Task Force Zamboanga, police receive motorboats

From the Philippine News Agency (Apr 17): Task Force Zamboanga, police receive motorboats

The city government has turned over seven units of motorboats boosting the seaborne capability of the police and military forces in this southern port city.

The motorboats, costing a P127,500 each, were turned over Tuesday afternoon by Mayor Celso Lobregat to Zamboanga City police officer-in-charge Senior Supt. Edwin de Ocampo and Task Force Zamboanga (TFZ) commander Col. Glenn Macasero.

Six of the seven units of motorized bancas are replacements for the watercrafts assigned at the Police Stations 1, 2, 3, 4, 9 and 10 while the remaining one will be for the TFZ troops based in the island barangay of Pangapuyan.

Lobregat said the old and dilapidated ones are being retrieved for rehabilitation and will be returned to the police units they were earlier assigned to augment the conduct of seaborne patrols.

De Ocampo said the motorboats are of big help to his command in the conduct of seaborne patrols covering the 36 kilometers coastline of this southern port city.

Lobregat said the new motorboats form part of the city government’s unyielding support and assistance to the police and military in this city.

He said the city government has also allocated funds for fuel and maintenance to the motorboats.
