Davao City police chief inspects border checkpoints and urban posts
DCPO director PCOL Peter B. Madria checked troop readiness and discipline at major entry points and key posts in the city.
The head of the Davao City Police Office (DCPO), PCOL Peter B. Madria, carried out a spot inspection of border control points and strategic posts within Davao City on Tuesday, Nov. 10, according to Mindanao Times.
The rounds were meant to review how personnel are deployed on the ground, confirm tactical preparedness at the city's main entry points, and check that officers follow protocol. Madria told frontline personnel to stay fully alert and to observe discipline and professional conduct during routine checks.
Madria said regular field inspections help keep operational standards high and ensure officers stay vigilant "from our outer borders down to the city core." He added that a visible, disciplined police presence discourages security threats and helps build public trust.
According to the report, the inspection is part of the DCPO's wider effort to strengthen the city's multi-layered security setup, which aims to protect residents, visitors and businesses across all entry corridors.
