BORACAY – Malay, Aklan acting chief of police Major Don Dicksie de Dios reminded his policemen to stay disciplined.
Malay’s mainland police station and its Boracay Island station have a combined 362 uniformed personnel.
De Dios, who assumed office on Feb. 1, said wrongdoings or nefarious activities of police officers would neither be tolerated nor condoned under his watch as Malay chief of police.
“Sa mahigit isang buwan natin dito sa Malay, mga apat na pulis ang nadisiplina natin. Seryoso tayo pagdating sa pagdisiplina ng ating kapulisan,” he stressed.
De Dios paid a courtesy call to Malay acting vice mayor Niño Carlos Cawaling and the Sangguniang Bayan members on March 4.
He promised to raise the level of police service through increased visibility on streets and strategic areas.
“Umasa kayo na gagampanan ko ang aking responsibilidad bilang pinuno ng inyong kapulisan sa Malay,” De Dios said.
He also called on stakeholders to support law enforcement and public safety officers as they implement community policing programs.
De Dios also met with villagers in his recent visits to mainland Malay and three barangays in Boracay Island to establish closer ties with local communities.
De Dios stressed an additional 100 personnel will be deployed in Boracay Island in the coming weeks to strengthen the security and order in the whole of Malay.
Policemen will be trained also to enhance and improve their investigative capabilities and first responder techniques as well as to conduct simulation exercises in anticipation of the infux of tourists.
“Sa kabuuan, ang inyong pulis ay maunawain at maasahan. Umiikot ang ating mga kahalili na mga opisyal kahit sa madaling araw. Kami ay narito upang maglingkod, hiling ko rin ang inyong suporta at pakikipagtulungan,” he said./PN
