NCRPO intensifies security measures in Metro Manila

The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) has issued directives to enhance public safety across Metro Manila through increased patrols and heightened awareness campaigns.

In preparation for Undas (All Saints' Day), district commanders have been encouraged to deploy bicycle patrols in cemeteries. NCRPO Officer-in-Charge Police Brigadier General Christopher Abrahano stated that bike patrols will allow personnel to navigate narrow pathways more effectively than patrol cars, facilitating faster response times and improved mobility in crowded areas.

Additionally, the NCRPO has ordered all units to intensify bomb threat awareness in Metro Manila schools. This directive follows a recent incident at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) in Manila, where a threat led to class disruptions and a shift to remote learning. Brigadier General Abrahano emphasized the importance of coordinated responses, prompt threat assessments, and clear emergency protocols to protect students and staff while minimizing unnecessary disruptions.
