The Bacolod City Advisory Council for Police Transformation and Development (CACPTD) is requesting Police Regional Office 6 director Chief Supt. John Bulalacao for additional police personnel for the Bacolod City Police Office.
The CACPTD chaired by Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran was organized as a strategic adviser to BCPO, empowered to infuse independent and external perspectives of policing towards the realization of PNP Peace and Order Agenda for Transformation and Upholding of the Rule of Law (P.A.T.R.O.L.) Plan 3030. The advisory council unanimously approved a resolution requesting for additional police personnel during its meeting on June 26, after being briefed that the BCPO has a total of 643 uniformed personnel comprising 36 police commissioned officers and 607 police non-commissioned officers. The resolution said the population of Bacolod City based on the 2016 census, is about 592,591, while the police to population ratio is projected at one police personnel for every 922 inhabitants. Based on the foregoing data, BCPO is in need of 1,185 uniformed personnel or an additional 542 to meet the prevailing standard of 1:500 police to population ratio. The resolution was signed by Familiaran, CACPTD vice chairperson Judge Montano Medel Jr., and members Ong Beng Ping, Crispin Chua, Jose Manuel Lopez-Vito, Councilor Noli Villarosa, May Bautista, Pastor Enrique Cancino, Eric Magbanua and Bacolod Interior and Local Government director Ma. Joy Maredith Madayag. Meanwhile, Familiaran said he has observed that the crime rate in Bacolod City has dropped because of the presence of policemen in the streets. If there is police visibility, help deter the commission of crimes in the city.*CGS
