A GROUP of lawyers offered free legal assistance to the personnel of a Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) unit.

The University of Cebu (UC)-Main Campus College of Criminal Justice Lawyers' Group represented by its dean Atty. Dodilon Sabilon, signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the CCPO-City Mobile Force Company (CMFC), represented by Chief Inspector Chuck Barandog.

Stated in the MOA is that if CMFC needs legal support and advise from lawyers who know the "intricacies of procedures and critical areas of law," the group will assist them.

The lawyers' group stated that it is part of their outreach program to "help and assist law enforcement agencies" by giving them free consultation and legal representation.

The MOA is in effect in the next three years, ending on June 30, 2021. (KAL)
