Model police station in Alcala opens
ALCALA–Here’s another model police station in the making.
The new police station here inaugurated last Monday, is now being bandied as the latest model for the rest of the province.
“People didn’t expect that a small town like ours, a fourth class municipality, could build a beautiful police station building but we showed to all that if we help one another, we could achieve even the impossible,” said Mayor Manuel Collado.
The building, which sits on a 400 square-meter lot, was built through efforts of the local government, private groups, and the Philippine National Police (PNP).
The PNP contributed P2.5 million, the local government P1.5 million, and another P500,000 came from the proceeds of the 2005 town fiesta.
The furnishings were donated by a foundation, the class ’61 of the town’s high school while other residents funded the purchase of the office furniture and equipment.
Each of the 23 policemen in the town has an individual bed and cabinet in the building, with comfort rooms, kitchen, dining hall and conference room and a jail.
Impressed with the design of the building, Chief Superintendent Leopoldo Bataoil, police regional director, said he will make the police station building here a model for other towns to adopt.
