The College of Criminal Justice Education (CCJE) Extension Program of the University of La Salette, Inc. (ULS) conducted a community needs assessment in Barangay Nabbuan on October 8, 2026, to gather data for the development of future extension and community-based initiatives.

Jenor Jeff D. Follante, RCrim, CCJE Extension Coordinator, together with student volunteers facilitated the assessment. In coordination with barangay officials, the team conducted surveys and consultations with residents to identify community concerns and priority areas for intervention.

Among the concerns identified were livelihood opportunities, crime prevention initiatives, particularly theft-related cases, and safety concerns arising from insufficient street lighting during nighttime.

Data gathered from the assessment will be used in planning future community extension activities and programs of the CCJE in partnership with Barangay Nabbuan.
