Bacolod City – The Sangguniang Panlungsod is urging the Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO), though officer-in-charge Police Col. Joeresty Coronica, to intensify police visibility and crime deterrence by assigning police personnel in all public and private schools for the safety of the students for academic year 2024-2025.
The resolution authored by Councilor Claudio Puentevella said there is a need for the BCPO to increase its police visibility to institute appropriate measures to ensure the safety and security of our children and to help bring back people’s confidence in our law enforcement agencies, it said.
Increased police visibility around private and public schools will protect students and suppress crimes within the vicinity of schools, the resolution added. (Chrysee Semillano via The Visayan Daily Star)
