BUTUAN CITY – Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief, Gen. Guillermo Eleazar, has begun a three-day command visit and inspection of the Police Regional Office (PRO) 13 (Caraga), which is seen to boost the morale of the police officers in the region.

In a statement Tuesday, the PRO-13 said Eleazar’s visit began on Monday and will end on Wednesday.

“The PNP chief will check the status of police units and personnel in the ground to ensure the full implementation of the CPNP (Chief PNP) thrust on Intensified Cleanliness Policy, which includes cleanliness in police stations, offices, and camps; cleanliness in ranks; and cleanliness in the community,” it said.

Aside from the regional headquarters of PRO-13, the PNP chief will also visit the Surigao del Sur Police Provincial Office (PPO) in Tandag City, the Surigao del Norte PPO in Surigao City and the General Luna Municipal Police Station in Siargao Islands, also in Surigao del Norte.

He also presided over a command conference on Monday where PRO-13 Director, Brig. Gen. Romeo Caramat Jr., presented the accomplishments of the PNP in the region from May 1 to September 10 this year.

Among the major accomplishments of PRO-13 during the period were the arrest of two Communist Terrorist Group members with a total bounty of PHP1.5 million; and the arrest of the other 37 high-ranking CTG members, 73 CTG members with arrest warrants, 215 drug suspects, 180 personalities involved in illegal logging activities, 166 individuals for possession of loose firearms, and 451 most wanted persons.
