Mayor Amante turns over vehicle to local police
By: REY V. POLOYAPOY
BUTUAN City – In an effort to enhance police capability in the campaign against criminality, Mayor Ferdinand M. Amante, Jr. issued another vehicle to the city police office.
In a simple turnover ceremony, Amante turned over city police director Senior Supt. Jose Carillo a slightly-used Toyota Pick-up type vehicle.
“My regular visit to this office means that I have a friendly relationship with the local police,” Amante said
He informed the some 200 lawmen gathered at the BCPO Quadrangle the sad news about the diminution of the city’s internal revenue allotment (IRA) for FY 2012.
“It simply means that Butuan City will be poorer by P120 million next year”, he said.
Amante said that because of the IRA diminution, the plan to increase each policeman’s rice allowance to one sack would be stalled with the amount of P500 every month to remain.
On the other hand, Amante pledged to give a cash bonus to the group of Police Chief Inspector Rowena A. Martinez for the recent arrest of Allan Lagangga, the number six Most Wanted Person in Caraga.
Amante announced his interest to buy an electric car for the use of the Butuan City Police Office in the future.
“Electric cars are very economical to use and maintain. Besides, it’s a one-time investment.
“If we can keep Butuan a low-crime-rate city, investors from neighboring cities which, today are suffering from high-crime incidents, will transfer to us and our people will benefit from it,” Amante said.
For his part, Carillo thanked Amante for city hall’s help in the renovation of the Quality Service Lane, repair of the BCPO building, and support for the Discipline Zone Project.
“Although the Discipline Zone still lacks the necessary road signs for proper implementation, the project is gaining ground in terms of enforcement of ordinances and community support,” Carillo announced. He also informed the local chief executive that the city’s crime rate from January to September, 2011 is very minimal compared to the crime rate for the same period last year. “This was made possible because of the never-ending support that the city government extended to the city police of Butuan. And because of this, I am informing the mayor and everybody for the future launching of other projects under my officership like the E-Blotter, creation of the BCPO Mini-Library, Renovation of the Bachelor’s Quarter, and soon, the groundbreaking ceremony of the future site of the Butuan City Police Office’s headquarters in Doongan,” Carillo ended.
