- DCPO praises security cluster, Davaoeños for peaceful Undas
THE DAVAO City Police Office (DCPO) recorded a zero incidence in the observance of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day this past weekend.
Colonel Mannan C. Muarip, acting city director of DCPO, said they strategically mobilized all personnel and resources to secure cemeteries, transport hubs, major roads, and other areas of convergence where people typically gathered to pay tribute to their departed loved ones.
He said the remarkable achievement reflected the dedication and vigilance of DCPO personnel and the seamless collaboration among all security cluster members.
In Toril Memorial Park, a 20-year-old man was arrested after a packet of suspected marijuana fell from his pocket during a security check around 5:35 p.m. on Nov. 1, in Barangay Lubogan, Toril District.
A member of the police auxiliary noticed his reported suspicious movements, and the illegal substance fell in his haste to escape the security check.
Muarip thanked the Task Force Davao, Public Safety and Security Office, Bureau of Fire Protection, Philippine Coast Guard, City Transport and Traffic Management Office, Central 911, City Explosives and Canine Unit, police auxiliaries, barangay officials, barangay tanods, and the local government unit for their cooperation.
He said their collective efforts, effective intelligence coordination, and on-ground support ensured the smooth, safe, and orderly conduct of this annual observance.
Muarip said the public’s adherence to safety protocols and respect for public order greatly contributed to the success of the operation.
The maturity and civic-mindedness displayed reaffirm the city’s enduring culture of peace and unity. Muarip commended the entire DCPO force and partner agencies for their professionalism and shared commitment.
“This zero-incident report is a collective victory that showcases not only the dedication of our men and women in uniform but also the steadfast cooperation of our partners and the people of Davao,” he added.
