Makati seeks PNP assistance
Distressed over the apparent helplessness of the police over the rising trend of petty crimes in the city, the Makati city government has asked Philippine National Police (PNP) to deploy additional police to augment the “grossly inadequate” city police force.
Makati City Mayor Jejomar Erwin S. Binay, in a letter to PNP Director General Alan J. Purisima, disclosed that for the past few months, his office has been receiving reports and complaints directly from residents, workers and other stakeholders in Makati about rampant criminality, particularly holdup and bag-snatching incidents which happen even in broad daylight.
“Coming from the police chief himself, this statement should be taken seriously,” Binay said.
“It is apparent that the current size of our police force is grossly inadequate to provide security and protection for a highly urbanized city like Makati,” Binay said.
