BACOLOD CITY - Some 1,396 police personnel will be deployed to secure the voting centers in all 31 component cities and municipalities in Negros Occidental during the May 9 national and local elections. Data of the Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office (NOCPPO) show two policemen will be deployed to each of the 698 voting centers on election day aside from other personnel on stand-by to provide monitoring and quick reaction assistance. Lt. Abegael Donasco, NOCPPO spokesperson, said on Tuesday they have sufficient manpower and have no need so far, for augmentation forces from the Police Regional Office-Western Visayas (PRO-6). "We will not need it anymore. We were able to find a way so we will not have lack of personnel. We will not get more people and we will not also send people to other units," she said in a virtual press conference. Donasco said the NOCPPO has identified 170 policemen for deployment to the City and Municipal Election Monitoring and Action Centers and
