POLICE CHIEF INSPECTOR ALDEN BACARRA DELVO Print E-mail

Name any of the more active kidnap-for-ransom or robbery-hold up groups that used to operate with impunity in Mindanao and chances are, PCI Delvo has had a hand in their neutralization.

 

In the course of his extremely dangerous yet very productive stint with the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force (PAOCTF)-Mindanao Area, he dealt with notoriously famous bands of brigands such as the Babacua and Fajardo kidnap gangs and the Posadas and Chigo robbery groups on a day-to-day basis.

Against the fierce terror tactics and vaunted firepower of these thugs, PCI Delvo employed the power of hard-nosed police intelligence work, with the valuable contribution of civilian assets and community informants, to serve the course of justice and secure the safety of the public at large.

The fact that he successfully solicited the help of members of Muslim communities to go after criminal groups with Muslim members makes his achievements all the more noteworthy.

Recognizing the need for proper training on the use of radio communications equipment among volunteer civilian informants and the potential for intelligence gathering of these community based groups, PCI Delvo organized Recon Explorer, a network of radio enthusiasts who help monitor and relay information from the ground to the police.

His main line of advocacy, however, is among the youth, with whom he has implemented a number of landmark initiatives not just to steer them away from drugs and petty crimes, but to harness them for community development and nation building. Among his projects are Kabataang Ayaw sa Pinagbabawal na Gamot, the Barangay Sports Program and Junior Cops, all aimed at educating and raising the awareness of the youth on the drug menace while instilling the values of discipline, physical fitness, hard work and team effort, and the rule of law among the young.

His livelihood programs for out-of-school youth have likewise made an impact on transforming erstwhile juvenile delinquents into productive and law-abiding citizens.
