By: PO3 Zena Menioria Panaligan

Camp Rafael C. Rodriguez, Libertad, Butu-an City -- 58 new police officers took their oath on the fateful day of December 3,

2012 after they hurdled the thorough perusal and screening set by Police Regional Office 13 for the 2nd semester 2012 Attrition Recruitment Program.The OIC Regional Chief for Directorial Staff, PSSUPT PEDRO U. OBALDO, JR welcomed the guests and families at 10:00AM. The presentation and read-ing of orders was done by

PSUPT ROMALDO G. BAY-TING, OIC, regional person-nel and human resource development division.

The new recuits would cope up the police to popu-lation ratio as they fill up the

vacancies of police strength due to retirement, death, drop from rolls, separation, dismissal and resignation of police personnel.

On his speech, PCSUPT CARMELO E. VALMORIA ex-tended his heartfelt congrat-ulation to the new police of-ficers and further challenged them to commit with higher degree of integrity and con-duct to deliver quality police services.

“You now officially belong to the special breed of men and women in the Philip-pine National Police. To be

fully equipped with skills and knowledge needed in an ef-fective and efficient policing system, you have to undergo trainings,” top official said.

Police recruits shall un-dergo major transformation from “simple civilians to fin-est uniformed personnel” through surviving physical tests, firm protocol and pro-cedures, and stern stand-ards of discipline.

After the ceremony, re-cruits were transported to Regional Training School 13, Brgy. Lipata, Surigao City, Surigao del Norte.

2 Camp Rafael C. Rodriguez, Libertad, Butuan City December 3 - 7, 2012Police intelligence is a critical part of police operations. When its procedures are properly applied, it allows

the agents of law enforcement to effectively interpret the criminal environment and forecast criminal actions. Perhaps others may wonder why the PNP has to initiate or shall get involve in seminars and trainings.

Learning does not only take place within the four corners of our respective offices or units. As time goes by, plenty of innovations and advance-

ments are needed to be im-parted to the police officers.

This basic course is de-signed purposely to raise the level of our competencies and upgrade our intelligence op-erational capability. Moreo-ver, this is also essential in interpreting and analyzing information relevant to the politico-military and socio-economic activities of the CTs and of the lawless elements.

It might be an exhilarat-ing experience as you looked at the facts, and purged your-self from all preconceptions to make an objective judgment.

But nevertheless, I could say, you have accomplished a job-well done.

Hence, I would like to ex-tend my heartfelt gratitude to all who took part in this pur-poseful activity:

To the members of train-ing staff, for guiding our po-lice officers in comprehending and in carrying out the appro-priate mechanics and proce-dures in the discharge of their intelligence functions; and

To the participants, who have extended their time and effort in the name of pub-lic service. I believe you are

now armed with knowledge and expertise. As future intel operatives, you are now in a better position to contribute to higher crime solution ef-ficiency. You can now adhere to an incisive, practical and theoretical study of a dynamic process that responds to and predicts emerging criminal trends.

As I end, I encourage eve-ryone to enjoy your moments in public service. It is one of the most challenging but re-markable times in your life.

Congratulations! God bless us all!
