CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebuanos, especially those in Cebu City, will now have more venues to get their police clearance with the opening of new National Police Clearance Office (NPCO) at the Mabolo Police Station in Cebu City. 

Police Major Romeo Caacoy Jr., chief of Mabolo Police Station, said that the new office would benefit the public particularly those, who would want to get their police clearance, because they would not have to wait long to get the document.

This is because the new office will be streamlining the process of obtaining the police clearance.

New computers, printers, equipment

Caacoy siad that the office was equipped with computers, printers, and equipment that would help police deliver their services more efficiently to the public. 

The shortened processing time is expected to benefit the members of the public and to make the police service system more organized with the help of technology.  

“Para ni makatabang ta sa atoang police station pagpanindot, pagpapadala sa atoang serbisyo ngadto sa katawhan dili lang sa area sa Station 4, kung dili sa katibok-an sa Cebu City Police Office,” Caacoy said.

(This is so that the police station can help improve, and deliver our services to the public not only in Station 4 but also to the whole Cebu City Police Office.)

He said that the NCPO was successfully built with the help of the advisory council of Mabolo Police Station as well as other stakeholders.   

He also expressed his gratitude for the support they received in building the NCPO in the station.
