KORONADAL CITY, Dec. 29(PIA) -- Service firearms of police personnel in Soccsksargen Region have been taped in preparation for the New Year celebration. | |||
The simultaneous ceremonial muzzle taping of the service firearms of policemen in all police provincial, city and municipal offices on Tuesday was spearheaded by the officers and personnel of the Police Regional Office-12 (PRO-12) at its headquarters in Barangay Tambler, General Santos City. | |||
PRO 12 spokesperson Police Superintendent Resty Damaso, said “the activity was primarily designed in accordance to Letter of Instruction 42 s 2011, which pertains to the implementation of proactive measures against indiscriminate firing of guns during the yuletide season to further prevent injuries and deaths brought by illegal and indiscriminate firing of guns.” | |||
During the ceremonial muzzle taping, Police Chief Superintendent Lester Camba, deputy regional director for administration said, “guns are made to protect the oppressed and not to cause violence and mischief.” | |||
Camba explained, the order from higher headquarters to seal service firearms is a measure to prevent men in uniform from firing their guns especially during the New Year celebration. | |||
“In the past, there have been several accidents involving stray bullets. To prevent these accidents from happening, higher PNP officials have decided to seal the firearms of all police personnel,” he said. | |||
Even with sealed firearms, police personnel should continue with their duties in securing public places with heightened police visibility. | |||
“Always be vigilant and alert especially this coming New Year,” he reminded them. “I hope you continue with securing peace and order of the entire region. | |||
The activity, according to PSupt. Damaso, was also an opportunity to account police personnel and properly turn over the security of the PRO-12 camp to the incoming duty guards while some personnel are spending time with their loved ones and families welcoming the New Year. | |||
In South Cotabato Police Senior Superintendent Randolf Delfin led the muzzle taping ceremonies at the provincial command office. | |||
He reminded his troops not to break the order. Her said those proven to have violated the order may be punished, which could include dismissal from service. | |||
Delfin, however, clarified that police officers could still break their service firearm’s seal during emergency and to response to an impending crime. (RPIO-PRO-12/PIA 12) | |||
