Major streets of the city and crime-prone areas will soon be equipped with Close Circuit Television (CCTV) as the City Peace and Order Council (CPOC) had finally approved the Local Anti-Criminality Action Plan, during its regular meeting last Friday, March 28 at Masskara Hall of the Bacolod People’s House.
The plan was proposed by P/C Insp. Noel Polines of the Bacolod City Police Office BCPO) and unanimously approved by the council presided by Councilor El Cid Familiaran, chairman of the Committee on Police, BJMP and Security. "The council has adopted and approved the Local Anti-Criminality Action Plan that includes the installation of CCTV in major thoroughfares of the city", Polines said. The main purpose of the CCTV is to monitor and minimize crime in the city since theft and robbery ranks among the case filed based on the records of the BCPO, Polines pointed out. As chairman of the council, Bacolod Mayor Monico Puentevella assured that he will look for budget so that CCTV’s will be purchased as soon as possible. The installation of this ‘hi-tech’ equipment is a preparation for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 2015 conference, according to Puentevella. He also asked the help of the BCPO 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 conferences of APEC. "The number one consideration of APEC Organizing Committee is peace and order. We have to show to them that Bacolod is a safe place and we have the best police security procedure", Puentevella stressed. Aside from CCTV’s, Puentevella bares his plan to purchase 10 additional patrol cars and new traffic lights as he admitted that most traffic lights are not functioning. He directed OIC City PNP Director P/Sr. Supt. Larry Decena to deploy uniformed personnel during night time to conduct police visibility patrol and checkpoints.* (CMO-PIO) Negros Daily Bulletin
