The Quezon City Department of Public Order and Safety recently conducted a two-day seminar on traffic management, participated in by close to 30 traffic enforcers and barangay public safety officers.
The traffic management seminar aims to train and qualify personnel on traffic direction and control, including working with the right attitude.
QC Department of Public Order and Safety head Gen. Elmo DG. San Diego has emphasized the need to provide traffic enforcers updated information on traffic management.
Seminar participants have to pass a written examination before getting deputized as traffic enforcers.
Quezon City DPOS has a total of 442 deputized traffic enforcers assigned in six districts of the city.
DPOS Education and Training section head Corazon B. Medes reminded the deputized traffic enforcers on their duty to maintain peace and order.
“Ang number one objective naman talaga namin is to maintain the flow of traffic and to prevent accidents at the area of responsibility at kasunod nito ang pag-issue ng ticket sa mga violators. It doesn’t mean that because they have a booklet or they are deputized, ticket na sila nang ticket. Kailangan mag-render sila ng traffic control para ma-maintain ang batas trapiko sa area kung saan sila naka-assign,” Medes said.
The training is in compliance with City Ordinance 1444-2004, also known as the Traffic Management Code of Quezon City.
