P74 Million Grandest Police Headquarters In PH With Bulletproof Windows, Green Features Opens In Muntinlupa
After more than two decades of renting space at the back of
City Hall, the Muntinlupa police can now call a P74 million “green” building
their new home.
What is considered the biggest local police headquarters in
Metro Manila was inaugurated on Wednesday, January 25, on a 2,214-square-meter
government land on Laguerta Street,
Barangay Tunasan.
The four-story structure designed by Don Causapin of the
City Architect’s Office has shock-resistant and bulletproof windows. It is also
installed with 51 closed-circuit television cameras linked to a command center.
The fully ventilated ground floor will be used as a
detention area that can accommodate 80 male and female inmates, while the roof
deck will have the barracks and a recreation center for uniformed personnel.
The building also has rainwater collector units for water
recycling and energy efficient LED lights.
Construction started in 2016 after the Muntinlupa City
council approved a P74-million budget for the project, according to City
Information Officer Tez Ramos.
“In my 34 years in the service, it is only today that I’ve
seen a high-quality headquarters such as this. It should be a model for other
police headquarters in the Philippines,” said National Capital Region Police
Office Chief Director Oscar Albayalde.
Senior Supt. Nicolas Salvador, Muntinlupa Police Chief, said
about a hundred policemen can move out of their former police station behind
City Hall in Barangay Putatan, around a kilometer away from the new
headquarters, starting January 31.
