THE Philippine National Police (PNP) Directorate for Police Community Relations (DPCR) is crafting guidelines to be followed by police personnel in engaging with community pantry organizers to avoid any further misconceptions and misunderstanding.
PNP Chief General Guillermo Eleazar said under the guidelines, police presence in the vicinity of community pantries should not be to conduct profiling of organizers, but to maintain peace and order and ensure that minimum public health safety standards are strictly observed.
