The Malay
PNP has admitted that they don’t have enough police personnel more so that
there will be an influx of tourist in Boracay this summer season.
According
to SPO1 Ben Estuya of the Malay PNP, it would be better if there will be a
force augmentation.
There was
however, a limitation from the Aklan Provincial Police Office (APPO) because of
the same need of police officers in other towns in the province.
Nevertheless,
Estuya said that they can still maximize their police visibility with the help
of force multipliers which includes the Malay Auxiliary Police, Maritime
Command, Philippine Coastguard and the Philippine Army which results to a better
enforcement at the Caticlan Jetty Port.
On the
other hand, if the police to population ratio of 1 is to 500 will be based
upon, they will still be 5 to 6 personnel short.
The Malay
PNP at the moment is waiting the APPO’s mandate, as well as that of the
Regional Office as to when they will send additional police force in Malay.
