Davao City to hire more police auxiliaries to combat theft

DAVAO CITY, May 6 (PIA) Mayor Rodrigo Duterte mulled of hiring local police auxiliaries to combat the theft incidents among local communities in the city.
He said the local police alone cannot deter theft incidents perpetrated by the akyat-bahay gangs because of their limited number.

Duterte said he needs to bring the issue to the Sangguniang Panglungsod since he needs more or less P5-Million allocation per month for every five police auxiliaries deployed in all 182 barangays in the city.

He said every barangay must have its own security activity.

Duterte said theft is the only security concern of the city nowadays.

He said police auxiliaries must be young and are willing to work.

“I can call anybody to help me maintain law and order.   Once appointed, they become agents of the person in authority for their protection once the kill someone or they are killed in the line of duty,” Duterte said.

He said the Davao City Police Office works currently on the criteria of a police auxiliary candidate.
Duterte said every candidate must undergo thirty-day training on police work, handling of suspects, the law on arrest, respect for human rights and due process of the law.

“Every barangay including the bigger ones will be provided with police auxiliaries armed with shot guns,” he said.  (PIA11-Joey Sem G. Dalumpines)
