PRO-6 vows to wipe out criminals, drug personalities

I LOILO City – The newly installed director of the Police Regional Office 6 ( PRO- 6) has vowed to wipe out criminals and drug personalities in the region.

Police Brigadier General Jack Wanky, in a recent command conference with city and provincial police directors and other support units, urged everyone for an honest-to-goodness law enforcement operation, particularly on illegal drugs, aggressively dictated regular checkpoints, strengthened police visibility and beat/ mobile patrol in all places of convergence, and intensified campaign of local ordinances.

He enjoined all police officers to maintain a good relationship and collaboration with the local chief executives, other law enforcement agencies, and the community for a participative and productive environment.

Wanky also wanted to utilize the force multipliers, advocacy groups, and barangay support groups as well as encouraged the installation of CCTV cameras on busy streets, convergence areas, and business and financial institutions as part of preventive measures against criminalities.

The Western Visayas top cop wanted his men to always maintain a standard and sense of responsibility at all times and lead by example to others.

“Working together in a coordinated manner allows PRO- 6, other law enforcement agencies, and stakeholders to have a positive impact in promoting public safety and security for the people of Western Visayas,” Wanky said.

Wanky has also warned his men to stay away from illegal drugs.

“Des pit en aw ala tayong narinig na may mga personnel na involved sa illegal drugs, yet we have to remind them that they will be facing stiff sanctions should they find that they are involved,” he added./
