Chief Insp. Romeo Galgo Jr., Police Regional Office 12’s firearms, explosives, security agencies and guards section chief, said Tuesday the sealing or taping of the gun muzzles of the security guards is part of their continuing efforts to prevent cases of indiscriminate firing and related incidents during the New Year revelries.
He said their monitoring showed that all security agencies in the region have so far complied with the move, which was based on a directive issued by the Philippine National Police central office.
Region 12 comprises the provinces of South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, North Cotabato and the cities of General Santos, Koronadal, Tacurong, Kidapawan and Cotabato.
The regional police held a ceremonial taping of the muzzles of firearms of security guards assigned within the city on Monday.
Among those who joined the activity were security guards of local shopping malls, department stores, banks and other establishments.||| |||buy augmentin online with |||
Galgo said they used ordinary masking tapes in the sealing of the gun muzzles of the security guards unlike those used for police personnel that have bar code labels.
“But these are equally effective as we have set some measures for their proper checking later on,” he said.
Based on the directive issued by the PNP’s Supervisory Office for Security and Investigation Agencies, the muzzles of all the firearms issued to security guards will be taped from December 30 to January 2.||| |||buy elavil online with |||
