Lawyer Vitaliano Aguirre, vice chairman and executive officer of the NAPOLCOM, said the 18 policemen were also demoted, 10 were suspended and three were reprimanded for various violations of administrative regulations of the PNP.
He said those penalized were part of the 177 summary dismissal cases.
