The PRO3 director emphasized to members of the Command Group, Directorial Staff, Provincial and City Directors and Directors of Regional Support Units the PNP's operational thrust on anti-criminality and illegal drugs which have set the overall performance of PRO3.
“We are in this together and I am optimistic that we will realize all our plans and programs this year with more deliberate and calibrated actions primed with excellence, optimizing the utilization of our human, money and material resources available,’’ he stressed.
The New Year’s Call is an annual tradition in the PNP wherein policemen pay a call on their commanders and key officials in their respective areas of responsibility.
