THE Quezon City Police District (QCPD) advanced its public safety agenda on Friday, September 4, 2026, by participating in high-level policy discussions and leading direct grassroots outreach across the city.
In the morning, QCPD Acting District Director Police Brigadier General Christopher Olazo, alongside Deputy District Director for Administration Police Colonel Joel Villanueva, joined Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte at the Quezon City Hall Executive Lounge for the 3rd Quarter Meeting of the Quezon City Peace and Order Council (QCPOC).
During the council session, Olazo highlighted the necessity of unified action among police officers, local government leaders, and community stakeholders to address essential security priorities.
Key topics included school safety, disaster response, public order, and the protection of vulnerable demographics.
QCPD officials presented comprehensive briefings to council members on current security trends.
Villanueva detailed crime statistical analyses, anti-criminality reports, and crime data affecting Transport Network Vehicle Services (TNVS).
Additionally, Police Lieutenant Colonel Julius Erwin Espejo, head of the Quezon City District Anti-Cybercrime Team, delivered reports detailing digital offenses involving minors and threats surrounding nihilistic violent extremism, advocating for preventive interventions.
Following the council meeting, the QCPD transitioned its focus to community-level dialogue at 2:00 PM by hosting the “QCPD Ugnayan sa Barangay” at the Damar Clubhouse in Barangay Damar.
Led by Villanueva and District Community Affairs and Development Division Chief Police Lieutenant Colonel Allan Docyogen, the forum brought together 43 local representatives, including four Barangay Chairpersons, councilors, Lupon members, public safety officers, and anti-violence personnel.
Specialized units—including the La Loma Police Station under PLTCOL Jose Luis R. Aguirre, district intelligence and investigation divisions, and faith-based partners—participated in open discussions with local leaders.
The QCPD emphasized that combining high-level policy formulation with grassroots engagement reinforces its strategy of proactive, community-centered policing.
Local authorities reiterated that long-term security across Quezon City relies on shared responsibility, continuous inter-agency collaboration, and active public participation.
