Sr. Police Supt. Graciano Mijares, head of the city’s 3000-strong police force, said on Tuesday that more uniformed police officers have been deployed in the urban center as part of the “police visibility” campaign of the local police command.

Mijares said that the local command has not received intelligence information about the alleged terror plot in various urban centers in
However, Mijares said the local police command is not taking chances. “As usual, the police command is always on its toes to preempt anyone from sowing criminal activities here,” Mijares added.

During the regular session on Monday, Tabor has expressed alarm over the increasing number of crimes in the locality and the reported “summary killings” which were perpetrated by unknown assailants.
Tabor said that the city council would want the local police to provide the local august body the regular report of the actual crime occurring here and the action taken by the local police command.
