A tri-party agreement to authorize the assistance of motorcycle owners and riders in the anti-crime campaign had been firmed up, number one councilor, El Cid Familiaran, said in an interview with NNF over the weekend.
Familiaran, Chairman of the SPs Peace and Order Committee, said he, Bacolod Police Chief Senior Supt. Celestino Guara and Mayor Evelio Leonardia have agreed to set up an Anti-Crime Task Force, composed of motorcycle owner and riders who have committed to help in the campaign to curb petty crimes including akyat-bahay operations by criminals, robberies and hold-ups, snatchings and many other petty crimes which has gone on unabated and which have reared its ugly head with impunity. There have initially been 270 volunteers on wheels who are to carry out patrols during wee hours of the morning when everybody is asleep, said Familiaran. But the volunteers are to be supervised by a regular policeman. The volunteer will report cases of crimes with the policemen doing the apprehending. These volunteers will be provided Identification Cards, while orientation on what they are to do as crime fighters have been going on . Since they cannot be funded out of government funds, Familiaran said they are appealing to various sectors to provide assistance, more especially in the form of gasoline. With the cooperation of Bacolodnon, petty crimes can be licked in the long-term , said Familiaran, who has advanced the view that visibility of anti-crime fighters including policemen, are a major deterrent to crime activities.
