Today’s activity is the final outline and run-through of the traffic scheme for the Spring and Panagbenga Festival 2023. The Baguio City Police Office- Traffic Enforcement Unit ( BCPO-TEU), in coordination with the City Engineering Office- Traffic and Transport Management Division, actively participated with the different Public Utility Jeepney Driver’s Association representatives where they discussed the proposed traffic scheme for the upcoming major event of the City.
One of the most vital and important parts in ensuring the success of an event is planning. Planning includes all the elements required to carry it out, notably predicting the appropriate response in the case of unavoidable circumstances that may develop.
Every commander needs to be reminded of their accountability and culpability for their plans and decisions as future officials in the PNP.[1]"The primary goal of traffic management is to make the movement of goods and persons as efficient, orderly, and safe as possible. This applies to everyone who uses the roads, not only operators of motor vehicles but also pedestrians and cyclists. For example, redirecting traffic from major roads during peak hours may help the overall movement be safer and more efficient." Scientific D.(2021)
Aside from controlling and managing the free flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, planning and preparing for possible challenges are included in BCPO-TEU’s roles, duties, and functions. Likewise, participating in the discussion not only provides control and clarity on the upcoming event itself but also heightens our decision-making skills as future PNP officers.
Finally, participating in the talk-through taught us that harmony and coordination must fundamentally be built by preparation and detecting potential challenges. Therefore, cooperation and unity among us future PNP officers are crucial for improving the quality of our police service to the public.
