THE ZAMBOANGA City Police Office (ZCPO) has been awarded the “Best City Police Office” in Western Mindanao region.
Mayor Beng Climaco lauded the members of the ZCPO led by Colonel Rexmel Reyes and praised them again for their dedication and hard work, especially at this time of the Covid-19 pandemic, for keeping Zamboanga and its residents safe from harm.
Brigadier General Genaro Ylagan awarded the ZCPO during the culmination ceremony of the 26th Police Community Relations Month in July at Camp Colonel Romeo Abendan in Barangay Mercedes. Reyes received the prestigious award.
The ceremony was also attended by lawyer Alexis De Lima, the Officer-in-Charge of the local office of the National Police Commission.
Reyes said the award was the result of strengthened community participation and support, and stronger partnerships in peacekeeping and public safety programs of the police.
He also thanked
Climaco and the public for supporting the peace keeping efforts of the local
police force, and also cited similar support of other government agencies; and
praised policemen for their unselfish dedication in carrying out their duties.
The mayor recently cited the police force and thanked
National Police Chief General Guillermo Eleazar - who was in
Zamboanga City last month - for their exemplary performance in maintaining
peace and order here.
As a response to
the mayor’s praises, Eleazar also thanked the Climaco administration for its
full support to the police – from logistics to infrastructure projects, and
equipment, including weapons and ammunition, safety gears and allowances among
others that greatly helped the police force in achieving its mission.
Just this month,
Climaco commanded the police for confiscating some P11.2 million worth of
smuggled cigarettes being transported separately by two motorboats with 12 crew
members off Barangay Tumalutap.
The confiscation of
the contraband was the result of intensified anti-smuggling operations launched
by the 2nd City Mobile Force Company in coordination with the Bureau of
Customs’ Intelligence and Investigation Service and Enforcement and Security
Service, and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency. (Zamboanga Post)
