Cowboy Patrol Enhances Security in Tanay
To strengthen peace and order in Tanay, Rizal, the local police have introduced the Cowboy Patrol alongside their mobile cars and motorcycles. This new unit features horse-riding policemen who patrol hard-to-reach areas, providing a unique and effective way to maintain safety.
Residents of Barangay Daraitan have recently begun to notice uniformed officers on horseback every weekend. This initiative, led by Lt. Col. Gaylor Pagala of the Tanay Municipal Police Station, started just last weekend and aims to boost security in the community.
Protecting Tourists and Residents Alike
Rizal Police Provincial Office Director Col. Felipe Maraggun explained that the Cowboy Patrol targets tourist spots, especially along the riverbanks in upland villages like Barangay Daraitan. Their visible presence is meant to safeguard both visitors and locals during busy seasons.
Summer draws many tourists to Tanay’s scenic upland villages, where they enjoy mountain views and cool river waters. Consequently, the Cowboy Patrol is a strategic response to ensure a safe environment amid the influx of visitors.
Positive Community Response to Cowboy Patrol
Since its introduction, this horse-riding police unit has been warmly received by the community. Residents appreciate the added security and the unique approach to patrolling difficult terrain. Local leaders noted that this initiative helps build trust and cooperation between the police and the people.
By combining traditional and modern patrol methods, Tanay’s police force is setting a new standard for community safety. The Cowboy Patrol not only secures remote areas but also enhances the overall peace of the municipality.
