PD mulls
reshuffling of police chiefs

A reshuffling of police station commanders in Oriental Negros is now being mulled, Senior Supt. Melvin Ramon, Philippine National Police provincial director, said.

Ramon said this was after he made rounds of police stations, and saw the need for reassignments of chiefs of police, to improve the delivery of services to Negrenses.

Buenafe said even he himself has no deputy to take over every time he is out of the province. He said the transfer some officers would not mean disrupting the programs initiated by their predecessors.

Rapes cases in NegOr
down in 2005, WCCD says

Rape cases in Oriental Negros drastically went down in 2005, a report said from the provincial Women and Children's Concerns Desk of the Philippine National Police at Camp Fernandez, Agan-an, Sibulan town, Oriental Negros showed.

Sr. Inspector Rosalinda Abellon, heads of the Police Community Relations office in Camp Fernandez, said the decline was due to massive advocacy on the provisions of the new law which penalizes violence against women and children, or Republic Act 9262. Last year, only 57 rape cases were reported, 49 against children and 8 against adults.

Of the 49 rape incidents against minors, 9 were incest rape, records showed.
