Activities

The Philippine National Police (PNP) serves on the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking, as mandated by the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003. The Act states that the PNP shall be the primary law enforcement agency to undertake surveillance, investigation and arrest of individuals or persons suspected to be engaged in trafficking. It shall closely coordinate with various law enforcement agencies to secure concerted efforts for effective investigation and apprehension of suspected traffickers. It shall also establish a system to receive complaints and calls to assist trafficked persons and conduct rescue operations.

PNP is a member of the ASEANAPOL. The ASEANAPOL deals with the preventive, enforcement and operational aspects of cooperation against transnational crime. ASEANAPOL has been actively involved in sharing of knowledge and expertise on policing, enforcement, law, criminal justice, and transnational and international crimes.

To strengthen rapport and promote greater ownership amongst ASEAN countries in the prevention and eradication of crime, the various ASEAN member countries take turns to host the annual event. This year, the 27th ASEANAPOL Conference will be organised by the Singapore Police Force (SPF) from 2 June 2007 to 7 June 2007.
