KALIBO, Aklan – There would be additional patrol service vehicles to hasten the mobility of the local police, a top official of the Aklan Provincial Police Office (APPO) said.
Supt. William Macavinta said new 17 police vehicles allocated for the province, to include Toyota Revo and Altis, would be turned over to various police stations this year.
“The new police vehicles will further boost the morale of the police force in responding to the needs of the community. The 17 police patrol cars are intended to increase police responsiveness to crimes,” he said.
At least 354 new patrol vehicles were bought by the Philippine National Police (PNP) recently. These would be distributed to the regional offices and police stations in the province this year.
The patrol vehicles were presented during the turn over of command of incoming PNP chief, Director General Oscar Calderon.
Macavinta said the present number of police vehicles in the town of Kalibo is not enough for patrol uses.
A request for additional vehicles from New Washington town mayor Edmund Peralta was recently endorsed to the PNP higher headquarters to augment the local police’s “slightly repaired” existing patrol vehicle.
“We are in need of patrol vehicles for these police stations for an all-out campaign against criminality,” Macavinta said, adding the vehicles would be used also for the Association of South East Asian Nations summit scheduled in Cebu City in December before the PNP would distribute to recipient police stations nationwide.
The town of Kalibo, he said, definitely needs an additional patrol car for the conduct of aggressive patrol operations in time for the 2007 Kalibo Señor Sto. Niño Ati-Atihan festival.
Macavinta said the PNP is pushing for the modernization of police facilities, including equipments and service vehicles in police stations across the country.
