Of the total complaints, 44 have already been decided, with each respondent receiving corresponding penalties. In a statement Wednesday, Brig. Gen. Romeo Caramat Jr., PRO-13 director, said that of the 44 respondents, 13 have already been suspended, 10 dismissed from the service, three were demoted, 14 were reprimanded, three were meted with forfeitures of their salaries, and one was restricted to specified limits. "A total of 32 personnel complained were also exonerated after due consideration of their cases," Caramat said. He added that of the 81 complaints, five are still pending at the Committee on Disposition of Administrative Cases in PRO-13. "The internal cleansing among our ranks is working, and there are no biases in giving sanctions of police personnel who have committed unethical acts," Caramat said. The undesirable members of the organization, he stressed, must face the consequences of their actions. "They must be held accountable as we are thoroughly investigating all complaints and misbehaviors committed by our policemen," Caramat said. (PNA) }
