For the month of September, NOCPPO garnered 93.14 converted total rating to place No. 1 among the eight units evaluated for both operational and administrative performance.
Colonel Romy Palgue, police provincial director, cited the hard work of police personnel assigned at the headquarters and in all police stations across the province.
He also acknowledged the support of the provincial government and the local government units (LGUs) in Negros Occidental to the police force.
