Major streets and crime prone areas in Bacolod City will soon be equipped with Close Circuit Television after the City Peace and Order Council finally approved the Local Anti-Criminality Action Plan, during its regular meeting Friday, at the Masskara Hall of the Bacolod City Government Center, a press release from City Hall said..
The plan was proposed by P/Chief Insp. Noel Polines of the Bacolod City Police Office and was unanimously approved by the council presided over by Councilor El Cid Familiaran, chairman of the Committee on Police, Jail Management and Security, it said. The main purpose of the CCTV is to monitor and minimize crime in the city since theft and robbery rank high among the case filed based on the records of the BCPO, Polines said. As chairman of the council, Bacolod Mayor Monico Puentevella said he will look for a “budget” so the CCTV’s will be purchased as soon as possible, the release said. The installation of this ‘hi-tech’ equipment is a preparation for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation 2015 conference, he said. Puentevella also asked the help of the Bacolod Police and the Philippine Army to continually secure peace and order, adding that he has positive feedback that Bacolod will get the ‘hosting right’ of one of the conference of APEC, the press release added.* Visayan Daily Star
