ALFONSO, Cavite – A three-day skills and enhancement training kicked off here Thursday for the first batch of 100 members of the Barangay Peacekeeping Action Team (BPAT) of the Las Piñas City police force.
Senior Supt. Marion D. Balonglong, Las Pinas City Police chief, has embarked on a three-day capacity-building and training for the village peacekeepers as they are the frontline force multipliers in the villages.
Balonglong said his representative for the three-day event, Police Senior Insp. Erasto Baccay, would brief the trainees on the course overview, role of the BPAT, relation to the Philippine National Police (PNP), duties and responsibilities and the conduct of the BPAT.
BPAT trainees will also undergo orientation on the Filipino core values and culture. The next batch of trainees will receive similar course lectures and briefings at the Alfonso town training camp.
The BPAT was created as the primary operators to conduct Community-Oriented Policing and Public Safety System pursuant to the authority of the National Peace and Order Council (NPOC) and the PNP, which recognize the BPAT as a force multiplier.
It is composed of organized sectors in the community, such as the tanod (village watchmen), youth, women, transport, elders, and homeowners.
As a PNP force multiplier, the BPAT also supports the public safety project of the local government units, community-based activities and information campaigns. (Rogelio Limpin/PNA) NOVEMBER 2017
