KNOWN for his innovative ways, new Philippine National Police Firearms and Explosives Office (PNP-FEO) director, Senior Superintendent Raul D. Petrasanta has vowed a much better service for their clientele apart from generating additional revenues for the police force that can be used in its modernization program.

A member of Philippine Military Academy Class 1984, Petrasanta has affirmed his commitment to fully support the continuing organizational development program in the PNP-FEO being supervised by the PNP Civil Security Group now headed by Chief Supt. Gil C. Meneses of PMA Class 1980.

A known “manager, leader and a public servant”, Petrasanta said he strongly believes in pursuing innovative moves in any organization in order to develop it. As head of the PNP-FEO, he said he will be initiating a five-point agenda in support of PNP chief, Director General Nicanor A. Bartolome’s 10-point action program.

They include strengthening the organization, increasing the productivity of its officers and men, enhancing security in the unit, developing progress-oriented policies and programs and more importantly, generating more revenues.

Petrasanta, a native of Calasiao, Pangasinan, was the PNP-FEOD deputy director since August 20, 2010 until he was designated as head of the unit last January 27 vice Chief Supt. Napoleon R. Estilles, a member of PMA Class 1981 who is now the Police Regional Office 9 director.

Petrasanta, who got his Master’s Degree in Public Administration from the Manuel L. Quezon University in 1996, is a known advocate for change since his early days in the military as a young lieutenant until he rose to head small and big police stations.
