KALIBO, Aklan – No contraband and bladed weapons were confiscated during the surprise “Oplan Galugad” in Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) Aklan District Jail in Barangay Nalook, Aklan.
The greyhound operations in jail facilities are conducted to search and preempt the entry of illegal drugs, prohibited items, and drug paraphernalia in detention cells.
Currently, BJMP-manned jails housed 138 persons deprived of liberty (PDL) in a male dormitory and seven PDLs in a female dormitory.
Jail Inspector Rolyn Malolos, BJMP Aklan District Jail Warden, said 28 PDLs were randomly selected for the drug testing. They yielded negative results for prohibitive drugs.
Personnel of Aklan Police Provincial Office and Kalibo municipal police station and representatives of Barangay Nalook council hatched the “Oplan Galugad” on March 17 in cooperation with BJMP officers.
A K-9 unit of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency also helped in searching the contraband in two jail dormitories./PN
