CALASIAO
– Just barely warming his seat, the new chief of police (COP) here bared his
different plans and programs that had eclipsed his predecessor’s accomplishment.
Superintendent
Charles Umayam said that in his 12 days as the top cop here he already visited
733 households for consultations and Tokhang or knock and appeal to avoid
narcotics use in the 12 villages here compared to the 398 households in the
five villages visited by the previous COP.
Umayam
said upon assumption in office last October 6 he immediately formulated his
plans and programs in this burgeoning town that were buttressed by catchy
phrases and acronyms like Project P.N.P or Pawis Ng Pagbabago, Spiritual
Counseling, Livelihood Programs, U.S.B or Ugnayan sa Barangay, Clustered
Barangay Dialogues, and the creation of S.W.A.T Team.
The
new chief, a graduate of the Philippine National Academy’s Class of 2000, said
that P.N.P has a zumba activity which serves as one of the reformatory physical
activities intended for surrenderers and other constituents here every Saturday
at seven in the morning. He explained that this endeavor will form part of the
Philippine National Police’s station weekly monitoring system for the
surrenderers.
“Spiritual
counseling of all surrenderers as part of their reformatory process and
continues monitoring to nurture their spiritual aspects and preempt them on
turning back in the usage of illegal drugs. The activity will be conducted
every other Saturday of the month after the zumba, boodle fight and counseling
by batch intended for surrenderers only with the assistance of the pastors from
Calasiao Ministerial Association (CMA) in front of Calasiao Police Station
Building,” he stressed.
Umayam
cited that livelihood programs in partnership with the municipal executive body
on the reformative and rehabilitation programs would make the drug surrenderers
undergo training for livelihood to be conducted by Technical Education and
Skills Development Authority (TESDA) like welding, massage, automotive,
and cellphone technician which will be sponsored by the local government unit
for them to meet their family needs.
“Ugnayan
sa Barangay is a regular schedule dialogues with the barangay constituents and
other local municipal officials for an intensified tokhang, conduct lectures on
anti-criminality campaign and bringing the police force into the heart of the
community”.
He
explained that the S.W.A.T Team are to act as Quick Response Team on the
current state of Calasiao for urbanization purposes to address anti-bank
robberies, school robberies, and any other anti-criminality operation within
the Area of Responsibility.
“While
Clustered Barangay Dialogues focused on double barrel programs towards barangay
clearing,” he cited.
