The Bulacan Police Provincial Office will deploy 687 personnel in the province for the observance of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day.
The force will be composed of 108 Reactionary Standby Support Force (RSSF), 323 policemen to secure the cemeteries and columbaria, 207 to secure the places of convergence, and 49 road safety marshals.
Additional 665 force multipliers and 403 advocacy groups will also be deployed to assist the motorists in anticipation of the influx of people who will pay homage to their departed loved ones.
Col. Relly B. Arnedo, Bulacan police director, said that the Bulacan Police Red Team was tasked to conduct inspections and preparations at different police stations and other support units, including the police hubs established in this province.
In preparation for this yearly tradition, the Bulacan Police established Police Assistance Desks (PADs), Motorist Assistance Desks (MADs), and Traffic Assistance Desks (TADs) in different strategic areas such as cemeteries, bus terminals, and points of entry and exit along the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX).
This will serve as security measures to assist the motorist and maintain peace and order in the province.
Dissemination of safety tips and information was also undertaken to raise public awareness of different safety measures against lawless elements, making them more vigilant, responsible, and cautious in time for All Saints and All Souls Day.
The goal of deployment is not just police visibility but also to feel their presence in the areas of convergence to assist commuters, particularly senior citizens and persons with disabilities.
Bulacan police encouraged the public to stay vigilant and assures that all its units, including the established PADs, MADs, and TADs, are on standby to guard against criminals who may take advantage during the season and are ready to respond to any situation in case of emergency.
