safety as priority

DAY EIGHT OF CADET ATTACHMENT PROGRAM

“Be sure of your target and what is around it”- 3rd rule of gun safety

Every police officer should be capacitated with proficient firearm handling[1] and familiarization to prevent life-threatening situations such as accidental firing, which happened in the recent incident of a police officer who accidentally shot his subordinate while cleaning their issued firearm.

In relation to the directive of the Chief, Philippine National Police, to conduct a reiteration of gun safety rules to all the personnel of the PNP— the Cadets from the Philippine National Police Academy, together with the staff of Santa Rosa City Police Station under the supervision of PLTCOL PAUL SABULAO, Chief of Police, conducted firearm proficiency and gun familiarization at Tactical Arms Shooting Center in Balibago, Santa Rosa City.

PLTCOL SABULAO reiterated and emphasized to the cadets the importance of internalizing gun safety regulations and possessing exceptional marksmanship in order to use the firearm accurately, especially when confronted with an imminent threat that could endanger our lives and the lives of our people.
