THE Quezon City Police District (QCPD) has stepped up its community safety and crime prevention initiatives, successfully rolling out security and awareness campaigns for local places of worship and schools from October 2 to 8, 2026.
Under the leadership of Acting District Director Police Brigadier General Christopher Olazo, and spearheaded by the District Community Affairs and Development Division led by Police Lieutenant Colonel Allan Docyogen, the police force implemented simultaneous drives dubbed Oplan Bathala and Oplan Bisita Eskwela.
To secure religious gatherings, the QCPD deployed 149 police personnel across 72 places of worship during the week-long period, ensuring the safety of roughly 4,700 churchgoers.
Alongside heightened police visibility, officers distributed 305 informational flyers and conducted 62 related engagement activities to build stronger ties with the community and maintain a peaceful environment for the faithful.
“Our commitment is to provide a safe and secure environment for every QCitizen. Through sustained police visibility and proactive security measures, we will continue to ensure that our communities can practice their faith freely, safely, and peacefully,” PBGen. Olazo stated.
Simultaneously, the QCPD focused on youth and campus safety through Oplan Bisita Eskwela.
A total of 82 police personnel conducted 222 school-based activities that reached 4,850 students across the city.
The sessions focused heavily on proactive crime prevention, anti-bullying measures, road safety, and drug awareness.
To reinforce these lessons, officers distributed 615 educational flyers to help foster a secure and conducive learning environment.
“Through Oplan Bisita Eskwela, we remain committed to promoting school safety, raising awareness of crime prevention, and helping ensure a secure environment where students can learn and thrive,” PBGen. Olazo added.
The QCPD continues to urge the public to remain vigilant and cooperate with local authorities as part of its broader campaign to maintain peace, order, and public safety throughout Quezon City.
