New police recruits to replace retiring cops
BY BOY RYAN B. ZABAL
KALIBO, Aklan –- The Philippine National Police (PNP) would recruit new policemen to fill up the vacancies left by at least 30 cops retiring this year, a top official of the Aklan Provincial Police Office (APPO) said.
In this town alone, said Supt. William Macavinta, acting police director, “about 10 policemen, mostly senior police officers, are retiring this year, and this could possibly hamper police operations in Kalibo under Chief Insp. Arnold Ardiente.”
“"Their retirements could affect the peace and order campaign of the police,"” Macavinta said.
Macavinta said he made a request to Chief Supt. Geary Barias, regional police director, for additional policemen in identified towns of Aklan where there are police officers retiring.
“"The personnel strength of PNP offices in the 17 towns could be solved by the admission of new recruits to the police service,"” he said.
Meanwhile, Macavinta said there have been no encounters between communist insurgents and the police for the past months.”
He said the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams and the local police are regularly conducting intensive patrols in upland barangays and are setting up checkpoints to thwart criminals out to sow terror in the community.
PNP Chief Director General Oscar Calderon earlier directed all police units nationwide to intensify the operations against the rebels, citing the attacks on far-flung police precincts by the New People's Army.
