The police 911 emergency hotline proved its worth in crime prevention with the arrest last Saturday of an unruly gun holder for alleged indiscriminate firing in Cabanatuan City village.
A police patrol responded to a 911 call and promptly collared the suspect who was disarmed of his government-issued .45 caliber pistol.
In Bocaue, Bulacan, police also nabbed an intoxicated man who threatened to shoot another man with a shotgun.
“These incidents underscore the importance of vigilance and timely police response. By employing enhanced police operations, in line with the Seven Focus Agenda of our acting Philippine National Police chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr., we ensure that lawless elements are swiftly apprehended and the safety of our communities is prioritized. I commend our Cabanatuan and Bocaue police for their professionalism and dedication,” said Region 3 police director Brig. Gen. Rogelio Peñones Jr.
