350 new cops take oath in Caraga

A total of 350 new police recruits of Police Regional Office (PRO) 13 took their oath of office this week boosting the police force of Caraga region.

The new recruits were comprised of 251 male and 99 female who passed a thorough examination and screening for the 2018 Police Officer 1 (PO1) Regular Recruitment Program.

They will receive a basic monthly salary of P29,668 aside from other allowances.

“Remember that an oath of office is the mortar that binds us to the foundations of our government. Since you entered the realm of law enforcement, you have opted to follow a higher standard of integrity and conduct,” PRO13 director, Chief Supt Gilberto DC Cruz said.

The region’s police chief also reminded them to build their foundation on integrity and credibility and never engage in illegal activities.

The new batch of police officers 1 will be brought to the Regional Training Center 13 in Surigao City to undergo the six months mandatory training.

During the ceremony, members of the Regional Screening Committee were accorded with plaques of appreciation for their efforts in efficiently supervising the selection process, while families, relatives and friends witnessed the oath taking of the new police officers. (PJ Orias)
