“Despite the many anti-drug operations that the Police units have been conducting, we make sure that they are properly coordinated among units or stations within the organization or even those joint operations with other law enforcement agencies,” said PNP Chief Gen. Dionardo Carlos.
“Before the actual operation, it must have undergone a thorough intelligence gathering and surveillance,” he added.
