TO BRING their frontline services closer to the people, the Police Regional Office (PRO)-Northern Mindanao holds a whole-day caravan to entertain various concerns of the community at a mall in Cagayan de Oro City, Wednesday, June 20.

The Pulis Natin Caravan slated during mall hours aims to cater complaints, queries, issues and other police-related matters.

Services include motor vehicle clearance and verification, processing of License to Own and Possess Firearm (LTOPF), free legal advice, supervisory office of the Security and Investigation Agencies, Philippine National Police (PNP) recruitment and cybercrime concerns.

The police will also entertain women's and children concerns, human rights issues, PNP retirement benefits issues and concerns, medical and dental services and crime laboratory services.

Superintendent Lemuel Gonda, spokesperson of the PRO-Northern Mindanao, said the caravan also integrates the symposium on crime prevention and illegal drugs held in selected high schools in the city.

Gonda said the Police Quick Response Action Center was launched and Coalition of Force Multipliers and Advocacy support was also conducted.

“The caravan aims to bring all the support services given by the PNP and share information relating to PNP services,”Gonda said.

The activity is a program of PNP chief Oscar Albayalde and implemented by PRO-Northern Mindanao director Chief Superintendent Timoteo Pacleb.

Gonda said there is no update yet whether the activity will be implemented regularly.
