Pnp Administrative Defense Guide

Summary

Absence without leave in the PNP can be considered simple neglect of duty under NAPOLCOM MC 2016-002. Mitigating circumstances, like urgent family matters, may be considered if properly documented. Unauthorized software installation may lead to misconduct charges. Shared computer access and lack of direct evidence can be defenses. A sworn statement should include shared access, lack of evidence, and supporting documents.

However, she has an explanation defending herself: she was not able to report on duty on the said date due to an urgent family matter. As she said as a mother of a *-month-old child struggling with a persistent cough that worsened, which coincided with the schedule of vaccination, she has no choice but to remain by his side. Is it a statement to be considered justifiable facts for his administrative liability?
In cases like this, the context and circumstances surrounding the absence are usually taken into account. Here's what might be considered:
- Urgent family matters, such as caring for a sick child, can be seen as mitigating circumstances.
- Proof of the urgency and necessity of her absence could strengthen her defense.
- It would be wise to communicate and document the reason for the absence as soon as possible, even if after the fact.

Can you give an idea about the administrative charge of a PNP officer who installed games on the office computer, which is a violation of the office regulation?

For the accused police officer, a defense could include:
