The Police Regional Office-Negros Island Region carried out a comprehensive accounting and inspection of all firearms issued to personnel Feb. 10, per orders of its regional director, P/BGen. Arnold Thomas Ibay.
The inspection involved a thorough verification of serial numbers and stenciled markings on all issued firearms to ensure proper documentation and compliance with regulations, while also confirming their serviceability and full operational readiness.
“All personnel actively participated, demonstrating discipline, accountability, and responsible firearm handling, while reinforcing safeguards against loss, misuse, or unauthorized possession, thereby strengthening the integrity, reliability, and readiness of the regional police force,” the PRO-NIR said in a statement.
The activity aims to ensure that each service gun remains in the possession of its assigned police officer and is fully accounted for, it added.
The activity highlighted the PRO-NIR’s commitment to operational readiness, strict accountability, and the safety of the public, reinforcing the integrity and reliability of the regional police force.
It also reflected PRO-NIR’s ongoing efforts to maintain the highest standards of professionalism, discipline, and accountability, while enhancing the operational readiness of its personnel in fulfilling their mandate to serve and protect the public. ||
