PNP PUTS FULL SECURITY MEASURES IN PLACE FOR SY 2026–2027 SCHOOL OPENING

As millions of learners prepare to return to schools nationwide, the Philippine National Police (PNP) has placed a robust security and assistance framework in motion, deploying a total of 55,507 personnel nationwide under Oplan Balik-Eskwela for School Year 2026–2027.

The deployment underscores the government’s priority of keeping school communities safe and accessible as classes formally open on June 8, 2026 until April 8, 2027. Of the total force, 28,751 are from the PNP, supported by 4,079 personnel from other units and 22,677 force multipliers from partner agencies and community groups, highlighting a strengthened whole-of-nation approach to school safety.

Security visibility will be reinforced through 9,319 Police Assistance Desks strategically placed in campuses and clustered schools, 9,525 mobile patrol units, and nearly 10,000 force multipliers actively assisting in security and crowd management in school zones nationwide.

PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., emphasized that the deployment is not merely about numbers, but about ensuring confidence among students and parents as the new school year begins.

“Importante sa amin na maramdaman ng bawat magulang at estudyante na ligtas sila sa kanilang pagpasok sa eskwela. Hindi lang ito presence—this is assurance. Nandito ang PNP, kasama ang komunidad, para tiyakin na maayos at payapa ang balik-eskwela,” the Chief PNP said.

He also noted that the initiative supports the PNP Focused Agenda under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, where visibility, coordination, and quick response are prioritized, in line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s direction to strengthen public safety for continuous and stable learning.

To address both on-ground and online concerns, the Anti-Cybercrime Group will maintain cyber monitoring against cyberbullying, misinformation, and fake news affecting students and parents. The EOD and K9 units are likewise on alert for possible threats in school areas, while the Highway Patrol Group will deploy road safety marshals to help ensure smooth traffic flow and protect students and commuters.

Local police units have been instructed to closely coordinate with schools, LGUs, and stakeholders to keep school environments orderly, including strict enforcement and coordination on zoning regulations around school vicinities.

As the country welcomes another school year, the PNP reaffirmed its commitment to being present where it matters most—on the ground, in communities, and beside learners and families—advancing a Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman, where public safety is delivered with consistency, care, and purpose.
