The PNP leadership should look beyond mental tests to solve the problem of police brutality, multi-sectoral groups say.
Because brutality in the Philippine National Police is a systemic problem, multi-sectoral groups said the PNP should institute policy reforms, and not just mental tests, to solve this.
“Let’s look at the problem from a policy standpoint and maybe we can put a stop to the killings and the impunity,” he added. The call for regular mental assessment of the police was first amplified after Police Senior Master Sergeant Jonel Nuezca Olalia added police should now look beyond a mental assessment, especially as people might be distrustful of the police.
