The Police Regional Office 11 (PRO 11) received high ratings in terms of safety, trust, and respect in the Davao Region in the survey result conducted by the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA).
In the survey, PRO 11 received 90 percent for the respect index, 91 percent for the trust index, and 92 percent for the safety index. The survey involved 18 years old and above as respondents.
PRO 11 posted that the positive survey outcome suggests that residents of the Davao Region have a favorable opinion of PRO 11 and that this also demonstrates their high regard for PRO 11 and their sense of security, which boosts public confidence in the region’s policemen.
“Ibig sabihin most of our people here in Davao Region ay nag-take regard na most respectful ang atong kapulisan, trusted, at they feel very safe in Davao Region. I think it shows the kind of public safety situation in Davao Region where the people feel very safe dahil pinagkatiwalaan at nirespeto ang ating kapulisan,” said Major Eudisan Gultiano, spokesperson of PRO 11, during the AFP PNP Press Corps media briefing on Wednesday at The Royal Mandaya Hotel.
Gultiano said the ratings speak for the situation in Davao Region which is very peaceful and safe.
She also said PRO 11 is doing its best to maintain high ratings and peace and order in the region by continuously conducting operations like the Simultaneous Anti-Criminality Law Enforcement Operations (SACLEO).
“Ang challenge is how to maintain and not only maintain but increase the trust ratings. We are always reminding our police officers as to yung treatment sa public. Nakita namin doon sa survey na kung may respect ang tao sa pulis, it follows din yung trust nila sa ating personnel. That is why we are always reminding our people as to the way they treat the public in implementing the law,” she said.
Meantime, PRO Regional Director PBGen. Benjamin Silo thanked MinDA and Secretary Maria Belen Acosta for the initiative in taking the said survey and promised that PRO 11 will continue to serve and protect the people.
