Valenzuela cops get huge boost
The local government of Valenzuela donates 25 police cars and 40 motorcycle units to the Valenzuela City Police in a ceremony at the ALERT Multi-purpose Center on 20 March 2025. The fully equipped vehicles are part of the city's broader strategy to combat crime.
The local government of Valenzuela City has provided its police force with new cars and motorcycles, aiming to enhance crime prevention efforts.
In a statement, Valenzuela Mayor Weslie Gatchalian disclosed that the local government allocated P49 million for the purchase of 40 Honda ADV motorcycles, 22 Toyota Veloz cars and three Toyota Hilux trucks.
Gatchalian led the distribution, stating the city will continue to budget for improved police vehicles and equipment.
“When our children come home and our spouses walk safely, we feel at ease; this is a symbol that we are surrounded by a strong sense of security, and we have no fear because we can see our police officers around us,” Gatchalian said.
He said the initiative aligns with the city’s “Valenzuelife” motto, focused on improving livability and livelihood.
