CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga — In a continuing effort to strengthen police communication and field coordination, the Police Regional Office 3 (PRO3) led by P/Brig. Gen. Ponce Rogelio I Peñones Jr., Acting Regional Director, distributed one Prime Handheld Radio unit to each Provincial Police Office, City Police Office, Regional Mobile Force Battalion 3, and Provincial Mobile Force Company during a ceremonial turnover held at the War Room, Camp Olivas, Friday (July 4).
The initiative aligns with the three core pillars of Chie PNP P/Gen. Nicolas Torre III —specifically, swift and responsive public service, accountability, and modernization — by enhancing operational connectivity and frontline responsiveness throughout Central Luzon.
Peñones underscored the significance of this distribution saying, “This simple yet strategic initiative represents our commitment to a modernized and well-connected police force. With these radios, we enhance our ability to respond swiftly to emergencies, coordinate more effectively on the ground, and maintain accountability in every operation. We are bridging the gap between plans and action — real-time, reliable communication is key to that.”
Peñones also emphasized that equipping ground units with advanced communication tools is a direct response to the call of the Chief PNP for more agile and service- oriented policing.
“Modernization is not just about high-end technology; it’s about ensuring that even our basic tools — like communication — empower our personnel to serve with speed, precision, and integrity,” he added.
The newly distributed handheld radios are expected to boost the daily operations of police units and ensure seamless coordination during critical incidents and public safety operations.
This marks another milestone in PRO3’s thrust to elevate police service delivery in the region, in pursuit of excellence under the “Sa Bagong Pilipinas, ang Gusto ng Pulis, Ligtas Ka” mantra. (UnliNews Online)
