Police Reform – 1996

1996

No Implementation No implementation

As referenced above, the peace agreement refers to police reforms in several different sections. The main stipulations are two fold: (1) Integration of MNLF into the Philippine National Police (PNP); and (2) the creation of a new institution and police force: “the PNP Regional Command for the new Autonomous Region, which shall be the Special Regional Security Forces (SRSF) as referred to in Paragraph 8, Article III of the Tripoli Agreement.”

Integration of MNLF candidates into the Philippine National Police (PNP) did not begin in 1996. Neither the PNP Regional Command for the new Autonomous Region, nor the Special Regional Security Force (SRSF) were established in 1996.
