PAGADIAN CITY – The
Zamboanga del Sur Police Provincial Office (ZSPPO) recently adopted the
Performance Governance System (PGS) as a strategy to achieve its vision of becoming
a highly capable, effective and credible police service by 2030.
In his message during the
oath-taking of the officers and members of the ZSPPO Provincial Advisory
Council held here recently, Superintendent James Turbela, deputy provincial
director for administration said the PGS, otherwise known as the “PNP
Transformation Roadmap 2030,” envisions that “the PNP will become a highly
capable, effective and credible police service in partnership with a responsive
community for the attainment of a safer place to live, work, and do business.”
With
the new program, Turbela said, the ZSPPO is mandated to pass the four stages,
namely: initiation, compliance,
proficiency, and institutionalization stage.
“The
ZSPPO has passed the first stage—the initiation stage - and is now coping to
pass the other three stages,” Turbela announced.
The
initiation stage is the formation of technical working group and provincial advisory
council, formulation of strategy map and governance scorecards.
“The
command is now on its second stage, the compliance stage,” Turbela disclosed
adding, ”what we are doing now is accomplishing the compliance stage which is
the organization and formalization of PAC.”
Meanwhile,
Inspector Joel Galeriana, chief of
Dashboard Management and Alignment Police Commission Office said the PGS is a
participatory process wherein every individual or objectives must be accomplished.
“It is a
program of governance that every member of the Philippine National Police (PNP)
must get involved,” he added.
Galeriana
said the PGS is a new program to them since they are not used to it.
“Before
a PNP member used to work for his own benefit but with the PGS, we work as an
institution to achieve our goals and objectives,” Galeriana added.
