DAVAO CITY — The Police Regional Office 11 said that an estimate of 100 police officials are now undergoing training to know if they will be qualified to be part of the security group of President-elect Rodrigo Duterte.
Chief Superintendent Manuel Gaerlan, PRO 11 regional director, said that some police officers were selected while some of them volunteered to join the President-elect.
“They are undergoing training and they will be re-assigned to the police security and protection group as part of the Presidential Security Group (PSG),” Gaerlan said in a press conference on Monday, June 13.
He said that the police officials will also undergo neuro-psychiatric test and medical examination.
