Under this status, PNP units are available 100 percent for immediate deployment should they be required immediately.

Dela Rosa added that the “Reserve Standby Security Force” at the PNP headquarters in Camp Crame, Quezon City is now activated to augment police personnel deployed for ASEAN security duties.
