BACOLOD City – “I need your support.”
The newly installed officer-in-charge of the Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) appealed for help in maintaining peace and order.
Senior Superintendent Jack Wanky (not Wangky, as previously reported) also promised to get rid of “the few but shameful scalawags in uniform.”
“To make the city a peaceful and healthy place, I need you to help me,” Wanky said during a turnover of command ceremony at the BCPO headquarters yesterday. “I alone cannot make this happen.”
Wanky replaced Senior Superintendent Flynn Dongbo, who was reassigned to the Police Regional Office 18’s (PRO-18) Regional Personnel Housing Accounting Unit.
“I need the support and participation of all stakeholders,” said Wanky.
Prior to being detailed in Negros Island Region, Wanky was chief of the PRO-6’s Regional Intelligence Unit.
“I need the collective effort of my fellow servicemen,” he said. “Most of all, I need the help and cooperation of the peace-loving people of Bacolod to help maintain and sustain peace and order and tranquil living [in] the city.”
Senior Superintendent Leonardo Cesneros, deputy PRO-18 director for administration, led the turnover rites on behalf of the regional director, Chief Superintendent Renato Gumban.
Wanky promised to “continue to enforce disciplinary measures headed to transform and eradicate the few but shameful scalawags in uniform that continue to destroy the office and the organization in general.”
But this will not happen “with the simple snap of the finger,” he stressed. “We have to work hard and work together.”
Meanwhile Dongbo thanked the BCPO and other stakeholders for their support during his one-year service as police head.
He cited the BCPO’s several accomplishments under his leadership, including the generally peaceful election and MassKara Festival, and the 13-percent drop in index crimes.
Dongbo said the BCPO also let drug dependents undergo ear acupuncture treatment as an alternative mode of rehabilitation.
“This is a cheaper way to treat them. It costs only P50 per session,” he said, adding that the treatment is detoxifying, and completing it takes six sessions.
After the treatment, the patients were made to undergo electricity-related vocational course training under the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, said Dongbo.
Ongoing BCPO projects include renovation of the old building, construction of Police Station 2 building and installation of the security cameras in all police stations, he said./PN
