ZAMBOANGA CITY -- Six units of the Police Regional Office-9 (PRO-9) have been conferred proficient status under the Performance Governance System (PGS) of the Philippine National Police.

Brig. Gen. Froilan Quidilla, PRO-9 director, said Tuesday that the Regional Mobile Forces Battalion-9 (RMFB9) and Zamboanga del Sur Provincial Police Office (ZSPPO) got the “Gold Eagle Award” after garnering an over-all rating of 96.14 percent and 95.04 percent, respectively.

Quidilla said Isabela City Police Station, which got 94.61 percent, Zamboanga City Police Office with 94.35 percent, Zamboanga Sibugay Police Provincial Office with 92.84 percent and the Zamboanga del Norte Provincial Police Office with 90.26 percent, all bagged the “Silver Eagle Award”, respectively.

Leading the conferment rites Monday were Lt. Gen. Camilo Pancratius Cascolan, chief of the directorial staff of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and chairman, Technical Working Group on PNP PATROL Plan 2030; Brig. Gen. Noel Baraceros, director of PNP Center for Police Strategy Management (CPSM); Pedro Rufo Soliven, chairman of Regional Advisory Council-9, and members of the PRO-9 Command Group.

Cascolan has expressed appreciation to the Regional Advisory Council of PRO-9 for their "continuous support and contribution to the police through the years."

PGS is part of the PNP Peace and Order Agenda for Transformation and Upholding of the Rule-Of-Law (PNP- P.A.T.R.O.L) Plan 2030. It has four stages: initiation, compliance, proficiency and institutionalization, which aim to improve the quality of police services to the community, strengthen the capabilities of law enforcement as well as to develop all PNP personnel’s well-being.

The proficiency evaluation process includes the strategic readiness test, performance audit which were conducted focusing on the alignment of the activities, projects, and initiatives to the strategy.

Meanwhile, Quidilla said PRO-9 is now bracing for the fourth stage and final stage of PGS, which is the institutionalization. He is optimistic that PRO-9 will eventually pass the last stage of PGS with flying colors. (PNA)
