Bacolod City police director Senior Supt. Pedro Merced yesterday said he expected that Precinct 2 will top this quarter's performance evaluation for its active performance in solving crime incidents in its area for the last two months, however, it got the lowest score in the HRDD.

Precinct 8 performed well in police operations and investigation, Merced said, adding that the reshuffling of personnel which he implemented earlier has affected the police performance. He said the results of the performance evaluation will be forwarded to the Philippine Regional Office 6.*DMG
