New DCPO chief confident of getting job done

DAVAO CITY, Feb. 15 (PIA)—The newly designated director of the Davao City Police Office expressed confidence that he will deliver effective leadership to the police through his vast experiences from being a patrolman in August 1991 to joining the Philippine National Police Academy in 1995 and being assigned in various positions under the police in Davao Region.

Police Colonel Alberto Lupas, director of the DCPO bared that he was once assigned as chief of police of Monkayo and Nabunturan, Davao de Oro, as former commander of the Mobile Company of Davao de Oro and Davao del Sur, as the former provincial director of Davao de Oro and Davao del Sur, before being assigned as chief of the regional investigation detective management division of the PRO XI and was manning international events when they are held in Davao City.

The new DCPO chief said he was personally unknown to Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio.

“Being a resident myself, I know pretty well how to handle the peace and security of the city,” Lupas said.

He said being a police director is a big challenge to his capability to lead the DCPO.

Lupas said it is very seldom for one to be appointed to this post, given that he had other assignments in the past as provincial director.

“The work challenges are almost the same, but since it is a city, the pressure is greater because I will be leading 2,300 personnel, the biggest contingent, in the whole region, with 18 active and two to be reactivated police precincts,” he said.

Lupas bared he has to respond to the orders of the PNP while coordinating with the City Government on how the security situation in the city might be handled.

He pledged to lead his policemen firmly especially in ensuring that security matters need to be implemented.

Lupas said it is not also good for the leader to be angry at all times because of the stress it brings to the relationship and disposition.

He ensured to impose the reward and punishment approach in instilling discipline and to make sure that the right ways are imposed at the DCPO by recognizing worthy cops, and punishment to the scalawags based on the laws of the PNP and the National Police Commission.

Lupas ordered his men to maintain police visibility by ensuring their presence in vital installations and places of convergence.

“Beat patrols and security personnel must be up especially during peak hours, to maintain the peace and order in the different places in Davao City,” he said. (PIA XI-Joey Sem G. Dalumpines)
