Message from the Director




Like any other law enforcement unit in the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) is not spared from the snag of lack of resources. It is an accepted fact that the CIDG has its own limitations in carrying out its mission and functions in terms of manpower and logistical resources. Our operatives and investigators are starving for lack of intelligence, investigative and operational equipage. Our personnel in the field are confined on the traditional way of gathering information against criminals.


In order to assuage these deficiencies, the CIDG has adopted a proactive strategy that will maximize and encourage community involvement and fully harness and promote community partnership as the ideal, most practical and mutually beneficial antidote to criminality.


Following the PNP’s long history of organizing force multipliers to efficiently address criminality, the CIDG in August 2011 formed its own community volunteers: the Community Investigative Support (CIS). The CIS is the CIDG’s own version of the Barangay Peacekeeping Action Team (BPAT). Its concept runs parallel to the PNP’s Letter of Instruction 22/09 “Bayanihan”, which supports the strengthening of the partnership between the PNP and the community to curb criminality and maintain peace and order.


To our valued members of the CIS, accept my most heartfelt thank for your support. I thank you for being a part of a strong partnership for justice and reform.

Guns, illegal drugs seized in CIDG operations, 3 arrested


Date: October 18, 2012


Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) operatives have arrested three persons for illegal possession of firearms and violation of anti-illegal drugs law in separate raids in Agusan del Norte, Nueva Ecija and Bulacan provinces.


CIDG Director, Police Director Samuel D Pagdilao Jr. said this morning’s raid in Sitio Maong, Brgy. La Union, Cabadbaran City, Agusan del Norte resulted in the arrest of Melvin Canoy.


CIDG operatives have also confiscated from Canoy a homemade shotgun, a caliber 45 pistol, an airgun, an improvised gas propelled rifle and two magazines for caliber 45 loaded with 17 rounds of ammunition.


In Central Luzon, CIDG and Community Investigative Support (CIS) agents have arrested Alberto Estrada, of Brgy. Cuyapa, Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija following a raid at his residence by virtue of a warrant for illegal possession of firearms.


Region 3 CIDG chief, Police Senior Superintendent Elmo Francis Sarono said around 6:15 am last October 16, joint operatives from CIDG Neuva Ecija and CIS raided the residents of Alberto Estrada and Eladio Estrada.


Sarona said the raid at Alberto’s house yielded a caliber 38 revolver and several rounds of ammunition while the raid at Eladio’s house yielded a caliber 45 pistol with two magazines.


Alberto was arrested after he failed to produce the license for the revolver. Eladio, during the raid in his house, showed the operatives his license for the caliber 45 pistol but the CIDG confiscated the firearms nonetheless pending verification for the license that was shown to the operatives.


In Bulacan, CIDG operatives have arrested Christopher Nicolas, 42, in a raid at a suspected drug den in Brgy. Caingin, Bocaue town where an unlicensed caliber 38 pistol loaded with five rounds of ammunition and a sachet of shabu were confiscated from the suspect.


Before Nicolas was arrested, the CIDG in Bulacan received a report that the suspect is in possession of a gun which he used in the illegal drug activities of his group.


Around 8:30 pm last October 12, Bulacan CIDG raided the place and arrested Nicolas. Also seized from the suspect were aluminum foil strip with suspected shabu residue, a digital weighing scale and disposable lighters.
