Marcos wants more patrol boats, night vision goggles for border patrols
Senator Bongbong Marcos wants to install educators against illegal drugs in all local government units all over the country. He recommended the appointment of ‘Officers for Substance Abuse’ in all local government units to conduct drug education for students, parents, school officials, and in private and government offices in their respective communities such as what is ongoing in Cebu.
Marcos also said border patrols such as the PNP Maritime Command and the Airport Police will only be effective if these law enforcers are better equipped with more patrol boats, cars, computers and night vision goggles, to boost their capability in going after criminals.
“The drug problem has become one of the main factors in the deterioration of peace and order. It stimulates the perpetuation of crimes,” he said.
He added that ‘Officer for Substance Abuse’ in Cebu has been working in cooperation with the law enforcers to diminish if not eradicate drug users. It would be great if this was replicated nationwide.
“We must also look into the improvement of facilities and services especially in government-supported drug rehab centers,” he added. “Police visibility, or the deployment of additional police forces, particularly in densely populated areas prone to the highest rates of criminality helps along with the strict implementation of the 24-hour manning of all police precincts.”
