Upon taking the oath and assumption to office, you are invested by the people and the law with the authority as law enforcer.
The PNP Badge pinned on your left breast is the symbol of that legal authority: it is so placed, nearer to your heart, to remind you of the fidelity and dedication to duty expected of you as a public servant.
You have been entrusted with badge as a symbol of your worthiness as a police officer to serve and protect the people from whom you derived the power and authority, to enforce the laws of the land without fear or favor.
The Camp is hoisted upon a shoulder hill at Brgy. Campetic, Palo, Leyte and is directionally facing East-South-East.
Initially, the Camp was conceived purposely to be occupied by the Headquarters of the Leyte Philippine Constabulary/Integrated National Police (PC/INP) Command. In fact, when the Cornerstone was laid by the Commander-in-Chief, President Ferdinand E Marcos, on July 2, 1974, it was named “Camp Daniel Z. Romualdez”, in honor of the late Congressman. Later on, the camp was renamed “Camp September 21st Movement” in commemoration of the Proclamation of Martial Law in the country and the birth of the New Society, pursuant to General Order Number 385 of the Department of National Defense, General Headquarters, AFP dated June 7, 1977.
The PNP shall enforce the law, prevent and control crimes, maintain peace and order and ensure public safety and internal security with the active support of the community.
