00:00The PNP Civil Security Group is worried about the members of the Law Enforcement Agencies
00:08who already have the License to Own and Possess Firearms or LTAF and the registration of firearms.
00:14According to the PNP CSG, more than 11,000 police officers have expired the LTAF while there are 14,000 in the AFP.
00:25There are more than 50,000 firearms registered, 25,000 from the PNP and 29,000 from the AFP.
00:34Police may face administrative charges because of the expired license.
00:41Within 6 months, before the date of expiration, they should renew their license.
00:50We will check. We have given the responsibility to all the commanders to monitor their PNP personnel who did not renew their firearms.
01:02According to the PNP CSG, the reason for not renewing is because they are busy with work.
01:09That is why the requirement is now simplified.
01:12The active members of the PNP and AFP are not included in the psychological and psychiatric examination.
01:21It should be a drug test for the LTAF.
01:24The CSG explains that the police and military have regular psychiatric exam and drug test.
01:32That is why this is enough for their application.
01:36Usually, we have promotions, schooling.
01:41Our police officers are required to undergo schooling.
01:44All of them will undergo a drug test.
01:48At the same time, we also have yearly programs, health service about mental health.
01:59Psychological and psychiatric evaluation is included.
02:03The public should not be responsible for this because the responsibility of the members of the law enforcement agencies
02:11in the possession of firearms under the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act
02:18and not just facing an admin case.
02:21It can also be a criminal case.
02:23Aside from that, there is also an administrative on revocation and cancellation of licenses.
02:28When it comes to accountability, it is more and more difficult for the active members of the PNP and AFP.
02:37And because the application is simplified,
02:39the police and military are not in a hurry to approve the renewal of the permit and license
