National Police rising to the various challenges in the organization had
initiated reforms, improved its capabilities and upgraded its facilities to
better respond to the community it served, a senior police official said in an
interview recently.
Police Supt. Martin M. Gamba, chief regional
police spokesperson here said that in line with this initiative, a new police
station costing millions of pesos was turned over to Rosario Municipal Police
Station, Rosario town in Agusan de Sur on Thursday.
According to Gamba, that the turn over rites of
the P4.6 million pesos, the modern two-storey (with third as a roof top)
building was attended by PCSupt. Keith Ernald Ll. Singian, Deputy Regional
Director for Administration (DRDA) PRO 13, Supt. Ruel Acedre, chief of
Logistics, PSSupt. Alexander J. Sampaga, Provincial Director, Agusan del Sur
Provincial Police Office, top police provincial and municipal officials and

Gamba said that the total cost of the project
amounted to P4,653,075.00 with P3,153,075.00 coming from the national police
headquarters and P1,500,000.00 local government unit counterpart.

are actively operating in the hinterlands of the area are recurrent to most
police stations and remote police and military patrol bases in places such as
