On September 14, 2016, one Section from the 14th Division Reconnaissance Company led by 1Lt. Joseph Galapa arrived in Dapitan City to augment the police force in its anti-criminality operations. This is in relation to the declaration of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte of State of Violence.

They will help the police in patrolling, conducting checkpoints and in law enforcement operations. In the enforcement of laws, their role is limited to providing security to the PNP raiding teams. Their presence in the city is temporary or until the Declaration of Lawless Violence is lifted.

The AFP and PNP assures the public that there will be no violation of the constitutional rights and that respect for human rights is paramount.
