Laguna Governor Sol Aragones said the true frontline of police work is in the streets and communities, not inside police stations.
Aragones stressed the need for stronger police visibility in barangays, farmlands, roads, and remote areas to deter crime and reassure the public.
She said a strong community presence sends a clear message that criminal activity has no place in the province and allows faster response times.
Laguna police director Col. Jonar Yupio said the Philippine National Police in the province fully supports the directive and will intensify foot patrols and community engagement.
The provincial government expressed confidence that continued cooperation between local authorities and the police will lead to a safer and more progressive Laguna.
