Personnel of the Aklan Police Provincial Office (APPO) have been reminded to
refrain from engaging in indiscriminate firing this holiday season.
APPO information officer Nida L. Gregas said that APPO director Sr. Supt. Epifanio Bragais had already announced the muzzle taping of issued firearms to prevent personnel from indiscriminate firing.
The schedule for the sealing of firearm will be disseminated to Philippine National Police (PNP) personnel after announcement and proper guidance from higher headquarters, Bragais added.
"The taping of the muzzle is done to make sure their government-issued firearms were not used indiscriminately for the New Year celebrations. This is also to remind our personnel of the consequences if they engaged in indiscriminate firing," he said.
Bragais said those caught violating or firing their guns in welcoming the New Year would be investigated and face possible criminal and administrative charges for illegal discharge of weapons. - pna
