BACOLOD City – A total of 167 police officers were deployed to 10 police stations here for their five-month Field Training Program (FTP).

Police Lieutenant Colonel Ariel Pico, public information officer of Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO), said the officers had just finished their Public Safety Basic Recruitment Course at the Regional Training School in Barangay Mansilingan for almost a year.

They will now start to undergo FTP. The FTP is like their on-the-job training, Pico added.

The 167 police officers were part of the augmentation of the city police force from Police Regional Office (PRO)-6.

 

“The order on the number of personnel distributed in each police station here came from the regional headquarters,” he said.

 

He also said that there were also police officers who were deployed to Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office (Nocppo) to undergo the same training.
