“Pagdating
sa layunin natin na makamit ang kaligtasan at economic recovery, napakahalaga
po ng peace and order situation ng isang lugar. Maipo-promote lang po natin ang
safety kung tayo mismo ay pina-practice ito at magkakaroon lang po tayo ng
business o investment activities kapag nasa tama ang sitwasyon ng kapayapaan at
kaayusan sa isang lugar,” explained the City Mayor.
The
City of San Fernando Police Station (CSFPS), according to Lieutenant Colonel
John Clark, chief of police, conducted at least 60 operations where more than
130 individuals were arrested in the campaign against illegal drugs, illegal
gambling, and loose firearms during the last quarter of the year.

Clark
said the city police continue operations including the implementation of
quarantine protocols; information, education, and communication campaign;
establishment of police assistance desks in public places; and, conduct of
foot, mobile, and motorcycle patrols.

recorded 18,625 violations to local ordinances involving 17,720 individuals
(5,483 Fernandinos and 11,877 non-residents) from January to December 2020.
CPOSCO
chief Louie Clemente and Supervising Administrative Officer Joselito Ortaliz,
Jr., in their presentation, noted that most of the violators were caught either
“not wearing helmet,” “disregarding traffic sign,” or “driving without driver’s
license.”

month, 10 barangays of San Fernando have been declared cleared from illegal
drugs trade.
Of
the 25 drug-affected barangays, 23 were identified as “moderately affected”
while two were considered “seriously affected”.
PDEA

illegal drugs were conducted in the city for the year 2020, netting an
estimated street value of at least P9 million.

and a PDEA “Balay Silangan.”
