THE support of the community in combating crime in the Municipality of Bokod has helped maintain peace.
Bokod Municipal Police Station Chief Senior Inspector Vicente Tamid-ay said, "Since the municipality covers 10 Barangays with a population of close to 14,500, it is the members of the Barangay Peace and Order Council who acts as our first responders while informing us of the crimes being committed in their area of responsibility for us to immediately respond".
