Maj. Gen. Anthony A. Aberin, director of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO), ordered the investigation into a number of police commanders in Metro Manila for various violations of their men, including unmanned posts and playing games on cellular phones while on duty.

Aberin issued the order after two-day surprise Red Teaming operations across the metropolis as part of the monitoring and assessment if the crime prevention and law enforcement guidelines are properly implemented on the ground.

“We must step up with our crime prevention and solution efforts. I expect police commanders to be present, aware, and accountable for their men. Discipline begins at the top,” said Aberin.

Police have been employing Red Teaming to test and improve police operations to identify potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities. This includes simulation of peace and order challenges and performance evaluation.
