Davao City police office ranks first in PRO-Davao's third-quarter performance rating

The Davao City Police Office (DCPO) placed first among all police provincial offices and other units under the Police Regional Office-Davao Region (PRO-Davao) in the Unit Performance Evaluation Rating (UPER) for the third quarter of 2026, according to SunStar.

The DCPO, led by City Director Police Colonel Peter Bauzon Madria, was given the Medalya ng Kasanayan for its performance during the evaluation period. The award was handed out on November 9 during PRO 11's regular Monday flag-raising ceremony and awarding of personnel at the regional headquarters' parading grounds. Acting Regional Director Police Brigadier General Benigno L. Guzman presided over the ceremony.

Police Station 17 in Baliok was also recognised as the best-performing station among the DCPO's 19 police stations for the same period.

The UPER is the mechanism PRO 11 uses to assess the performance of the police offices and units under it.

In a statement, the DCPO credited its personnel for the result. "These recognitions reflect the collective dedication, discipline, and professionalism of DCPO personnel in delivering effective law enforcement services and ensuring public safety," the office said.

The city police office said the recognition affirmed its commitment to operational excellence and to providing quality police service to Davao City residents. It added that it would keep working to improve its law enforcement operations and maintain public safety in the city.
