Lumahok ang Police Regional Office 3 sa PNP sa pagdiriwang ng ika-122 Police Service Anniversary na ginanap nitong Setyembre 13, 2023 sa PRO3 Patrol Hall, Camp Julian Olivas, City of San Fernando, Pampanga na si PGen. Benjamin C Acorda Jr, Chief, PNP bilang Guest of Honor at Speaker.
Batay sa rekord ng National Historical Commission, ang Police Service bilang institusyon ay nagsimula ang ugat nito mula sa Insular Police Force na binuo noong Agosto 8, 1901.
Ang tema ng ika-122 Police Anniversary ngayon taon ay: “”Nagkakaisang Pulisya at Pamayanan tungo sa Mapayapa at Maunlad na bansa” na angkop sa manipesto ng PNP at PRO3 sa patuloy na kahusayan sa pagpapatupad ng batas tungo sa matatag na kapayapaan at kaayusan partikular sa Region 3.
Ayon kay PRO3 Director PBGen Jose S. Hidalgo Jr, ang kaganapan ay kinatampukan ng mensahe ni PGen Acorda Jr at pagbibigay ng rekognisyon sa mga karapat-dapat na tauhan ng PNP personnel at mahuhusay na yunit sa rehiyon na nag-ambag ng malawak sa pag-angat ng PNP-PRO3.
Sa mensahe ni PGen Acorda Jr, ay pinuri niya ang men and women ng PRO3 para sa patuloy na mahusay nilang trabaho.
Aniya pa, na lahat ng PNP Personnel ay kailangang patibayin ang kanilang tungkulin sa police service at dapat magpokus sa kanilang trabaho lalo na ngayong ang kapulisan ay may medyong nakakabahalang layunin na lipulin ang iligal na droga.
