Pangasinan police deploy 2,400 personnel in polling centers
The Pangasinan Police Provincial Office (PPO) has deployed 2,408 personnel to polling centers for the upcoming May 12 midterm elections.
This deployment ensures a ratio of two police personnel per polling center.
The deployed personnel are part of the PPO's 3,509 total personnel and began their assignment following the dispatch of automated counting machines (ACMs) by the Comelec.
Police officers are escorting the ACMs to schools and have been instructed to prioritize the safety and security of voters.
Personnel will be on straight duty with forfeited privileges as a sacrifice to ensure the sanctity of votes.
The PPO is also coordinating with allied units, including the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine Coast Guard, for monitoring, even in remote island villages.
