MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine National Police (PNP) has asked the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to set uniforms for agents who will provide security to politicians, government officials and private individuals during the 2010 national and local elections.

PNP chief Director General Jesus Verzosa said the communication with the NBI was part of the effort to minimize election-related violent incidents (ERVIs).

“PSPG (Police Security Protection Group) director Chief Superintendent Jose Cataluna sent a letter last week to the NBI about the request,” Verzosa said during yesterday’s meeting with the Tuesday Club at Shangri-La Hotel.

The PSPG is the unit of the PNP in charge of providing security for politicians, government officials and private individuals who have death threats.

Verzosa said the letter was addressed to NBI Director Nestor Mantaring.

According to Verzosa, members of law enforcement agencies, who will carry firearms during election period, should wear uniforms to avoid miscommunications that sometimes resulted in misencounters.

He recalled that during the 2004 national and local elections, policemen, who were providing security to two rivaled politicians in Nueva Ecija, were killed in a misencounter. “Policemen were in civilian clothes so they did not recognize that they were fellow officers,” Verzosa said.

He said there were fewer ERVIs in the 2007 elections compared with the 2004 polls because the PNP ordered all its members assigned as security escorts to wear uniforms.

More than one year before the 2010 presidential elections, Verzosa said the PNP has started coming up with measures to ensure that the polls will be honest, orderly and peaceful.

Verzosa earlier asked the Commission on Elections to refrain from issuing gun ban exemptions to lessen election-related crimes.

Verzosa has proposed “one last” amnesty for loose firearms, implementation of total gun ban, and a stiffer penalty for illegal possession of firearms to minimize, if not totally prevent, ERVIs during the presidential elections in 2010. - By Cecille Suerte Felipe (Philstar News Service, www.philstar.com)

One of the usual problems of law enforcers assigned to secure politicians is partisanship, as most of the individual security/escorts of politicians are not alienated to side or incline their loyalty to politicians they are securing.

Politicians also are picky in their choice of security. It's either based on family relationship or party affiliations of the families of the law enforcers to secure them.

Law enforcers assigned to politicians during election time should be in full uniform
with tags from the Commission on Elections. If elements from the NBI will also be given this task of securing politicians, they must also be required to wear distinctive uniform to make sure they are visible as law enforcers, not in a decorum similar to that of the politician they are securing.

The PSPG/PSPO has to provide the
best equipment/training to it's personnel.
This must be a special unit to secure foreign/local
VIP's
