHIEF DELA ROSA GIVE ORDERS TO SHOOT-TO-KILL ARMED OFFENDERS

The incoming PNP Chief Supt. Ronald dela Rosa said he would issue shoot-to-kill orders against criminals, especially if a policeman’s life was at risk. “You shoot to kill if the criminal fights back or is armed. Would you want to die? Shoot to kill instead of you ending up killed,” Dela Rosa said.
If a drug lord being arrested won’t fight back, Dela Rosa said: “Make them fight back. You become a drug lord and you won’t fight back? Don’t be a drug lord if you don’t want to fight.” He added: “My advice to (drug lords) while I have yet to start my campaign against them is stock up on bullets and guns and be ready to fight…so this drug menace will end.” Dela Rosa said he will not tolerate a cover-up of policemen’s wrongdoings, and that the PNP has measures to ensure that abusive policemen are sanctioned or, in some cases, dismissed from the service. 

Complaints against errant law enforcers may be forwarded through the Internal Affairs Service, the National Police Commission and the Office of the Ombudsman, he added. While he was ready to act as father of the PNP, Dela Rosa warned that errant policemen have no place in the organization.
