This (decrease in crime rate) could have not been realized without the help and cooperation of the community and the public. It is a truism that the PNP’s efforts in the field of law enforcement play a very significant role in keeping our country safe, secured and peaceful. The PNP, however, cannot do this alone without the collective support, participation and effective partnership.
And to further improve the delivery of public safety services. We have to assess where we may be lagging in terms of security by evaluating our strength in terms of lair of influence and foresee possible plans in the future. In line with this, lower units were given priority for the deployment of newly assigned police officers. The downloading of personnel from Regional Public Safety Battalion (RPSB) paved the way for the deployment of PCOs to police stations with depleted personnel strength. This further strengthens the District Public Safety Battalion.###
