Laoag City—Smooth flow of traffic marked the opening of schoolyear 2019-20 in this city,

Laoag police chief Lt. Col. Mar Louise Bundoc made the announcement, saying that this happened with the help of an augmentation force from the police provincial office, force multipliers and the city traffic division, as well.

He added that all 10 Police Assistance Centers (PACs) in the city had their own augmentation force helping them man their respective areas 24 hours.

Newly detailed Maj. Adriano Licudan also announced that he closely monitored all the members of the traffic division.

His monitoring included the strict implementation of the city’s traffic rules and regulations, specifically mentioning Rizal Street which they strictly restricted parking on both sides of the street.

They also prohibited traffic aides from smoking while on duty.

Anti-illegal drugs operation
Before the last schoolyear ended, the city police confirmed that there are illegal drugs operations within the school premises.

Mr. Bundoc said that they based the report on the apprehension of an out-of-school youth thru a buy-bust operation.

Mr. Bundoc then instructed his intelligence operatives to monitor all the public secondary schools in the city and to mount buy-bust operations if necessary.

He added that they also need to hold a dialogue with teachers and students as mandated by the police regional and central offices.

Relative to this, the Laoag police recently conducted and coordinated with Caaoacan Fisheries High School head Jerrimie Arietta concerning the reorganization of PNP-KALASAG (Kabataaan Laban Sa Bawal Na Gamot).

The police designed this program for the youth that are directly involved in the campaign and advocacies of President Rodrigo Duterte to suppress the proliferation of illegal drugs.

Mr. Bundoc also coordinated with city DepEd superintendent Joel Lopez regarding the launching of Project Ready (Resistance Education Against Drugs for the Youth).
