The Internal Affairs Service (IAS) of the PNP plays a critical role in the disciplinary mechanism of the police force. It acts as the oversight body for monitoring the character and behavior of all police personnel while also serving as the investigative and adjudicatory body for all administrative offenses committed by PNP personnel.
Additionally, the IAS conducts automatic investigations, known as motu proprio, in cases where police personnel discharge firearms or incidents involving deaths, serious physical injuries, or violations of human rights occurring during police operations. This emphasis on accountability and transparency in the police force reflects the commitment of the PNP to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and ethics among its ranks.
