Police ordered to intensify
patrol system for Yuletide

All police field units in Region 6 have been ordered to intensify their patrolling system during the Yuletide season during which an influx of commuters, shoppers and motorists is expected.

Chief Supt. Agrimero Cruz Jr., police regional director, called for the review of the Police Integrated Patrolling System to ensure a peaceful, orderly and crime-free Christmas holiday.

The implementation of PIPS aims to reduce street crimes, neutralize motorcycle riding-in-tandem criminals, arrest wanted persons, and deter the movement of loose guns, among others.

Under the PIPS, Cruz directed the maximum deployment of police personnel for foot/mobile patrol, checkpoint/chokepoint operations, and to respond to emergencies.

Cruz said police visibility will also hasten their response to calls for assistance.

Cruz also enjoined the public to be more conscious about their security while traveling, or doing outdoor activities, adding that criminals tend to operate in areas of convergence, like malls, bus terminals, seaports and churches.*PNA

Eight elementary pupils were injured when the tricycle they were riding was hit by a truck at the Rizal Highway in Silay City, Negros Occidental, at about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The victims are all residents of Brgy. 5, Silay, and students of Silay South Elementary School, he also said.

Police identified those injured as Criselda Jumaca, 21, and Elbert Alba, 22, both of Brgy. 34, Bacolod.
