The school visitation was a program of the police community relations division in implementing “Project “Implan Liwliwid iska iskwilaan” or “Cops in the school.”

The program involves giving lectures to students on peace and order.

Under the program, students are dispatched to different schools and streets in Bontoc to assist school children in going to or coming from the school when crossing streets or riding a vehicle.

This is also to ensure children from cutting classes and prevent them from going to recreation centers like billiards, computer shops and similar establishments while classes are going on.
