Ormoc acquires 6 brand new police vehicles

ORMOC CITY, Leyte, March 30 (PNA) -– To deter the commission of crimes and ensure public safety, the city government here turned over to the Ormoc City Police Office six brand new vehicles.

Mayor Edward Codilla said the local government has spent PHP4.04 million in the procurement, taken from the unappropriated surplus of the mayor’s office expenditures as of end 2014. 

The vehicles consist of two units of patrol jeeps worth PHP1.42 million each and four units multicab worth PHP300,000 each. The vehicles have a modular seating arrangement that have been reconfigured to face outward to provide tactical and quick deployment of police forces.

The vehicles will capacitate the local in performing its duties, facilitate its immediate response to incidents, and enhance its capability to provide services in law enforcement and crime prevention. City police director Ferdinand Garay formally received the vehicles. (PNA)
