PNP-Normin launches project 'Double Barrel Alpha'

CAMP Alagar, Cagayan de Oro City--Our accomplishments tally is reset back to zero!

Thus, said Northern Mindanao police regional director PCSupt Noel Constantino as he signaled the shift in the anti-illegal drug campaign strategy.  

PCSupt Constantino himself personally presented Project Double Barrel Alpha, the revitalized anti-illegal drug campaign strategy in a command conference over the weekend at Camp Alagar with ranking police officials from across the region in attendance.

"Although the new approach in anti-illegal drug operations will still be launched nationwide within few days, we have already taken the lead as always and expects ground commanders to deliver and meet our target before the year ends," Constantino said.

"Project Double Barrel Alpha will place stronger focus on arresting prominent personalities in the government, military, police and business industry involved in the illegal drug trade," NorMin police regional spokesperson PSupt Surki Sereñas said.

"The new approach aims to reduce killings and put more emphasis into arresting high value targets tied to drug trade and at the same time assist in facilitating drug problem intervention programs," Sereñas added.

The spokesperson also said that another important component infused in the Project Double Barrel Alpha will be on the way police operates. The new strategy will see police working with community leaders to clear neighborhoods of drugs and partnering with other sectors of society to facilitate intervention such as community-based rehabilitation programs.
