TACLOBAN City, Dec. 29 (PNA) -– The city police
here is stepping up security measures to ensure peaceful and safety New Year
celebration in the regional capital.
Between Dec. 28 to 31, the primary concern of the
local police is to prevent crimes especially in crowded places, traffic
control, and prohibition of illegal firecrackers ignition during revelries.
City police office spokesperson Sr. Insp. Jessica
Ortega said more cops will be deployed at assistant hubs within commercial
district.
“This is to prevent would be thieves, robbers, and
snatchers from realizing their criminal intention to the public, thus
maintaining peace and order in the city.
Ortega said that policemen in administrative duty
will be assigned in downtown area to enhance police visibility and monitor
compliance with the use of firecrackers.
Banned pyrotechnic devices such as watusi, Goodbye
Philippines, five star, super lolo, and unlabeled products with deep explosive
ingredients are not allowed for selling to avoid ignitions of firecrackers near
establishments, residential areas, and public places, creating disturbance and
trigger fire blaze.
“Policemen have been directed to conduct mobile
information operation to inspect seller, retailer, and dealers selling such
products and be confiscated. Penalties of the said violation will be faced,”
Ortega said.
The mobile operation has also entailed licensed gun
owners to resist from illegal discharge of firearms in their area and reminded
them of possible criminal charges relative to unlawful act and “celebrating New
Year with a handcuff.” (PNA)
