The Philippine National Police (PNP) has sanctioned 1,501 personnel in the first half of 2026 as part of its continuing internal cleanup and accountability campaign.
Based on official PNP data, the sanctions were imposed from January 1 to June 3 and covered personnel found to have violated administrative rules.
The penalties included 436 dismissals from service, 77 demotions, 692 suspensions, 31 salary forfeitures, 225 reprimands, six restrictions, and 34 cases involving the withholding of privileges.
The PNP said the figures reflect its sustained effort to strengthen discipline, professionalism, and accountability across the organization.
Records also showed that from August 26, 2025 to June 3, 2026, the PNP resolved 655 administrative cases involving 1,041 personnel.
Of the total, 512 cases resulted in penalties against 699 personnel, while 143 cases led to the dismissal of complaints or the exoneration of 342 personnel after evaluation and due process.
PNP chief Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. said the latest figures show the police organization’s commitment to ensuring that administrative cases, whether newly filed or inherited from previous years, are properly acted upon and resolved.
He said the PNP is also working to clear remaining case backlogs, improve case monitoring systems, and ensure that pending administrative matters are not left unattended.
“Ang mahalaga po dito ay ang tiwala ng publiko. We make sure that every case is acted upon properly and fairly. Walang kinikilingan, walang palalampasin kung may pagkukulang,” Nartatez said.
“Sisiguraduhin po natin na tuloy-tuloy ang pagresolba ng mga kaso,” he added.
The PNP said the disciplinary actions form part of its Focused Agenda, particularly under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, which seeks to strengthen internal control systems, improve oversight, and ensure the timely and impartial resolution of administrative cases.
The police organization said the effort is also aligned with the broader government policy of promoting accountable public institutions.
While disciplinary measures are being strictly enforced, the PNP said it continues to observe due process and fairness in all proceedings to protect both accountability and the rights of personnel.
The PNP said it remains committed to building a more disciplined, responsive, and trustworthy police force under its “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman” campaign.
