Cop caught sleeping

- (Aaron Recuenco)

A rookie policeman is now in deep trouble after he was caught sleeping inside a Police Community Precinct in Valenzuela City despite repeated warnings of serious consequenc­es.

No less than Chief Supt. Guillermo Eleazar, director of the National Capital Region Police Office NCRPO), caught the rookie cop identified as Police Officer 1 Gary Garcia.

Garcia was caught napping during the surprise inspection of Eleazar at the Marulas Police Community Precinct.

“He will be subjected to precharge evaluation,” said Eleazar.

The NCRPO leadership has been warning sleepyhead cops not to do it while on duty since photos and videos of sleeping cops have been repeatedly circulated in the social media in the past.

As a result, policemen and the entire police force became the subject of intense criticisms and funny memes.

Eleazar said that there is no reason for every cop to turn the duty time to sleeping time, what with the big raise every policeman had received in their salary starting January this year.
