AS PART of her unrelenting commitment to security, Mayor Maria Isabelle Climaco-Salazar Wednesday, January 27, 2021, turned over 10 units of bulletproof vests to the Zamboanga City Police Office (ZCPO).

Salazar turned over the bulletproof vest after the City Peace and Order Council (CPOC) meeting Wednesday at the City Hall conference room.

Police Colonel Rexmel Reyes, ZCPO director, personally received the vest from Salazar on behalf of the command.

During the meeting, Salazar on Saturday, January 30, said they discussed the prevailing peace and order situation in this city amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.

The city government's investment in security has reached over P2 billion since the start of the Salazar administration in July 2013.

Salazar, during her state of the city address before the City Council Tuesday, January 26, reported that Zamboanga City has maintained the zero bombing, zero kidnapping and zero piracy at sea record for five straight years, which she thanked the ZCPO, Task Force Zamboanga and all other security forces in the city to include the force multipliers.
