~Internal Investigation Already Underway.~
PHILIPSBURG:--- The Nationale Algemene Politie Bond (NAPB) unequivocally condemns the alleged use of a police uniform and/or equipment to engage in unlawful activities. Such actions, if confirmed, represent a grave breach of public trust and stand in direct opposition to the values, ethics, and responsibilities upheld by our members and the law enforcement profession as a whole.
The NAPB is committed to transparency, accountability, and the highest standards of conduct. We fully support the immediate launch of an internal investigation to determine the facts surrounding this incident. Any individual found to have misused the police uniform, authority, or public confidence for criminal purposes must be held fully accountable under the law.
“Misrepresentation of law enforcement undermines the integrity of every officer who serves honorably,” said President of NAPB, Marcus Pantophlet. “We will not tolerate behavior that jeopardizes community trust or compromises the safety of the public.”
NAPB remains steadfast in its commitment to ethical policing, community partnership, and maintaining the highest standards expected of those who wear the uniform.
