Crimes can never be totally prevented and the best deterrent is the certainty of arrest and conviction of suspects, according to a top official of the Philippine National Police in Camp Crame, Quezon City.
Chief Supt. Alex Paul Monteagudo was guest of honor in Friday's graduation of 62 newly-trained police investigators of the province.
Monteagudo, a cavalier awardee, stressed this can only be achieved if police investigators are armed with the right skills in identifying and locating the suspects and gathering evidence for prosecution.
Of the Philippines' more than 7,000 police investigators, more than 80 percent is already trained in the PNP's efforts to create a pool of investigators and that it intends to continue with the training program for the remaining 20 percent.
Monteagudo told the graduates one of the weaknesses in the investigation of crimes is in the gathering of information.
It is for this reason that he required the graduates to visit the jails when crimes are committed because vital information can be found inside jails by befriending suspects of similar incidents.
