Engaging while mounted in tandem

A Two-day training on gun handling was conducted by this office on August 16 and 17, 2014 at the Capitol Compound and at the Zamboanga Del Sur Provincial Government Center. The first part is a lecture on gun safety by SPO1 Alan Zamora and a review on the PNP Operational Procedure by PI Alfon Belloan. The next part is the marksmanship and proficiency firing at the firing range at Zamboanga Del Sur Provincial Government Center at Barangay Dao which was handled by SPO1 Zamora and Councilor Ernesto Mondarte. This training was funded by the LGU through the Peace and Order Council Chaired by Hon. Mayor Romeo Pranza Pulmones supported by the Peace and Order and Public Safety Committee Chairman, Hon. Ernesto Mondarte.

Of the thirty participants, twenty will be selected to initially compose the Pagadian City Motorcycle Mounted Police who will be primarily tasked to patrol the streets and to react to distress calls. This will address the problem perpetuated by motorcycle-riding criminals plying their trade in this city.The project was proposed by the OIC, PSupt. Glenn Macario Dulawan and funded by the LGU. 

Ten motorcycles were initially purchased for the purpose and another ten will be added if more personnel will be downloaded to this station. Portable radio sets will also be issued to the selected personnel for maximum coordination. To sustain its function, Mayor Pulmones promised additional gasoline allocation to keep the motorcycle-riding policemen in the streets.
