The Caloocan City government on Thursday, July 18, turned over a total of 120 body cameras and 100 emergency slap-wrap LED SOS devices to the Caloocan Public Safety and Traffic Management Department (PSTMD) for their night operations.

LED devices will help enforcers implement traffic rules and lessen road accidents.

“Lagi po nating inuuna ang pagpapalakas ng serbisyo publiko kaya naman po batid din natin na kailangang bigyang-pansin ang kaligtasan ng ating mga kawani sa pamahalaang lungsod lalo na habang ginagampanan ang kanilang sinumpaang tungkulin (We always prioritize the strengthening of public services, which is why we are also aware of the need to pay attention to the safety of our city government workers, especially while performing their sworn duties),” Mayor Dale Along Malapitan said.

“Nakahanda po ang pamahalaang lungsod upang siguraduhin na lahat ng pangangailangan ng ating mga operatiba ay natutugunan, dahil sa huli, layunin pa rin ng lahat ng ito na maisaayos at pabilisin ang pagbaba ng serbisyo sa mga mamamayan (The city government is ready to make sure that all the needs of our operatives are met, because in the end, the goal of all this is to fix and speed up the delivery of service to the citizens),” he added.

Meanwhile, the city mayor urged the residents to follow traffic rules always.

“Sa mga Batang Kankaloo, tulungan niyo po ang PSTMD na panatilihing ligtas ang mga kalsada sa pamamagitan ng pagsunod sa tamang batas-trapiko at sa maayos na pakikipag-ugnayan sa inyong kapwa motorista. Tinitiyak ko po sa inyo na ginagawa natin ang lahat upang maging malinis ang hanay ng ating mga kawani, kaya inaasahan din po namin ang inyong kooperasyon (To Batang Kankaloo, please help the PSTMD to keep the roads safe by obeying the correct traffic laws and communicating properly with your fellow motorists. I assure you that we are doing everything to make our staff serve well so we also expect your cooperation),” he said.
