Thirty-nine newly-hired non-uniformed personnel (NUP) of the Police Regional Office-Negros Island Region (PRO-NIR) took their oath of office in a ceremony held at Camp Alfredo Montelibano Sr. in Bacolod City on Tuesday, March 17.
PRO-NIR Director PBrig. Gen. Arnold Thomas Ibay, who administered the oath, said the ceremony marks the beginning of a meaningful journey for the NUPs as they formally join the Philippine National Police (PNP).
He highlighted that, while not in uniform, their roles are vital to ensuring the PNP functions efficiently and effectively, supporting every operation and community program with dedication, professionalism, and integrity.
Of the 39 NUPs, three are assigned at the Bacolod City Police Office, 10 at the Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office, four at the Siquijor Police Provincial Office, and 22 at the Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office.
“Your appointment reflects a commitment to public service, accountability, and responsibility, carrying the trust and expectations of the communities you serve,” Ibay said. | GB
