Police offices, stations and the headquarters of Police Regional Office (PRO) VI started to get on the week-long hustle and bustle to show their administrative and operational activities to members of the AGI-ORSITE team.

Starting yesterday, the AGI-ORSITE (Annual General Inspection – Operational Readiness, Security, Inspection, Test and Evaluation) team from Camp Crame went to the different police provincial and city police offices, to include the 6th Regional Public Safety Battalion and PRO-6 headquarters to assess their over-all performance.

Spearheaded by the PNP Internal Affairs Service (IAS), the AGI-ORSITE is meant to evaluate all police units in the country in terms of their readiness, logistics capability, manpower, and record management.

The activity will also ensure the compliance of police units to standard set forth by the Philippine National Police (PNP).

Particularly, the AGI-ORSITE team will look into the camp security readiness, and capabilities of the local police in search and rescue, crowd dispersal management, and high-risk situation among others.

The team will also hold the personal accounting of personnel, check on records management and status of equipage.

AGI-ORSITE had started months ahead in other police regional offices in the country. After Western Visayas, only one region will undergo evaluation.

Police Director Alexander Roldan heads the AGI-ORSITE team.

According to Chief Supt. Rey Merecido, the activity aimed to know the deficiencies of the police units and individuals and how they could be corrected and improved.

After the AGI-ORSITE, the inspection team will present the results to the officers of PRO6 before they are submitted to the Chief PNP.

They will serve as basis for formulation of policies and programs of action for effective PNP services.

Meanwhile, Chief Supt. Agrimero Cruz, Jr. PRO-6 director, said the findings of the inspection team are important to keep the region’s police force on track.

“Isang malaking hamon ang mapaghandaan ang taunang gawaing ito. Sana maganda ang kalalabasan ng ating sinasagawang paghahanda,” he said.*
