100 Luzon cops to serve as poll officers in BARMM
Up to 100 police officers from Central Luzon have completed specialized training to serve as poll officers in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) parliamentary elections in October.
This deployment is a contingency measure in case public school teachers are unavailable to serve due to security risks.
The training covered election laws, procedures, and the operation of vote-counting machines, led by Commission on Elections (Comelec) resource speakers.
Practical, scenario-based exercises were conducted to simulate actual voting day situations and enhance readiness.
Central Luzon police director Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo emphasized the importance of training police officers to be neutral, competent, and dependable electoral board members.
This initiative aims to support Comelec in ensuring a smooth, transparent, and orderly election process, especially in areas facing security risks.
