NCRPO chief, Police Maj. Gen. Edgar Alan Okubo led the opening ceremony of the Revitalized Pulis Sa Barangay (R-PSB) course on Friday at the unit’s Hinirang Multi-Purpose Hall, in Camp Bagong Diwa, Bicutan, Taguig City.
According to NCRPO, the seven-day training would “equip the 240 participants from the five police districts and Regional Mobile Force Battalion of the NCRPO with the knowledge, skills, and values required of a Revitalized-Pulis sa Barangay operative” to help local government units minimize service delivery gaps.
