Balingway  led the  oath taking of the new members of  the MAGPTD.

In the consultative  meeting, Balingway presented the PNP P.A.T.R.O.L. Plan 2030, a strategic roadmap  to guide efforts  for the  organization  to be a  a highly capable, effective, and credible police service by the year 2030. It is  focused on upholding the rule of law, ensuring peace and order, and creating a safer environment for people.

Balingway said these goals can be attained with the active  support of the different sectors.

“Isu nga addakayo ditoy ta sikayo ti katulongan mi [That’s why you are here because you are our partners] in making a highly capable, effective and credible police service for our town,” he said.

The MAGPTD  members mostly identified information dissemination for their upcoming activities. They agreed  to undertake  information drive in  barangays which will be called ‘Meymeya’, an indigenous term for convening.
