“We are aiming for zero incidents,” said Wanky.
Police are deployed in cemeteries, churches, bus terminals, port terminals, and airports.
PRO-6 is closely working with other government agencies and law enforcement for a peaceful and orderly commemoration of “Undas.”
“In our security coverage, we will closely coordinate and collaborate with the local government units, other law enforcement agencies, force multipliers, and advocacy support groups,” said Wanky.
“To support our deployment, checkpoint and law enforcement operations, police visibility, and other police interventions be made to prevent lawlessness,” added Wanky.
