“While the use of motorcycles in the Phi­lippines is a popular mode of transportation, motorcycles are also utilized by criminals to easily flee from a crime scene,” pahayag ni Police Chief Gen. Debold Sinas.

MANILA, Philippines — Upang paigtingin ang pagsugpo sa motorcycle-ri­ding hitmen ay inilunsad kahapon ng Philippine National Police (PNP) ang Tactical Motorcycle Riding Units (TMRUs) at “secret marshals on motorcycles.”

“While the use of motorcycles in the Phi­lippines is a popular mode of transportation, motorcycles are also utilized by criminals to easily flee from a crime scene,” pahayag ni Police Chief Gen. Debold Sinas.

“[Motorcycle] provides increased maneuverability to navigate to narrow and crowded alleys, sidewalks, busy streets, and even major thoroughfares,” dagdag ng PNP chief.

Ayon dito na ang units at marshals ay magi­ging suporta ng Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO) na pagtutuunan ang high-priority crimes at magsasagawa ng preventive patrol assignments.

Dahil sa lockdown dala ng pandemya, buma­ba ang krimen sa bansa.

Ngunit sa muling pagbubukas ng ekonomiya, inaasahan din ang pagtaas nito.

Paliwanag ng PNP na ang mga TMRU ay “strategically trained” bilang motorcycle-mounted patrollers na reresponde sa mga insidente.

Habang ang secret marshals ay mga “dedicated covert operatives” na magbabantay sa mga suspek sa riding-in-tandem. - Mer Layson
