Capitol and city hall officials want Camp Crame to address the manpower and mobility incapacities of the police in Bohol, especially in Tagbilaran City, as Boholanos get impatient with how the present litany of killings and armed robberies confront the lawmen and exposes their failures.

The Sangguniang Panlalawigan and Sangguniang Panlungsod asked in separate resolutions Philippine National Police (PNP) Director-General Oscar Calderon to field additional policemen and vehicles in the province and its capital even without immediate compliance with the ideal police-population ratio.

Unsolved crimes include robberies and the murder of a resort marketing executive and events director while another in the near rape of a hotel front desk lady.
          
The lack of patrolmen and mobility units, including motorcycles, in the Tagbilaran City Police Office (TCPO) have slowed down police response to crank calls and alarms.

The police should as well have sufficient intelligence fund to effectively pump up campaign against series of crimes.

A lone armed man robbed and injured a lady dentist inside her clinic located a block from the city police station on Monday, followed by a heist victimizing an Italian and his Boholana wife in barangay Ubujan.

Bohol's population now reaches 1,252,282, based on recent statistics, which suggests that there should be at least 1,252 active police officers province-wide.
