PNP speeds up emergency response

THE Philippine National Police (PNP) now responds to emergency calls within three to five minutes, bolstered by the Department of the Interior and Local Government’s (DILG) Revitalized Emergency 911 initiative.

Brigadier General Warren Gaspar A. Tolito, head of the PNP Communications and Electronics Service, said over 90% of calls to Police 911 are answered within the target response time, a marked improvement driven by upgraded systems and protocols.
