PNP prepares general security plan for the 'new normal'
The Philippine National Police (PNP) is developing a comprehensive security plan to address the ongoing threat of COVID-19 under a "new normal" scenario.
This plan will focus on enforcing basic public health protocols for individuals outside their homes and in public spaces.
PNP chief Gen. Archie Francisco Gamboa emphasized that police will remain on the front lines of virus transmission prevention until a cure or vaccine is available.
A PNP study group, led by Lt. Gen. Cesar Hawthorne Binag, has been formed to strategize police operations and administration for the "new normal".
The PNP is preparing to procure more Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for its personnel who will serve as frontliners.
Police forces nationwide will monitor public movement and ensure the implementation of safety measures to curb the virus's spread.
Gamboa stressed the importance of cooperation and mutual support in this critical undertaking, stating that many lives are at stake.
