Blue guards take over Crame

CAMP Rafael C. Crame, the headquarters of Philippine National Police in Quezon City, had a slightly different look on Monday after ordinary security guards wearing their customary blue uniforms were seen manning the camp’s main entry and other gates instead of uniformed policemen who used to man and secure it.

The take-over of the PNP headquarters by the blue guards was part of an over-all operational plan of Director General Alan Purisima in his bid to increase police visibility and contain criminals in the streets.
