THE Bacolod City Government turned over Monday four brand new patrol cars to the Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) at the BCPO headquarters. The turnover was led by City Mayor Evelio Leonardia, Vice Mayor Jude Thaddeus Sayson, Councilors Bobby Rojas, Al Victor Espino, El Cid Familiaran and Cesar Distrito, and BCPO Director Ricardo De la Paz. The four brand new patrol cars worth P3.6 million were distributed to four police stations including Station 1 led by Police Chief Inspector Adonis Rosales, Station 2 led by Police Senior Inspector Robert Dejucos, Station 4 led by Police Superintendent Leonardo Borromeo and Station 6 led by Police Chief Inspector Noel Polines.

Leonardia said he expects more improvement from the BCPO in terms of response to any crime incidents and continued maintenance of the peace and order in the city. He said if there would be enough budget, they will provide for additional vehicles to the BCPO to be distributed in some police stations. The city mayor also reminded the station commanders to be responsible enough in handling the new patrol cars. De la Paz said the turnover of the four brand new patrol cars is also very timely for the BCPO because of the reported presence of an organized crime group in the city. He said the four brand new patrol cars would be a big help to the BCPO for the immediate response of respective stations in any crime incidents within their area of responsibility. “I believe that we can improve our police visibility and enhance the response time for request on police assistance,” he said. He added that he also ordered the four station commanders to assign a driver to maintain their new patrol car. De la Paz cited that he has now a pending request from the City Government for an additional six patrol cars to the BCPO to be distributed to remaining stations that have dilapidated patrol cars.
