DAVAO CITY Oct. 24- The Davao City Police Office (DCPO) is bracing up its personnel deployment during the conduct of the barangay elections this October 28.
According to DCPO Community Relations Branch head Police Chief Inspector Vianney Ross Lagundi a total of 1,167 policemen and military personnel will be deployed around 266 polling places in the city. Of the deployed personnel 655 are DCPO personnel while 515 will come from the Armed Forces.
Lagundi said there are 12 areas of concern in Davao City and these are located in Marilog, Paquibato and Baguio districts. At least one barangay in Davao City’s poblacion is an area of concern- Barangay 23-C.
He added that the poblacion barangay in an area known as mini-forest has been added as AOC because of intense political rivalry.
Also as the barangay election nears, DCPO will be receiving 22 brand-new police vehicles and 20 new 125cc motorcycles which will be turned over tomorrow (Oct. 25). The additional mobile assets was given by the City Government of Davao.
After barangay elections the DCPO will also be focusing on Oplan Kaluluwa from October 30 to November 3. About 1,729 policemen will be deployed among the cemeteries in the city during all souls’ and all saints’ day.
Lagundi said because of the huge area to cover there will be more personnel which will be deployed during Oplan Kaluluwa as compared to the barangay elections. (PIA/RG Alama)
