PNP to launch e-blotter system in Zambo Sur


By: Gideon C. Corgue
PAGADIAN CITY, April 29 (PIA) -- To fully implement the Philippine National Police (PNP) electronic blotter (e-blotter) system nationwide, the PNP is scheduled launch the electronic system in Zamboanga del Sur on April 30. 

Senior Supt. William Mananzan, Zamboanga del Sur police chief in an interview said PNP chief Director General Nicanor Bartolome is expected to arrive at 9:00 am on Monday, April 30 at Camp Abelon along with the chief of Information Technology Management Service (ITMS), and members of command group from the national headquarters.
 

Mananzan said this is a priority thrust of the PNP chief’s administration to expand the e-blotter implementation in accordance with his own 10-point fundamental action plan and command priorities.
 

The e-blotter system facilitates fast, easy and paperless recording of crime information using the computer machine. Through the Internet, other police stations and higher headquarters could access such information for proper coordination and police action.
 

Mananzan said the PNP leadership is tasked to monitor the performance of every police station in crime prevention and solution.
 

At the municipal police stations before, Mananzan said, information or citizen’s complaint will be recorded by the desk sergeant in a typewriter but with the advent of new technologies, the system was no longer practiced. “At present, information or complaint will be encoded directly to the computer, so regional headquarters will automatically get a copy of the report,” he added.
 

Mananzan said the e-blotter will provide real time crime data to field commanders to guide them in their crime prevention effort.
 

The provincial police chief said Bartolome will also grace the inauguration and blessing of the new Public Safety Savings and Loan Association, Inc. located inside Camp Abelon and will talk to his men and meet members of the local media for a press conference. (ALT/GCC-PIA9 ZamboSur)
