ILOILO City – Fifty personnel from various police mobile forces across Western Visayas are wrapping up today their five-day Public Safety Forces (PSF) Investigation Response Training.
The training started on Feb. 18 at the Police Regional Office 6 (PRO-6) gym at Camp Martin Delgado.
According to Chief Superintendent John Bulalacao, regional police director, this was the first time this kind of training for PSF personnel was held in Region 6.
The goal was to strengthen the police’s “legal offensives” against threats to national security, said Bulalacao, via the proper preservation, gathering and processing of evidence after violent incidents perpetrated by enemies of the state.
“We seek to improve our delivery of police service and make bigger accomplishments. For these, we need to level-up the skills of our personnel though continuous education,” said Bulalacao.
More trainings would be conducted this year, he revealed.
“It is our desire to fully arm our personnel, not only with guns but more importantly with knowledge so they could perform better,” said Bulalacao.
When he assured as PRO-6 director in June last year, Bulalacao declared: “I shall set high expectations for performance, but I will be fair and just. I will match the right person to the right position.”
There would be a regular evaluation of provincial and city police directors and station commanders.
“Good deeds and exemplary performance will be quickly acknowledged and rewarded, while mediocre performance and misbehavior will be swiftly sanctioned and not tolerated,” said Bulalacao.
Bulalacao assured policemen he was open to suggestions to further improve the PRO-6.
“I’m ready to listen. I solicit inputs. I’m a consultative kind of leader,” he stressed./PN
