Eleazar: Only 115 DCPs authorized to check cargo vehicles

Police Lieutenant General Guillermo Eleazar clarified that only 115 dedicated control points (DCPs) nationwide are authorized to inspect cargo vehicles during the Luzon enhanced community quarantine.

These DCPs, manned by the PNP Highway Patrol Group, are set up in strategic locations at provincial borders and ensure unhampered movement of cargo vehicles carrying food and basic necessities.

Eleazar also mentioned that 107 DCPs have already been established nationwide with 44 in Luzon, 26 in Visayas, and 37 in Mindanao, manned by a total of 563 HPG personnel.

At least 3,593 quarantine control points (QCPs) are also set up nationwide but these inspect non-cargo vehicles.
