HISTORY
Police Regional Office 10 Headquarters is located on top of a hilly area in Camp Alagar, Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro City, overlooking the heart of the city. The camp was named after the late Philippine Constabulary Officer, 1LT VICENTE GARCIA ALAGAR, who with his nine men fully outnumbered, were killed in action in a hand to hand combat with the band of outlaws on September 9, 1932 at the height of the Jolo campaign. The exploit of the late 1LT ALAGAR is a living legacy of the bravery and courage of the men and women in khaki uniform. The Philippine Constabulary is true to its Motto: “Always outnumbered but never outfought”.
The main innovation in the past years was the regionalization program which saw the 4 PC Zone set-up decentralized into 13 Regional Commands. This move harmonized the PC’s geographical jurisdiction and organizational structure with the regional set-up of the civil side of the government. In terms of management of resources and goal attainment, regionalization has made it possible to provide more effective logistical support to the field and closer supervision over units.
On January 1, 1991, RA 6975, otherwise known as the Philippine National Police Act of 1991 was effected, thereby deactivating the PC/INP and reorganizing it into the Philippine National Police. The basis of the Philippine National Police is the constitutional provision which states among others that there shall be one police force – national in scope and civilian in character.
At present, the PRO 10 is under the leadership of PBGEN JAYSEN C CARPIO, Acting Regional Director, and is continuously serving the general public with utmost dedication to duty, honor, and integrity. The PRO 10 is guided by its vision to make Northern Mindanao a safer place to live, invest, and work.
