Computer-based training vs drugs, crimes now in Davao
By Ben O. Tesiorna
LAW enforcers in Davao City are set to experience the first-ever interactive computer-based learning program on how to effectively monitor and prevent drugs and criminal activities in their areas of responsibility.
The nine module-training program was launched by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crimes (UNODC) Friday afternoon at the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) 11 office inside the Davao City Police Office headquarters.
UNODC training coordinator John Irvin said the program is an interactive training for law enforcers that would teach them techniques in law enforcement.
Irvin said he had developed 69 modules for the whole program but only 9 modules will be used for the training program of the participants here in Davao City for the time being.
PDEA 11 will serve as the administrator for the said project in Davao City.
Superintendent Wilkins Villanueva, PDEA 11 director, said the training program is open to all interested policemen. He said though that some will have to wait since they only have four terminals for the computer-based training.
He estimates each module to be completed by a student from 17 to 34 hours training.
Villanueva said they had already coordinated with the heads of the different law enforcement agencies for the enrollment of their men in the said training.
Irvin said they will be monitoring the training of the participants from their main office in Bangkok, Thailand. He said only those who would complete the 9 module-training program would be given certification by their office. (BOT)
