Have you noticed lately the visibility of our police officers? Well if you do, these are the initiatives of the new Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief, PGen Rodolfo S. Azurin, Jr. Currently, the new PNP Chief's program is bound to Malasakit, Kaayusan, Kapayapaan tungo sa Kaunlaran.
I believed their visibility is really important today since the face-to-face classes had already started and we truly need the presence of these police officers to keep not only our children safe but the whole community.
The "Ber" months had started already and we all know what usually happens during this time of the year. While people are merry-making others are money-making by doing illegal activities such as holdups, snatching, and scams.
Though there is the not so good perception about the police officers, we cannot void that there are still more police officers who do good or what we call "mababait" just like what PLtCol Dexter Versola mentioned in our lunch meeting with him a week ago. He mentioned that our Police Officers are naturally mababait, and some needs to be reformed.
PLt Col Dexter Versola is the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO)'s Spokesperson, he is the main Police Officer who faces the media when there's a need for inquiries, clarification, and interviews with regards to the activities of the NCRPO under the leadership of the new Regional Director, PBGen Jonnel C. Estomo.
In line with the programs of the PNP, the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO's) new Regional Director, PBGen Jonnel C. Estomo, enforces and implements the S.A.F.E. program, which he used when he was still the Provincial Director in Cavite, then it was later on used in Region 5. The SAFE Program stands for Seen Appreciated Felt Extraordinary.
The Police must be seen.
All programs must be appreciated by the people.
All programs must be felt by the people.
The actions of the Police should be extraordinary.
PLtCol Versola gave the viewpoint of the current leadership which is the "rule of law." All programs, projects, and activities of NCRPO are based on pertaining laws. If the previous leadership is aggressive this time it's calmer and always bound to the rule of law.
Another piece of information shared by PLtCol Versola is the quad concept of operation of the PNP.
Prevent crime by law enforcement operations.
Preempt crime through police intelligence.
Investigate crime through the investigation directorate.
Organize the police and community through Police Community Relations.
There is more to explain and share but so far this is the information that mainly stuck to my mind. For more details you can always check their FB page which SAFE NCRPO.
