The Police Regional Office-Negros Island Region (PRO-NIR) got augmentation forces from Regions 6 and 7, which is expected to boost its law enforcement capability and operational readiness.
The 190 additional personnel, who have been reassigned to PRO-NIR, comprise 100 police personnel from Police Regional Office-6 and 90 police personnel from Police Regional Office-7.
PLt. Col. Joem Malong, PRO-NIR spokesperson, said the augmentation personnel will be strategically distributed to various police units across the region.
“This deployment ensures that each unit benefits from strengthened manpower, allowing the police force to intensify crime prevention operations, boost police visibility, and enhance response capabilities,” she added.
The additional personnel ultimately reinforces the region’s ability to maintain peace, uphold public safety, and address security challenges more effectively, Malong said.
“The PRO-NIR is also better positioned to expand its operational reach, strengthen law enforcement initiatives, and deliver faster, more responsive police services to communities across the region, while supporting ongoing anti-criminality campaigns, community engagement efforts, and public safety operation,” she said. | GB
