Peaceful Start to Classes in Caraga Region
The opening of classes on Monday, June 16, in the Caraga region was marked by a peaceful atmosphere, local authorities reported. The Caraga region class opening witnessed smooth operations with no significant incidents, assuring parents and students alike.
“Thank God that everything is normal and no untoward incident,” emphasized a police official from the regional office. The protection of students remains the top priority as classes resume.
Police Readiness and Safety Measures
To maintain security, police officers have been placed on high alert to deter any criminal activity. The Police Regional Office 13 (PRO-13) has set up Police Assistance Desks (PADs) at key locations to support students, teachers, and parents in the region.
“The safety of our students is our utmost priority, and we want to make sure parents keep their children safe at school,” the official added. The presence of these desks aims to provide immediate help and reassurance to the school community.
Rapid Police Response and Workforce Deployment
PRO-13 enforces a strict 5-minute response rule, requiring officers to address any reported crime within five minutes from the time of the call. This policy reflects the commitment to swift intervention and protection.
To further enhance security, 1,167 police officers and force multipliers have been mobilized across the region. This extensive deployment ensures that schools are guarded effectively against any threats.
Community Cooperation and Vigilance
The regional police director urged the public to report any suspicious behavior near schools. “Your PNP will be able to respond immediately and ensure the safety of students, teachers, and school personnel,” the director said.
Increased Police Visibility to Prevent Crime
PRO-13 plans to boost police visibility within school areas as a proactive measure to deter criminal acts. “This is one of the effective ways to safeguard students and teachers from any untoward incidents and crimes,” local authorities noted.
These ongoing efforts demonstrate the commitment of law enforcement to create a secure learning environment.
