The North Cotabato conflict that started on August 7, 2008 has ushered in new police strategies in combating criminalities and terrorism.
Ramadhan will end by the night of September 30, 2008 (Eid’l Fitr on October 1) and it is expected that renegade commanders of the MILF will resume harassment to civilian villages and guerilla attacks to AFP/PNP detachments. Basing upon intelligence and information, monitored troop movements and consolidation are probably preparatory acts in their attempt to spread the hostilities outside PALMA-P and Maguindanao areas, hence, increase in illegally displaced-persons.
Against an ever more unstable and at the same time unpredictable rogue MILF activities, clear manifestations of which have been the 21 armed skirmishes, occupation of 13 barangays in the 1St Congressional District of the province and subsequent mass evacuation of people for fear of being caught in the armed confrontations, Regional Director PCSUPT FELIZARDO M SERAPIO, Jr ordered for the implementation of a concerted police strategy in anticipation of more activities from the MILF as Ramadhan nears it end.
Concerted police strategy has been a principal concern for the regional police command under the leadership of PCSUPT SERAPIO. Quad defense, deployment and expansion were seen as effective courses of action in security preparedness, prevention, response, and recovery to combat criminalities and terrorism.City and provincial directors and group directors of PNP mobile groups were directed to establish strong point detachments, establish monitoring points, enhance checkpoints and organize rapid deployment of troops.
