“We firmly believe in the wisdom of local government autonomy and devolution of power as provided under the Local Government Code. Yet we also look with great optimism at better prospects for public safety and law enforcement under this proposed legislation,” PNP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Bernard Banac said in a statement on Monday.
“The proposed measure also syncs well with modern policing systems aided by technology that factors geographical information and demographics with crime data as bases for deployment of forces,” he added.The bill was filed by Surigao del Norte Second District Rep.
Banac said that limiting the population of each barangay to 15,000 residents will “enable the smallest unit of local government with a uniform standard of governance to enforce local ordinances.”
