Philippine National Police chief PDGen. Ricardo C. Marquez
said during his first regional visit here that the PNP is in the process of
procuring more firearms, communication equipment and mobility assets to equip
the country’s police force.
The country’s highest police official told the officers and
personnel right after the arrival honors accorded by a battalion-size formation
in front of the administration building of Camp Rafael C. Rodriguez, the
regional headquarters of the PNP in this region, that the national police
headquarters is in the process of procuring not only short firearms but around
50,000 assault rifles, mobile assets, P100 million worth of communication
equipment, patrol shoes and standard uniforms for the police.
According to him, even as he had ordered more of the police
personnel to patrol the streets, the PNP had to ensure that they will be
provided with the necessary armaments, proper uniforms, communication equipment
and mobility.
Marquez said that listed as priority recipients of these
assets will be the country’s “most challenged” regions and Caraga is among
those in the top of the list.
