Angeles City Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. on January 10 met with the officials of Angeles City Police Office, led by City Director PCol. Amado Mendoza Jr., to instruct them to strengthen police visibility in the city’s streets.

Secretary to the Mayor Raffy Lazatin Angeles, Angeles City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officer Rudy Simeon, and PEMS Dong Mendiola joined Mayor Pogi during the meeting.

“Nais po natin na mas mapanatili yung 24/7 na pagroronda ng mga kapulisan natin nang sa gayon ay hindi maengganyo ang pananalisi ng masasamang gawain,” Mayor Lazatin said.

This initiative of Mayor Lazatin is to ensure crime prevention, deploying the full force of the police along the streets especially in blindspots.

In addition, the city government has allotted a budget for the weekly gas allowance intended for the 24/7 police presence.

The city has maintained a low crime rate since Mayor Lazatin took office, saying he wants to keep it that way.

“This effort of ensuring police visibility throughout the city will double our guard in safety and security,” Lazatin said.
