The province has become the first local government unit in Eastern Visayas to distribute body cameras to police offices.
The distribution of body cameras to the law enforcers is a
priority project of the Provincial Drug Abuse Council.
Leyte Governor Leopoldo Dominico Petilla and Leyte Provincial
Police Chief, Senior Supt. Norberto Tuazon, handed over the equipment on
Thursday to the 41 town police chiefs.
“We want to erase doubts against our policemen during the conduct
of police operations. Recordings from the body cameras will be used as evidence
to show what really transpired during police operations,” Petilla said.
The governor said more cameras will be provided to 41 town police
stations in the future.
Leyte policemen conducted 41 operations leading to the arrest of
46 personalities from December 2017 to March 2018. Operatives also confiscated
more than 25.88 grams of shabu in the past four months.
No one was killed during these police operations. (RTA/PNA)
