The Police Regional Office-10 (PRO-10) has finally put an end to the arduous 24-hour shifts that have been the norm for police personnel in Northern Mindanao. Brig. Gen. Christopher Abrahano, the regional director of PRO-10, made the announcement on Monday, ending the 'Tumba-tumba' practice that has left many officers exhausted.

The 'Tumba-tumba' practice involved a demanding cycle that required police officers to be on the job for 24 hours straight, leaving them little time to rest or sleep. This led to many officers being 'asleep on their feet', struggling to stay awake during their shifts.

Abrahano said that the decision to end 24-hour shifts was made to boost police operational efficiency across the region. He added that the new shift system will allow police officers to work more efficiently, respond to emergencies more quickly, and provide better service to the community.

The police officers in Northern Mindanao will now work in shifts, with proper rest and sleep arrangements made to ensure that they can perform their duties effectively. This is a welcome development for the police officers who have been struggling with the gruelling 24-hour shifts.

The PRO-10 has also announced that it will provide additional training to its police officers to ensure that they are equipped to handle the demands of the shift system. This training will cover areas such as fatigue management, stress reduction, and time management.

Abrahano said that the new shift system will be implemented starting next week, and that police officers will be given adequate time to adjust to the new system. He added that the PRO-10 is committed to providing the best possible service to the community, and that the new shift system is part of its efforts to achieve this goal.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) has welcomed the decision to end 24-hour shifts in Northern Mindanao. A spokesperson for the PNP said that the new shift system will help to reduce fatigue and improve police performance.

Abrahano's decision to end 24-hour shifts in Northern Mindanao has been hailed as a victory for police officers who have been struggling with the gruelling shifts. It is a move that is expected to improve police operational efficiency across the region and provide better service to the community.
