Nineteen municipalities in Negros Oriental recently received brand new Mahindra police patrol vehicles as part of the procurement program of the Philippine National Police at the regular Monday morning flag raising ceremony at the PNP Provincial Office.

Governor Roel Degamo led the turnover, assisted by OIC provincial police director Sr. Supt. Dionard Carlos.

Carlos said the patrol vehicles arrived in Negros Oriental Friday and he ordered them turned over at the earliest time possible so they can be fully utilized by the police stations.

The governor exhorted the police to dutifully serve with dedication and commitment to maintain peace and order in the province.

Fr. Ferdinand Ferraren blessed the patrol vehicles before they were presented to the police chiefs of the 19 towns.

The Negros Oriental PNP also recently received a Kia troop carrier, which is now assigned at the Provincial Public Safety Company.

Carlos said he is hopeful that the PNP hierarchy in Camp Crame, Quezon City will release additional patrol vehicles for the six other cities of Negros Oriental.*JFP
