Philippine National Police (PNP) acting chief, Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr., vowed to strengthen the agency’s cooperation with the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) to ensure a more efficient, transparent, and citizen-centered public service.
Nartatez welcomed ARTA Director General Ernesto Perez and other officials during their courtesy visit at Camp Crame in Quezon City on October 13. The meeting served as an avenue to reinforce collaboration between the PNP and ARTA in promoting efficient service delivery and accountability within police transactions.
“The collaboration between the PNP and ARTA aims to strengthen transparency, efficiency, and accountability in the delivery of police services. Through this partnership, we are streamlining internal and external processes to ensure faster, more efficient, and citizen-friendly transactions in all PNP offices nationwide,” Nartatez said.
He expressed full support for ARTA’s initiatives under the “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas” campaign, which highlights the PNP’s commitment to implement reforms that provide fast, honest, and people-centered service.
The partnership seeks to simplify internal and external procedures, eliminate redundant steps, and enhance digital systems to improve services such as police clearances, firearms licensing, and administrative processes, while reducing opportunities for fixers and irregular practices.
