Camp General Tomas B. Karingal is the district headquarters of the Quezon City Police District and is located in Sikatuna Village, Quezon City.[1][2]

Background

[edit]

It was named after the assassinated chief of Northern Police District (NPD) Brigadier General Tomas B. Karingal. It was formerly used by the NPD when the Quezon City police still merged within it.[3]

In 2020, due to 14 COVID cases, the camp was under lockdown.[1][4]
