Arthur Llamas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should hire more lawyers in order to\u00a0 ensure that the rights of our policemen facing charges will be protected,\u201d Llamas said in an interview on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>To entice applicants, Llamas pointed out that lawyers joining the legal unit of the PNP will get the privilege of holding the Senior Inspector (military equivalent of Captain) rank upon entry.<\/p>\n<p>The LS, which only has 96 lawyers to date, also gives competitive salaries and allowances for police lawyers with P48,000 as starting pay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlus, there is permanency because if they join the service at the young age of 25, their retirement age is 56 so they are assured of continuous employment given that they would not face dismissal from service,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>To qualify, applicants must be official members of the Philippine bar and must not be over 35 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Once they get hired, the lawyers will undergo a four-month training for officers, including field training exercises.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would like to change their mentality from purely civilian mentality to the mentality of a uniformed personnel,\u201d Llamas said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSa field training exercises, dadaan sila sa traffic, sa investigation, etc. para ma-feel nila anong feeling na maging pulis,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, PNP chief Director General Ronald \u201cBato\u201d dela Rosa said the PNP is not as \u201clegally-equipped,\u201d explaining that it slows down the resolution of cases, most of which involved illegal drugs.<em><strong>\/rga<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a competitive pay and rank equivalent of a military captain, young lawyers might want to consider
