Kalibo, Aklan- The Camp Pastor Martelino provincial police headquarters will be a wi-fi technology ready soon according to Sr. Supt. Benigno Durana, provincial police director.

Wi-fi is a wireless technology brand owned by the Wi-Fi Alliance intended to improved the interoperability of wireless local area network products based on the IEEE 802.11 standards. Common applications for Wi-Fi include Internet and VOIP phone access, gaming and network connectivity for consumer electronics such as televisions, DVD players, and digital cameras.

"The plan is part of the provincial police transformation pilot program and modernization of the police," Durana said.

Aside from the Wi-Fi connectivity, part of the police' transformation program is the construction of the new building for provincial headquarters worth P10 million.

Aklan province is considered one of the eight provinces in the country as pilot side for the transformation program of the police.

"We want our policemen gain the respect of the community through our transformation efforts. We want to introduce a business to consumer approach where police is the business provider and the consumers are the civilians," he said.

In Aklan, the Kalibo police and the Boracay police stations are considered the two pilot site for transformation in the province.
