TOP military and police officials will prove their mettle in marksmanship during a shooting competition dubbed "Battle of the Generals 2012" on Feb. 4-5. The competition, to be held at the National Capital Region Police Office Firing Range in Camp Bagong Diwa, Bicutan, Taguig City, is sponsored by President Benigno S. Aquino III. Director General Nicanor A. Bartolome, PNP chief, and Deputy Director General Emelito T. Sarmiento, Directorial Staff chief, will join the shooting competition.
Sarmiento was the champion of the "Battle of the Generals 2011" by topping the 3rd and 4th stages of the event last year. Top shooters from the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, Philippine Coast Guard, Presidential Security Group, Philippine Army, Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy will also participate in the shooting tourney. Bartolome said the competition will sharpen the shooting skills of police and military generals and foster comradeship and establish friendly accord among the uniformed services.
He said the focus of the PNP leadership is to augment the shooting skills of all police officers. The organization is continuously upgrading the skills of ordinary police personnel insofar as shooting and handling of firearms is concerned. This skill is vital to protect the public and respond to any threats of violence. PNA
