DAVAO City Police Office (DCPO) director PCOL Peter Bauzon Madria led a multi-district night patrol sweep on Monday evening, Aug. 31, on high-density communities in six police jurisdictions.
Madria was joined by Traffic Enforcement Unit (TEU) chief PLTCOL Christian Antonio D. Garcia and members of the TEU Advisory Support Group during the coordinated midnight visibility operation.
The joint patrol covered Police Station 4 (Sasa), Police Station 6 (Bunawan), Police Station 13 (Mandug), Police Station 5 (Buhangin), Police Station 18 (Bajada), and Police Station 16 (Maa)
The operation forms part of the DCPO’s expanded night-shift deterrence strategy, aimed at preventing street crimes, monitoring late-night traffic compliance, and ensuring rapid law enforcement response during off-peak hours.
Madria noted that physically inspecting station boundaries and commercial strips allows top officials to assess real-time security postures and adjust tactical deployments as needed.
The DCPO also said that joint patrols, alongside civilian advisory groups, strengthen public vigilance and cooperative policing in local neighborhoods.
“Safety and security are most effective when supported by active citizen involvement,” the DCPO commander said. “This coordinated effort deters potential threats while fostering unity, vigilance, and shared responsibility in maintaining peace and security throughout Davao City.”
