Laoag City—The police in this city will continue to aggressively implement “Double Barrel”, the enhanced managing of police operations and the anti-illegal drugs campaign plan.

Lt. Col Mar Louise Bundoc, Laoag police chief, made this announcement. Mr. Bundoc took over the city police’s reins on January 3, 2019.

Records show that during his stay, they conducted 14 operations for “double barrel” including “buy-bust” operations from January to May in the different barangays in the city and all the arrested suspect landed in jail.

Relative to this, Mr. Bundoc said Laoag is “generally peaceful” since the start of his stay in the city.

He stressed that his stay in the city is challenging since he came during the election period. He, however, maintained that there were no elections-related incidents from the start of the election period until election day.

The election period officially ends on June 13, 2019.

In a related development, Mr. Bundoc appealed to the city’s residents to be more vigilant, especially since classes have started,

Aside from thefts and robberies, he also warned parents and guardians to watch over their children and wards as drug syndicates use students to sell to other students.

He also asked houses that rent out to students to also be vigilant with their renters. He added that these houses should also install their closed-circuit television system to possibly deter illegal activities in their respective areas.
