SORSOGON CITY, January 5 (PIA) – Sorsogon City Police Chief PSupt Edgardo Ardales said that the city police is now on the process of synchronizing the barangay patrol system among barangay tanods and the Philippine National Police (PNP) force to ensure peace, order and security in all barangays here.
“The responsibility of ensuring peace and security in the barangay lies primarily on barangay officials and barangay police (tanod), and men of PNP is at all time available to render service to the general public according to their mandate and ensure that the whole community is secured and free from all forms of harm.
Ardales bared that among his plans and priorities for 2012 is to hold dialogue with all barangay officials across the city to discuss with them some crime mitigation efforts and forge partnership with them in order to make sure that the efforts as planned and implemented will not be put to waste.
“I am planning of entering into an agreement with barangay officials and tanods in terms of a systematic implementation of a patrol system where tanods and policemen assigned in the area will take turns ensuring that no areas will be left unattended to,” the official said.
He also specifically mentioned that electrification in dark areas and the visibility of barangay tanods through the assistance of PNP personnel in the area are a must in all barangays.
He likewise said he wanted to know the difficulties experienced by the barangay police in patrolling or conducting rounds especially that reports have reached his office that some barangays in the city do not really have existing barangay tanods.
Ardales said that majority of the eighty four (84) active policemen and twenty(20) rookies of their force are assigned in sub-station 1 and sub-station 2 at the heart of Sorsogon City, this is why he also appealed to business owners to hire security that would protect their respective establishments and not to fully give to the PNP personnel all the responsibility of safeguarding their lives and properties since that aside from peace and order situation, they also have other responsibilities to attend to and that he admitted they cannot also keep an eye on the residents here individually.
“However in December last year, just after I assumed into office, I have immediately issued directives to my men to ensure that peace and order situation will be sustained not only in times of celebration but also during ordinary days,” he said. (BRecebido/PIA Sorsogon)
