Bohol LTO Deploys Deputized Road-Watchers

One hundred twenty (120) Land Transportation Office (LTO) newly deputized traffic enforcers officers will hit the road Tuesday for a no-nonsense campaign against violators.

LTO Tagbilaran district supervising officer Joel Maloloy-on said the regional office had already signed their deputization after undergoing a series of seminars regarding traffic laws and regulations.

All of them are government employees, traffic policemen and members of the City Traffic Management Office (CTMO) with regards to the city using civilian personnel.

Deputized officers will all be provided LTO citations tickets (Temporary Operators' Permit-TOP) that they will issue to every violator they apprehend. Due courtesy will be applied in the conduct of their work and team leaders like chief of police in municipalities will be responsible for their actions, the LTO office assured.

Maloloy-on said, his office has coordinated with the PNP provincial command under Supt Edgardo Ingking for a direct supervision of the newly deputized traffic officers.

"To erase previous impressions of abusive and corrupt traffic officers, their performance will be evaluated and all verified, written complaints from motorists will be acted observing due process," Maloloy-on said.

"If there are scalawags in these new deputized traffic enforcers, we will deal with them accordingly. But until then, I'm sure there will be none, hopefully. We'll cross the bridge when we reach there," he added.
