Tagum City Mayor Rey Uy has restored the local government unit’s support for police operations, a week after he had it withheld as an expression of dismay over the sacking of the city police chief without his prior knowledge. | Frinston Lim/PDI
While expressing sympathy to the victims’ families, Uy maintained that the local police under Bernardo were not remiss in their duties of protecting the city’s residents.
Gultiano said the order to relieve Bernardo came following the twin rape-slay cases that occurred in Tagum last month, even as police said these were isolated cases. While local government units have a part in the operation of police stations, Gultiano said the administrative function of assigning officers to different posts is the discretion of the regional police chief.
