Aklan PPO Gets Patrol Jeeps

Camp Pastor Martelino, Kalibo, Aklan – The Aklan Provincial Police Office (PPO) recently acquired four (4) additional HI-LUX patrol jeeps. These vehicles will further increase the police mobility and visibility operations against criminality and insurgence in the Aklan province.

The said vehicles are acquired on January 13, 2009 from the Directorate for Logistics at PNP National Headquarters, Camp Crame, Quezon City.

Aklan Provincial Director Senior Superin-tendent Clarence Guinto said, the acquisition was very timely since Kalibo celebrated the world famous Ati-Atihan festival and Aklan PPO is in need of the additional vehicles for a quicker response to call for police assistance and immediate deploy-ment of troops.
These patrol jeeps will be issued to municipal police stations of Lezo, Banga, Ibajay and Makato. Aklan PPO is expected to receive another three (3) additional patrol jeeps intended for three (3) police stations in Madalag, Balete and Libacao this year.

The said vehicles will definitely mark a significant improvement to the capability of police units for more aggressive patrol operations and immediate response to any police assistance in the entire Province of Aklan. (By POI Nida L. Gregas) /MP
