Since the early 1990s, the city government of Naga has made peace and order a shared responsibility between residents, barangay officials, and the local police. The residents help gather information on suspected criminals or report situations that could possibly lead to crimes. The barangay officials and the tanods, trained in basic police work, religiously do the neighborhood watch or ronda. The police are called in to make arrests when needed. The business community has been tapped, too, to donate the equipment and gadgets neeeded for anti-crime work.
