As of today, Collado said he had assigned some deputy chiefs in these police stations to be able to man the personnel and continue the operations and regular duties.

“Kulang po tayo ng mga officers dahil yung iba nagschooling. Pero ginagawa natin is binabalance lang natin tung police doon sa needs sa area… Hinihintay nalang po natin yung mga karagdagan na officers na maibibigay sa amin, kasi may mag gagraduate nadin po sa schooling so malalaman nalang po natin siguro within this week kung malalagyan natin yan, pero sa ngayon po under manageable situation pa naman,” said Collado.

(We lack officers right now because some of them went schooling. But we are doing our best to balance the police needs in the area…We are just waiting for more officers that will be given to us because there are other police officers who have already graduated from their schooling. So we learned about this that this will be done within the week but for now we are under a manageable situation.)

Collado said that some policemen of the police stations and offices of CPPO were assigned to take up double tasks while waiting for policemen that would replace the vacated positions.

Collado assured that despite their current situation, they were able to properly balance their tasks as mostly it was more of supervisory tasks to be able to continue the work in the area./dbs
