PNP to use NCAP cameras for faster response time
The Philippine National Police (PNP) will leverage the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) cameras, operated by the Manila Development Authority (MMDA), for swift law enforcement responses in Metro Manila.
PNP chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III announced that police officers will be stationed at the MMDA traffic control facility, enabling direct communication and immediate dispatch.
This collaboration aims to eliminate the need to call 911 for incidents observed via CCTV, thereby significantly reducing response times.
A demonstration on Monday resulted in a two-minute response time, one minute faster than the PNP chief's challenge for police presence at crime scenes.
The PNP is currently piloting a five-minute emergency response time in specific Metro Manila areas.
