With the recent recorded COVID19 positive cases in the Philippine Military Academy (PMA), the Baguio City Police Office (BCPO) has collaborated with the Local Government of Baguio to train the personnel of PMA in contact tracing.

Gracing the opening ceremony, Baguio City Mayor, Hon Benjamin B Magalong lauded the participants for their willingness to learn and support in controlling the spread of the virus not only in the PMA but to the City of Baguio.
During the training, BCPO Director, PCol. Allen Rae Co shared the measures the BCPO have undertaken in handling positive cases of COVID19 which includes conduct of ocular inspection and strategizing engineering and administrative adjustment to contain the spread of the virus in the workplace.
