DUMAGUETE CITY -- Negros Oriental will soon have additional police personnel as the Philippine National Police (PNP) Regional Office (PRO) in Region 7 or Central Visayas is set to deploy next week at least one platoon to the province.
Senior Supt. Edwin Portento, acting PNP provincial director, on Friday said a platoon from the Regional Public Safety Battalion (RPSB-7) will be assigned in Negros Oriental to augment the current police force here.
The PRO-7 Regional Director, Chief Supt. Jose Mario Espino, will turn over RPSB-7 platoon, comprising 25 personnel with one officer, during the regular Monday morning flag-raising activity at the Negros Oriental PNP Provincial Office in Agan-an, Sibulan, on October 2.
During his visit here, Espino will be meeting with the different police chiefs and other unit heads and personnel of the NORPPO, said Portento. A command conference is also set on the same day.
He is also scheduled to lead in the blessing and inauguration of the new police station of Valencia town, about 15-minute drive west of this capital city.
Portento said the assignment of the new police personnel from RPSB-7 has yet to be determined.
The two other RPSB companies previously deployed in Negros Oriental by the defunct PRO-18 (Negros Island Region) are still retained in the province, he added.
This is the first visit of Espino to the NORPPO after the Negros Island Region was dissolved and Negros Oriental was returned to Region 7 while Negros Occidental to Region 6. (PNA)
