CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga — The Police Regional Office 3 (Central Luzon) has started on Wednesday (July 23) a three-day cyber patrollers training at the Patrol Hall of this police camp.
Brig. Gen. Ponce Rogelio Peñones Jr., acting Central Luzon regional police director, said a total of 20 participants from various police units in the region have participated in the training that aims to develop a dedicated cyber patroller team in the region.
“These trained personnel will focus on cybercrime detection, online threat monitoring, and enhancing overall crime solution efficiency through digital tools and strategies,” RD Peñones said.
Resource speakers from the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO), home to the pioneering Cyber Patroller Team, are leading the training sessions. The initiative is aligned with the NCRPO’s successful model of proactive online patrolling and digital public engagement.
The said team will focus on cybercrime detections, online threat monitoring and enhancing overall crime solution efficiency through digital tools and strategies.
Peñones pointed out that the formation of a cyber patroller team is essential to the region’s crime prevention and solution efforts citing that cybercrime has become more complex and widespread and by “capacitating our personnel with the right skills, we enhance not only our online presence but also our ability to solve crimes faster and more efficiently.”
Participants will undergo intensive sessions on digital evidence handling, cyber patrolling techniques, online investigations, and responsible social media use—ensuring they are fully equipped to address the demands of modern-day policing.
The 3-Day Cyber Patrollers Training marks a major step in PRO3’s modernization efforts and commitment to safeguarding communities—both in the real world and the digital realm. (UnliNews Online)
