Nagkaroon ng karagdagang sea at land mobile assets, at communication equipment ang Philippine National Police (PNP) upang masuportahan ang mga operasyon sa bansa.
Pinangunahan ni PNP Chief General Dionardo Carlos ang blessing ng mga bagong kagamitan sa idinaos na seremonya sa PNP National Headquarters, araw ng Miyerkules.
Nagkakahalaga ang mga kagamitan ng kabuuang P576,667,540.
“The PNP is grateful to President Rodrigo R Duterte and the national government for the gesture of genuine responsiveness to the operational needs of the PNP to perform our law enforcement and public safety mission. We can only reciprocate our gratitude through better police service to the people,” saad ni Carlos.
Maliban sa bagong seacrafts, mayroon ding bagong 10 police High-speed Tactical Watercraft na may twin 250 horsepower engines.
Inaasahang makatutulong ang bagong seacraft sa serbisyo ng PNP Maritime Group and Special Action Force para sa seaborne police operations at pagpapatrolya sa karagatang sakop ng bansa.
Mayroon ding bagong 34 na 6-wheel utility truck, 123 na 4×2 patrol vehicle, 170 na lowband VHF tactical radio set, at 1,628 na handheld Digital Mobile Radio transceiver.
Ang procurement program ay pinondohan mula sa PNP Capability Enhancement Program (CEP) para sa taong 2020 at 2021.
“These vehicles and communication equipment make up the backbone of police operations, the field that are expected to further boost police patrol and visibility in land and sea environment to meet requirements for greater police presence in communities under heightened COVID Alert levels; and to support KASIMBAYANAN SAFE initiatives for the forthcoming 2022 National and Local Elections,” ani Carlos.
Dagdag ng PNP Chief, “Especially with more communication equipment available, we can now swiftly provide immediate rapid reaction to calls for police assistance and emergency response.”
