CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga — PRO3 continues to implement focused efforts in support of the Chief PNP, P/Gen. Nicolas D. Torre III’s first leadership pillar — Swift and Responsive Public Service — through strengthened communication systems and enhanced frontline coordination.
Acknowledging how vital real-time communication is to effective policing, PRO3 Director P/Brig. Gen. Ponce Rogelio I. Peñones Jr., has made the distribution of handheld radios across police units in Central Luzon a key priority. This effort goes beyond simply providing equipment—it is about ensuring that officers on the ground are connected, responsive, and ready to act when every second matters.
“We do not just equip our personnel for compliance—we prepare them for real-world response,” said RD Peñones.
He added “Our goal is to make sure every police officer in the field has what they need to respond quickly and effectively because time is critical when public safety is at stake.”
To complement this, RD Peñones has directed the regular conduct of Simulation Exercises (SIMEX) and Communication Exercises (COMEX)—ensuring that personnel are not only equipped but also trained to meet the five-minute response time target of PRO3.
RD PEÑONES JR has been personally leading field visits, assessing deployment strategies, and validating visibility on the ground. His proactive presence underscores his belief that fast service must be paired with leadership that is equally quick to act and quick to respond.
Through these efforts, PRO3 not only upholds but embodies the principle of swift and responsive public service—delivering results that matter to communities, when it matters most. (UnliNews Online)
