Cops living in Taal danger zone to be relocated —PNP chief
PNP chief Police General Archie Francisco Gamboa has ordered the relocation of police personnel living within the Taal Volcano danger zone to safer housing projects.
The PNP Housing Board will facilitate the relocation of affected officers.
This initiative is part of the PNP's morale and welfare policy to assist personnel who were victims of the tragedy.
Data is currently being collected to determine the number of affected policemen and their willingness to relocate within or outside the CALABARZON region.
Some police stations, like the one in San Nicolas, were abandoned due to the volcanic activity.
Despite the relocation efforts, a significant number of PNP personnel remain on the ground to help residents return to their homes following the downgrade of the Taal Volcano alert level to 3.
