NCRPO deploys 14,600 cops for holiday security

The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) has placed Metro Manila under full operational readiness for the Yuletide Season 2025 through a regionwide strategic deployment.

NCRPO is deploying 7,327 personnel and force multipliers across places of worship, major roads, transportation hubs, commercial complexes, and other high-density areas to ensure uninterrupted police visibility and rapid response.

To reinforce this, the NCRPO is also maximizing its regular security operations with 7,287 personnel assigned to routine law enforcement duties. These teams will conduct area patrols, checkpoint operations, border control, field inspections, and rapid response across all districts, ensuring safety coverage beyond holiday-specific locations.

With a combined force of more than 14,600 personnel, the NCRPO said it is fully prepared to prevent crime, respond to emergencies, and provide assistance throughout the holiday period.

NCRPO also reminded the public to remain vigilant, secure personal belongings, and exercise caution in crowded areas and transport terminals.

The police organization likewise urged families to keep their homes secured before leaving and to report suspicious behavior, unsafe firecracker activities, or any situation that may compromise public safety.
