PAC to Kalinga PNP: Stop illegal drug trade

By Peter A. Balocnit

TABUK CITY, Kalinga --Stop the illegal drugs trade and  rid the province  especially of  schools of drug pushers and users.

This was the first directive of  newly organized  Kalinga Provincial Police Office Provincial Advisory Council (PAC)  to law enforcers.

Gov. JocelBaac, speaking as member of PAC, urged the police to heighten their campaign against illegal drugs in response to public clamor particularly from parents that said  prohibited  drugs  have  become a menace affecting  the growth and education of  students.

This was also reiterated during the 3rd regular quarterly meeting of the Provincial Peace and Order Council  meeting where the police were also challenged to cleanse their ranks of alleged coddlers and protectors of illegal drugs.

OIC provincial police director Senior Supt. George Daskeo, promised he will never tolerate police coddlers and protectors under his watch. “As long as I am the provincial director, those allegations of police coddling and protecting criminals will never happen,” he said.
