CAMP BGEN OSCAR M FLORENDO, San Fernando City, La Union, March 1 (PIA) -- The Police force here conducted a three-day seminar-workshop on the Philippine National Police (PNP) PATROL Plan 2030 on February 22 to 24. This is part of its efforts to attain a highly capable, effective and credible police service in 2030.

The PNP PATROL or Peace and Order Agenda for Transformation and Upholding of the Rule of Law) Plan 2030 seminar-workshop is a necessary tool for all the PRO1 officers and personnel to identify and align their operational activities to the PNP Integrated Transformation Program (ITP) using the Performance Governance System (PGS), said Police Chief Superintendent Franklin Jesus B. Bucayu.

The ITP, Bucayu said, is the over-all strategy for positive change in the PNP, while the PGS is the tool in measuring how effective we are in the implementation of the strategy.

“This activity focuses on the formulation of the Scorecard for the PRO1, and the four Police Provincial Offices of Region 1 based on the National Headquarters Scorecard.

This will later be cascaded down to all PRO1 police stations and units, to help them formulate their own scorecards, Bucayu said.

The activity was facilitated by the Center for Police Strategy Management (CPSM), particularly the PNP PATROL Plan Cascading Team and Technical Working Group from the PNP National Headquarters in Camp Crame, headed by Police Chief Superintendent Rex Milton Dolino.

The plan which is in support to the President’s Philippine Development Plan particularly on developing human resources through improved social services and protection was joined in by the PRO1 Command Group, the Directorial Staff, Provincial Directors with their selected staff, the chiefs of police of the City of san Fernando and 19 municipal police stations of La Union and other key PRO1 officers.

Representative Leopoldo N. Bataoil of the 2^nd District of Pangasinan, a member of the PNP PATROL Plan 2030 National Advisory Group and Police Director Rey L. Lañada, Director of the PNP Directorate for Human Resource and Doctrine Development, who represented the Chief PNP, graced the closing ceremony of the seminar-workshop as Special Guest and Guest of Honor and Speaker, respectively.

The event culminated in a candle-lighting ceremony and Pledge of Commitment to the PNP PATROL Plan 2030 by the participants, and symbolic placing of “WE SUPPORT THE PNP PATROL Plan 2030” stickers on PRO1 Mobile Patrol Cars. (ANL/MPA-PIA 1 La Union with reports from PSupt. Romero-PRO1)
