“What I envisioned is something similar to an Intelligence Oplan, where we have specific target, determine the available logistics and based on the lessons learned, we come up with solutions and follow it up. We have to make it a point to have a regular monitoring of these projects later on. I hope that this will be used as a template by other provinces and regions” said Governor Ebdane on his plans as the new RPOC Chair. 

The RPOC is the body that ensures a more comprehensive and effective coordination of government efforts and active participation of citizenry in the campaign against criminality and insurgency.
