TF Davao beefs up city’s culture of security

DAVAO CITY- Task Force (TF) Davao Commander Colonel Darren Comia said they are expanding its culture of security campaigns by collaborating with the education sector.

Comia said the move aims to further secure the city’s peace and order situation this year.

TF Davao also intends to strengthen the city’s border control by adding more detachments and checkpoints. 

Comia, in a report from the City Information Office (CIO) said the TF Davao’s success in maintaining the city’s peace, security and order last year will need further augmentation to be successfully replicated this year.

“For 2022, we already have plans in place, one of which is to institutionalize our culture of security,” Comia said.

He said the city’s culture of security for this year will be targeting grade school and high school students, inculcating in them the importance of an active citizenry in the maintenance of peace and order in the city.

The TF Davao has already made its information and education campaign materials targeting grade school pupils and high school students. Dissemination of such materials is now being scheduled by the Department of Education division superintendents in the city. 

The TF Davao intends to reach all private and public elementary and high school students in the propagation of the city’s culture of security. Comia said teachers in both public and private academic institutions in the city will become the force’s partners in this endeavor, as well as the Parents-Teachers Associations.

“What we want is to make the children understand that everyone must help, that the city’s security is not just the concern of the security forces but the concern of all,” he said.
