Cebu police get more support from CrameCebu City – The Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) will receive 15 new police cars and a still undetermined number of firearms from the Philippine National Police (PNP) headquarters in Camp Crame. Dino said the city police will receive the vehicles after Mayor Tomas Osmeña pulled out the police cars issued by the city government. Osmeña cut off support for the city police after the police chief was relieved by President Rodrigo Duterte. Early this month, the National Police Commission (Napolcom) stripped Osmeña of police control after he withdrew his support for the campaign against illegal drugs. “True to his pronouncement to withdraw his support, Mayor Tomas Osmeña had decided to stop giving allowances and rewards to new police officers who were newly assigned in the Police Office.
