Seems too many cops are scratching their balls and picking their nose in public, which is harming their image.

NCRPO chief relieves QC cop for being 'unkempt'

One of the policemen tasked to secure President Benigno Aquino's State of the Nation Address this coming Monday was relieved from his post Thursday allegedly for appearing unkempt.
New Metro Manila police head Chief Superintendent Marcelo Garbo Jr. relieved PO1 Michael Castellano after seeing him unshaven, radio dzBB reported.
Castellano, a member of the Quezon City Police District's Station 7, was told to report to the Metro Manila police in Taguig City starting Friday, the report said.
"Definitely I will be hard on this," Garbo said, referring to his directive to Metro Manila police to look dignified and presentable.
The dzBB report said Garbo noticed Castellano's long goatee while Garbo was inspecting SONA preparations at the Batasan complex and at Commonwealth Avenue.
Last Wednesday, Garbo made clear he will not allow nose-picking or scratching of inappropriate body parts, especially while on duty and in public.
Garbo, who assumed his post last weekend, had reminded his men to protect police dignity by observing proper decorum at all times, especially when in uniform and in public.
He voice dismay over reports of some policemen picking their noses or scratching themselves in the crotch or buttocks. — LBG, GMA News
