540 BPATS to undergo Skills Enhancement Training
Koronadal City Police Office under the leadership of Police Superintendent Michael Lebanan, Chief Of Police, will conduct a 2 -day seminar training through its Police Community Relation Office to 540 BPATS (Barangay Peace Keeping Action Teams) tentatively scheduled on May 22-23, 2012 at El Manggo located at Barangay Concepcion.
This is the second time that the BPATS of 27 barangays in the city will be retrained to fully equip them with skills and knowledge in helping the PNP maintain the peace and order situation in their respective barangays  and to be more effective and efficient in responding to various incidents that may happen  in the performance of their duties.
The BPATS will be re-oriented on their duties and responsibilities and or topics concerning unarmed patrolling, self defense, traffic management, basic police intelligence and others. The said training will cover a series of lectures, discussions, and practical exercises regarding their role as "force multipliers"
Lectures will be given by resource persons from PNP, the Local Government Unit and from other related government agencies.
Police Supt. Lebanan said in an interview that the first batch shall be composed of BPATS of 13 barangays namely:  Assumption, Avancena, Cacub, Caloocan, Esperanza, GPS, Mabini, Magsaysay, Mambucal, Morales, Namnama, Carpenterhill and Concepcion and the 2nd batch shall be attended by BPATS from the remaining 14 barangays namely: New Pangasinan, Paraiso, Rotonda, San-isidro, San Jose, San Roque, Saravia, Sta. Cruz, Sto.Nino, Topland, Zone 1-4. The culminating activity for both batches will be on May 24, 2012 in the morning at the City Hall Lobby.
The BPATS project is an initiative of the Philippine National Police Director for Police Community Relations (DPCR) as a strategy to involve the community in the fight against criminalities at the barangay level. It is therefore imperative to clothe them with knowledge and skills to effectively perform their tasks.
