The National Police Commission (Napolcom) has ordered the Philippine National Police (PNP) to intensify its campaign against the unauthorized sale of police uniforms.
The directive comes after a photo of a partygoer wearing a full police uniform as a Halloween costume went viral.
According to the individual involved, Daryll Isidro, he purchased the uniform from a tailor in Quiapo, Manila.
During a press conference where Isidro personally apologized to the commission, Napolcom Executive Officer Rafael Calinisan emphasized the need for a strict crackdown on public access to police uniforms and paraphernalia.
