The New Davao City Police Chief P/Supt Michael John Dubria paid his courtesy call to the 18th City Council on the first regular meeting of the legislators. The police chief was given a chance to give his speech to the council reiterating his strong commitment to peace and order as well as the fight against drug and criminality. He further said that he will continue the good programs of the previous leadership of DCPO P/Supt Vicente Danao Jr. just like the "Isumbong mo kay CD" hotline.

He said that the Davao City police will strive hard to adhere to their pledged responsibilities and commitment to the Dabawenyos serving with dignity and honesty. As instructed to them by the new PNP Chief Superintendent Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa, they have to take back the people's trust to the people thus making their agency credible enough to do their job. Internal cleansing is their first move in the PNP, bringing the policemen who go against the law pay for their wrong doings.

In his early days of service as DCPO Chief, there were already more or less 260 drug users and pushers who voluntarily surrendered themselves to the authorities. These people, according to Dubria, will undergo interrogation, drug test and rehabilitation. The police authorities will be using the free government facilities to accommodate these activities. 

As the call of the newly elected President Rody Duterte against drugs and criminality heightened, the pressure is on for the police authorities. Chief Dubria even felt the pressure more as he recognize that Davao City is on the spotlight. But he assured everyone that the Davao City police under his command will be strictly following the rules of their oath of service.
