To complement police operations, the Philippine National Police (PNP) has added more marine and land mobile assets, as well as communication technology. During simple rituals at the PNP National Headquarters on 9-February-2022, PNP Chief, Police General Dionardo B Carlos, led police officials in blessing new equipment worth Php576,667,540.

Ten police high-speed Tactical Watercraft with twin 250 horsepower engines are the newest additions to the PNP’s seacraft arsenal. The new seacraft will supplement the existing fleet of police gunboats used by the PNP Maritime Group and Special Action Force for seaborne police operations and preventive patrol along the country’s 36,000-kilometer coastline and coastal borders.

Also in the latest procurement package are 34 6-wheel utility trucks, 123 4×2 patrol vehicles, 170 low band VHF tactical radio sets, and 1,628 handheld Digital Mobile Radio transceivers.
