In a statement, Chief PNP PGEN. DEBOLD M. SINAS found out that police officers on board a motorcycle are effective tool in making sure of the safety and security of the public and also prevent motorcycle-riding suspects from accomplishing their criminal activities.
“Despite the fact that the use of motorcycles in our country is a common way of transportation, it is also utilized by criminals to easily flee from a crime scene as it offers increased mobility to sail across narrow and crowded roads, sidewalks, and even major thoroughfares,” RD CARAMAT JR added.
With this year’s Women’s month theme: “Juana Laban sa Pandemya: Kaya!”, PRO13’s motorcycle exhibition highlights the extraordinary roles of Policewomen in the region amidst the global pandemic.
