MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) and the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) have created a joint manual of operations in the search and seizure of illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia in all BuCor prisons.
On Tuesday, PDEA Director General Arturo Cacdac Jr. and BuCor chief Ricardo Rainier Cruz III signed the manual of operations at the PDEA National Headquarters in Quezon City.
PDEA said that the creation of the manual is to ensure that the two agencies have synchronized efforts in anti-drug operations in all BuCor prisons and penal farms.
The manual encompasses the basic rules and procedure in the standard conduct of greyhound operations in all national prisons and BuCor penal farms. It is also to get rid of illegal drugs and activities inside the facilities, the PDEA said.
