Bacolod Councilor El Cid Familiaran, chairman of the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) Committee on Police Matters and Security, is asking the city government to allocate funds for the procurement of additional patrol vehicles, traffic lights and Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras. Familiaran stressed that Bacolod needs these equipment being a highly-urbanized city, which was recently declared as peaceful and ready for further development. The councilor noted that the city police force lacks patrol vehicles, as he pointed out that six of 10 police stations need patrol vehicles to improve their visibility campaign to help deter crimes in the streets. He claimed that policemen use their personal cars to respond to incidents due to the unavailability of vehicles. He explained that by allocating P6 million, the city could provide new patrol vehicles to the six police stations while the installation of CCTV cameras in public elementary and secondary schools will need a P2 million budget. The councilor also said that by buying additional street lights,the city could ease traffic congestion on busy intersections./WDJ By Glazyl Jane Marie Y. Masculino Watchmen Daily Journal
