Tourism department bares forming of tourist police
By Paolo Sangil 12/07/2010A task force that was formed by the Department of Tourism (DoT) in tie-up with the Philippine National Police (PNP) will start doing its rounds in Rizal Park tomorrow.
The National Parks Development Committee (NPDC) along with the Manila Police District (MPD) spearheaded the forming of the Rizal Park Tourist Security Force (RPTSF). The law enforcers that will be assigned to the task force will come from the Luneta Police Community of Station 5.
“The primary concern of this task force is to strengthen the security measures in Rizal Park especially this Christmas Season,” said NPDC executive director Juliet Villegas.
The task force is comprised of MPD law enforcers, guards from an NPDC-hired security agency, NPDC maintenance and a barangay-effort community auxiliary brigade. There will be around 50 task force members who will be doing rounds in three shifts a day.
Four CCTV cameras are already existing but there will be more unit installations as NPDC is now coordinating with the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO)..... MORE
