The Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office (NOCPPO) has topped the Unit Performance Evaluation Rating (UPER) among the eight units under the Police Regional Office-Western Visayas (PRO-6) in the first quarter of 2022.
Lt. Abegael Donasco, NOCPPO spokesperson, said on Wednesday the accomplishment can be credited to the support and cooperation of the police stations in all 31 cities and municipalities in the province.
“They really brought this achievement to us. There are the arrests of wanted and most wanted persons and the anti-illegal drug and gambling operations. We had major drug recoveries. These are main reasons that made us number one,” she added.
NOCPPO dominated the ratings in the last two months to become number one in Western Visayas, with total scores of 94.31 percent and 94.43 percent in February and March, respectively.
In January, NOCPPO placed second with a rating of 92.38 percent slightly behind Bacolod City Police Office, which placed number one.
The police units are evaluated and rated based on the following parameters — police-community relations, human resource and doctrine development, intelligence, operations, investigation, plans, research, logistics, information and communications technology, personnel management, and finance.
At the provincial level, the top UPER performers among the city and municipal police stations for January were Bago CPS, with 89.37 percent; Silay CPS — 89.13 percent; and Talisay CPS — 89.10 percent, as well as Valladolid MPS — 88.44 percent; Pulupandan MPS — 88.21 percent; and Pontevedra — 87.63 percent.
