Implementation plan “Yuletide Season” has also been released as a measure to ensure the peaceful celebration of Christmas.
All units were tasked to strictly enforce laws related to firecrackers/pyrotechnics by strengthening efforts on the inspection of warehouses and manufacturing sites, intensifying checkpoint operations to prevent proliferation of loose firearms, and instituting appropriate measures to prevent PNP personnel and other gun holders from illegally discharging their firearms during the yuletide season.
BCPO will also deploy Route Safety Marshals along main thoroughfares and public assistance hubs around the city to assist the general public. Church goers especially during “Simbang Gabi” will also be guarded by the cops on Churches tasked to provide area security, while the tourist spots will be manned by the heightened operations of the Tourist Police.
Eighty personnel from the Regional Public Safety Battalion (RPSB) are detailed at BCPO as augmentation force for the duration of the season and will be assigned mostly at the Central Business District.
A simultaneous ceremonial muzzle taping of firearms will also be conducted on Friday, December 16, to ensure that no PNP personnel will discharge their firearms during the celebrations. Each head of office is directed to tape the muzzle of the issued firearms of their respective personnel with their signature and conduct checking upon the culmination of the yuletide season.
The police officers will also be backed up by the BCPO’s explosive ordnance division (EOD) and special weapons and tactics (SWAT) in case of any untoward incidents.
Lacdan said that the intensification of police visibility is part of the Police Regional Office Cordillera’s directive to maintain peace and order and public safety during the coming Christmas season. - (PIA / by Karissma Sta. Juana)
