MANILA – Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Camilo Cascolan on Tuesday tapped all police units in areas affected by Super Typhoon Rolly to clear roads and major thoroughfares of debris and help in relief operations for affected families.

Cascolan said all police units are now in full force in strategic areas as part of the PNP’s proactive and swift response to the aftermath of the disaster.

He said the operations are all set to allow the smooth passage of emergency services, relief operating vehicles, and commercial cargoes.

In a situation report consolidated by the PNP Command Center as of Tuesday, a total of 1,556 police personnel have been deployed in evacuation areas to manage the influx of families affected by the wrath of the typhoon in Regions 10, 5, 4-A, 4-B, 3, 6, 8, 2, Cordillera, and NCR.

He said the police forces are now working through foot and mobile patrolling in coordination with local government units, comprised of 356 personnel in vacated areas and 1,351 cops in evacuated communities in the said regions.
