THE Philippine National Police (PNP) on Wednesday blessed newly procured equipment under the Capability Enhancement Program (CEP) Fiscal Year 2025 and Congress-Introduced Changes and Adjustments (CICA) FY 2024 at Camp Crame in Quezon City.
PNP chief Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. led the ceremony attended by PNP officials and members of the media.
Under CEP FY 2025, the PNP received equipment valued at P244,710,956, including 800 sets of CDM Equipment, 3,711 units of All Purpose Waistcoat Vest, 600 sets of Non-Lethal Equipment, and 403 units of Autogated Night Vision Device (Monocular).
CICA FY 2024 contributed additional assets worth P262,285,700, comprising 117 units of Personnel Carrier 4x4 and 71 units of Light Motorcycles. These acquisitions aim to enhance the mobility, protection and operational readiness of PNP personnel.
Nartatez said these new assets will strengthen the operational capability of PNP units, particularly the Tourist Police Units, enhancing crime-prevention efforts and overall police visibility in key areas.
“This will enhance the capability of our police units to prevent focus crimes in their respective areas,” he said.
"We will immediately use the equipment this Holy Week and other activities to ensure public safety," Nartatez said.
