NCRPO director Maj. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar explained that policing should keep up with the changing times especially with the advent of new technology such as smartphones that come with social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
“As I have been explaining, big criminal cases start with petty crime. Criminals are usually emboldened to repeat their petty crime or even engage in big-time criminal cases because their small misdeeds in the past were not punished,” said Eleazar. “If these are not acted upon, it is the police organization that is usually being bashed for alleged inaction, which is unfair because we have repeatedly proven that we would immediately act if complaints are made,” said Eleazar.
“Actually, I am forwarding information received or read from the social media to concerned unit commanders for verification and appropriate action,” Eleazar told the Manila Bulletin in an interview.
