BAGUIO
CITY -- Mayor Mauricio G. Domogan warned personnel of the Baguio City Police
Office to respect residents and tourists who are caught violating laws, rules
and regulations or those who seek assistance from them.
He told BCPO personnel during a recent
gathering of police community oriented police at city hall multipurpose hall
the image projected by the police when dealing with the needs of residents and
visitors gives a lasting impression on how respectful and polite law enforcers
in Baguio are.
He
said this can boost the morale of the police in effectively and efficiently
performing their assigned duties and responsibilities.
“We must continue to show respect to our
residents and visitors because whatever the image we project to our people, it
is what we do to them that will be the lasting impression they will carry,”
Domogan said. “Police should address concerns of residents and visitors with
utmost respect to build respect of people for the police force in general.”
According to him, the mere fact that
visitors will be talking about good experiences with the way they were treated
by the people and the law enforcers in the city will be a big boost in the
direct and indirect promotion of the city as a place to visit.
He said law enforcers are tasked with various
duties and responsibilities but the most important thing they should not forget
is to be respectful whenever they assist residents and visitors seeking their
assistance.
The BCPO and the local government provide
training to frontliners of the city’s tourism industry as effective and
efficient agents in advancing local tourism as this is the major economic
driver of the sustained development in the different parts of the city.
Earlier, the BCPO established a tourist police
unit purposely to serve visitors to the different tourist destinations in the
city year-round by ensuring their safety and security.
The
assigned officers and personnel in the BCPO’s tourist police unit are
continuously provided trainings on dealing with the needs of visitors.
Domogan
said the local government is committed in sustaining financial and technical
assistance to local police force so that officers and personnel will continue
to extend to the city their sincere and dedicated service for the maintenance
of peace and order, an important aspect in improving the state of the city’s
tourism industry.
