About this document
Amending RA 6975: PNP Maritime Functions by Shurei Ran is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This bill seeks to amend Republic Act No. 6975 by removing the maritime functions of the Philippine National Police (PNP). It argues that assigning maritime police functions to the PNP is impractical and duplicates the work of other agencies like the Coast Guard and Navy that are better suited to perform law enforcement at sea. The bill amendments remove references to the PNP having maritime police units and functions throughout RA 6975 to refocus the PNP solely on land-based law enforcement duties.
