Underscoring the significance of the WCPD’s efforts, Mayor Uy highlighted the crucial role of police officers in enforcing and improving programs that directly benefit children and women in the community.
Recognizing the vulnerability of these groups, the training aimed to equip police officers with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively handle cases involving women and children.
