KIDAPAWAN CITY, Philippines (Mindanao Examiner / January 12, 2010) – The Philippine National Police on Tuesday said it would rename the North Cotabato Police Provincial Mobile Group to Cotabato Provincial Public Safety Management Company.

The Cotabato Provincial Police Office has two reactionary provincial mobile groups - the 1201st Police Provincial Mobile Group based at Fort Pikit in Pikit town in North Cotabato and the 1202nd Police Provincial Mobile Group based in Kidapawan City.

In a directive, the Philippine National Police said effective December 21, 2009, by virtue of General Order Number 687, all mobile groups, including the Regional Mobile Group were abolished and the Public Safety Management Company was created.

The new police group is based at the headquarters of the Cotabato Police Provincial Office. (Arlene Solmerano)
