BACOLOD City – The Police Regional Office (PRO)-6 assured the public of transparency and integrity in the implementation of “Oplan Tokhang Reboot” in Western Visayas starting Jan. 22.
Superintendent Gilbert Gorero, spokesman of PRO-6, said on Friday that the police will include barangay officials and faith-based groups in carrying out the “knock and appeal” to encourage drug personalities to surrender.
Gorero said Tokhang Reboot would become PRO-6’s best practice by knocking at the doors of suspected drug personalities, requesting them to surrender and avail of the free drug rehabilitation or intervention and after-care programs of the government.
The surrenderees will be given guidance, making them god-fearing, law-abiding, and productive citizens of this country, he added.
Under Tokhang Reboot, anti-drugs campaign drop boxes will be set up in police stations and barangay halls.
The public can submit names of suspected drug personalities in their area, and the information will be validated by the police.
The police in Western Visayas aim to determine the actual number of pushers and users of illegal drugs and encourage them to cease their illegal drug activity.
Tokhang Reboot also seeks to reintegrate drug surrenderees into the community.
It has six stages: collection and validation of information, coordination, house visitation, processing and documentation, monitoring and evaluation, and reintegration. (PNA)
