RPOC-XI assures all-out support to JPSCC

DAVAO DEL NORTE, Oct. 15 – The Regional Peace and Order Council (RPOC)-XI fully supports the creation of a Joint Peace and Security Coordinating Center (JPSCC) of both the military and the police in the Davao region.

In a recent meeting, RPOC-XI Chair Governor Rodolfo del Rosario assured the top brass of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) the council welcomes the JPSCC, which intends to unify all the efforts of the military and the police in addressing peace and security, as well as, disaster response concerns in Eastern Mindanao.

He said the document is highly called for, especially with the volatile peace and order situation in Mindanao today.

The joint efforts of the military and the police, according to him, are crucial in securing the initiatives of the local government units in localizing the peace process, through the provision of sustained welfare program to critical communities.

AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Emmanuel Bautista, EastMinCom Commander MGen. Ricardo Rainier Cruz III, PNP Chief Police Dir. Gen. Alan Purisima and DIPO-EM Dir. PCSupt. Manuel Barcena signed last Wednesday three joint letter directives that formed the JPSCC.

PNP-PIO Chief PSSupt. Reuben Theodore Sindac said the JPSCC would facilitate the enhancement of capability and inter-operability of military and police units to ensure that “local stakeholders attain a safer place to live, work and do business,” among others. (Noel  Baguio, PIO Davao del Norte)
