STA. BARBARA–The country’s first municipal-level Mamang Pulis store that sells goods at prices 15% lower than prevailing market rates to policemen and their dependents, was opened here on Monday.

The store is a project of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Service Store System (SSS) as part of the benefits of the police force.

Retired PNP Director Jose Antonio Salvacion, the administrator of the PNP-SSS, said several more provincial branches will be set up this year to bring the service to the municipal and city police station levels.

SPO4 Jaime Jimenez, the elected president of the local police cooperative, said a percentage of the store’s net income will go to the police station’s cooperative.

Mayor Reynaldo Velasco, a retired PNP general, Director Silverio Alarcio of the Directorate for Integrated Police Operation in Northern Luzon, Chief Superintendent Manuel Cachero, deputy regional director of Ilocos Region PNP lead the inauguration rites.

PNP-SSS was established in 1976 to provide common household and other merchandise to PNP personnel and other dependents at affordable and competitive prices. Its operations used to be limited to the PNP National Headquarters at Camp Crame and some regional headquarters.#
