Police commanders across the Davao Region, including in Davao City, have been ordered to step up anti-criminality operations and tighten command accountability, according to Mindanao Times.

Police Regional Office (PRO) XI director PBGEN Benigno L. Guzman issued the directive during a regional command conference at Camp Sgt. Quintin M. Merecido on Thursday, Nov. 12. Provincial directors, regional unit heads and Davao City Police Office (DCPO) director PCOL. Peter B. Madria attended the briefing, which centred on aligning local police operations with regional peace and order directives.

Guzman told unit commanders to keep up aggressive crime-suppression campaigns while maintaining unity of command, operational discipline and institutional integrity in all police stations. He also reminded field commanders that strict accountability and professionalism remain central to effective police service, the report said.

After the conference, Madria said the DCPO is committed to aligning its citywide security operations with PRO XI's directives to maintain public order and protect local communities.
