On a recent date, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology โ Balingasag District Jail conducted a Joint Greyhound Operation led by Acting Jail Warden SJO4 DODEE POLIDO DETALLA in coordination with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Region 10, headed by MR. LOU MICHAEL BRANDON J ABARQUEZ.
The activity aimed to ensure that the jail facility remains drug-free and secure through a thorough inspection of the jail premises, including the dormitories and other areas frequently occupied by Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL). The operation was carried out systematically by the combined team from BJMP personnel and PDEA Region 10 operatives to detect and prevent the entry of illegal drugs and other contraband inside the facility.
Following the Greyhound Operation, the personnel from PDEA Region 10 conducted a Drug Awareness Symposium for both jail personnel and PDL. The symposium focused on educating participants about the dangers and effects of illegal drugs, the importance of maintaining a drug-free environment, and the government's continuing campaign against illegal substances.
Subsequently, a Drug Testing Activity was conducted among the Balingasag District Jail personnel and selected PDL to further strengthen the commitment of the facility in promoting a drug-free workplace and rehabilitation environment. The activity was conducted in an orderly manner under the supervision of the PDEA Region 10 team.
This collaborative activity highlights the strong partnership between BJMP and PDEA in supporting the governmentโs anti-illegal drugs campaign and ensuring that the jail facility remains a safe, secure, and drug-free environment for everyone.
