Junnie defends crime task force
Bogo City Mayor Celestino “Junnie” Martinez, Jr. defended the creation of a task force whose primary job is to coordinate with and assist the police in going against criminals in the city.
Earlier, there were concerns that the function of the task force may duplicate the city police’s work.
He admitted that while waiting the approval of their request for additional police personnel, they looked for other initiatives and that the creation of the task force is one of them.
The mayor said the members of the task force have been assigned in different parts of the city, especially in areas where big business establishments are located.
Bogo City Police Station chief Arturo Pacifico told The Freeman that they have welcomed the creation of the task force given the lack of personnel under his command.
However, he said the function of the task force is only to coordinate with their office on operations against criminality. — Jose P. Sollano/LPM
