LEGAZPI CITY — Iriga City has taken a significant step toward improving campus safety by providing metal detectors to all 51 public schools under its jurisdiction. The distribution was facilitated by Mayor Wilfredo Rex Cuba Oliva during a Department of Education (DepEd) Iriga City Division Management Committee meeting held on Monday.
The metal detection devices are intended to serve as a preventive measure against the entry of prohibited or potentially dangerous items into school premises. Officials view the initiative as a crucial component of a comprehensive security strategy designed to protect students, teachers, and school staff from potential threats.
The rollout represents a coordinated effort between the municipal government and the DepEd to create safer learning environments across the city's public education system. The distribution to all 51 schools demonstrates the local government's commitment to allocating resources toward student safety and institutional security.
School administrators have been tasked with implementing the use of these devices as part of their daily security protocols. The move aligns with broader national efforts to enhance safety measures in educational institutions across the country.
