Units from the National Capital Region Police Office will undertake more simulation exercises as part of the police organization’s incident preparedness training, a ranking official said on Wednesday.
Quezon City Police District director, Chief Supt. Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar, said that the simulation exercises will be helpful in improving police reactions to different emergency situations.
“Well, ang purpose ng ating simex is para makita yung kaunting pagkukulang para maimprove. If you can remember a few months back nagkaroon tayo ng simex pero hindi ganitong scenario. During that time meron lang reported na naiwan na isang bagay na probably explosive so controlled detonated sya pero this time mas marami tayong mga scenario even the actual explosion so yun ang gusto natin makita.”
(The purpose of our simex is to see the small gaps to improve our reactions. If you can remember a few months back, we had our simex but not this scenario. During that time there was a reported thing, probably explosive, so we had to controlled detonated it. But this time, we have a lot of scenarios even actual explosion. That’s what we want to see,)” Eleazar said.
A simulated bomb attack and a simulated bus hostage taking was undertaken by the QCPD at the Araneta Bus Terminal Wednesday which was attended by incoming Philippine National Police chief Director Oscar Albayalde.
