The firearms proficiency and marksmanship of police personnel under the Police Regional Office – Negros Island Region (PRO-NIR) is up for evaluation during the 1st RD’s Cup 2025, which will run for two days at Camp Alfredo Montelibano Sr. in Bacolod City.
PLt. Col. Joem Malong, PRO-NIR spokesperson, disclosed that the activity, scheduled for July 24 and 25, is aimed at enhancing the shooting accuracy, gun safety practices, and tactical competence of uniformed personnel from various law enforcement agencies.
“This pioneering event is not only a test of precision and tactical skills but also a demonstration of discipline, inter-agency cooperation, and the PNP’s unwavering commitment to continuous capability development,” Malong said in a statement issued by the Regional Public Information Office.
Strictly no civilian shooters are allowed, as the event is exclusively designed to assess and improve the operational readiness of law enforcers, particularly PNP patrollers who face daily operational risks in the line of duty, Malong added.
Anchored on the directive of the PNP chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III to strengthen inter-agency collaboration and enhance field readiness, personnel of various units under PRO-NIR, PNP National Support Units (NSUs), and other law enforcement agencies will participate in the activity.*
