PNP to streamline operations of frontline service offices —Gamboa

The Philippine National Police is implementing new measures to streamline operations of regulatory units and offices that provide frontline administrative services to cope with the heavy demand of securing police requirements at the National Headquarters.

Under the supervision of Police LtGen Camilo Cascolan, PNP Deputy Chief for Administration, the Administrative Support to COVID-19 Operations Task Force (ASCOTF) recommended the new measure that aims to restrict the movement of civilians inside camp to minimize spread of COVID-19.

PNP Chief, Police General Archie Gamboa directed the PNP Headquarters Support Service (PNP-HSS) to strictly observe the rules and regulations under streamlined operations  to protect the camp from further human to human transmission and resurgence of COVID-19 cases beginning Monday, August 3, 2020.

“We see that there’s a need to adopt more measures and protocols designed to extensively reduce if not eliminate person-to-person transactions inside Camp Crame, particularly among the many PNP frontliner services to contain  COVID-19 resurgence inside Camp Crame,” Gamboa said.

Under the new system, the PNP-HSS led by its director, PBGen Alexander Sampaga released an advisory that “All frontline servicing units/offices shall follow the reduced maximum number of clients policy and a color-coded queue card which will be used to maintain the allocated maximum transaction per day to 950 clients:

• One Stop Shop for Security Guards License (LSP/SG) OSS - 250
• Firearms and Explosives Office (FEO) OSS - 200
• FEO HERITAGE - 50
• Supervisory Office for Security and Investigation Agencies (SOSIA) - 150
• Permit to Carry Firearms Outside of Residence (PTCFOR) - 50
• Retirement and Benefits Administration Service (PRBS ) - 50
• Public Safety Savings and Loan Association Inc. (PSSLAI) Crame Branch  - 100
• Armed Forces of the Philippines Savings and Loan Association, Inc. (AFPSLAI) Crame Branch - 100

Total projected number of clients daily is 950.

“Even under General Community Quarantine (GCQ) , the frontline servicing units of the National Headquarters are always on track to serve our thousands of clients that needs police requirements for their employment, license, and others,” the PNP Chief said.

Meanwhile, Sampaga reiterated that curfew hours inside the National Headquarters will be still implemented from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. as part of the preventive measures against the contagion.

All Camp Crame-based office and units are encouraged to conduct disinfection and decontamination of their offices. This initiative can be requested at the HSS for scheduling. (PNP-PIO) —LBG, GMA News
