DEPUTY Director General Leonardo Espina, National Police officer in charge, led on Wednesday the force’s Lenten retreat and called on the 150,000 policemen to reflect on their individual roles as public servants and law enforcers in pursuing the change- management agenda of the agency.
“In this season of Lent and sacrifice, let us take the time to renew our faith in God and renew our commitment to ourselves and the Filipino people; and in reforming our organization,” Espina said.
Espina particularly urged policemen to internalize and pledge individual commitment and support for the Peace and Order Agenda for Transformation and upholding the Rule of Law (Patrol Plan 2030), the force’s strategic blueprint for raising the standards of governance at the national level.
Espina expressed optimism that “nothing can get in the way of the National Police’s desire to introduce change and completely reform the organization in all aspects of administration, operations and individual performance.”
