The protective headgears were from EVO Helmets Philippines and NHK Revton Corp, Philippine and were distributed to the POSO personnel through the city government.
The local government said the pledged motorcycle gears were allocated according to the quantity and needs of the staff of the POSO’s four units: 62 helmets for the Traffic Management Division, eight for Sidewalk Clearing Operations Group, seven for Anti-Squatting Task Force, and three for members of the Task Force Disiplina.
It added that the helmets will help in guaranteeing the safety of emergency responders and law enforcement officers in the city as they work in the frontlines dealing with the dangers of the road.

They donated the helmets to the POSO personnel as a token of gratitude for their efforts and sacrifices in maintaining the public order and safety in the city, the local government said.
