In comparison to the same period last year, the number of target crimes decreased by 6%, according to data released on Monday by the Philippine National Police (PNP).

According to data from the DIDM (Directorate for Investigation and Detective Management), there was a significant drop in eight focal crimes, from 16,469 for the year 2021 to 15,482 for the same period in 2022. At a press conference held at Camp Crame in Quezon City, PNP chief Gen. Rodolfo Azurin Jr. reported a decrease of 1,167 occurrences.

The eight offenses that are the focus of this investigation include theft, bodily harm, rape, robbery, murder, homicide, motorcycle theft, and car theft.

Focus or index crimes are considered serious offenses, whereas municipal ordinances, law infractions, and auto accidents are considered non-index crimes.

Violations against women and children, illegal firearm and drug possession, illegal logging, lasciviousness, direct assault, and other offenses not included in the list of index crimes are additional non-index crimes.

The criminal clearance efficiency (CCE) for July to November 2022 is 92.64 percent according to DIDM data, which is a little lower than the 94.73 percent recorded during the same period last year.

Meanwhile, the crime solution efficiency (CSE) has decreased from 61.28 percent in the same time last year to 60.59 percent currently.

While CSE refers to the proportion of solved cases out of all crimes for a specific time period, CCE is the percentage of cleared cases out of all crimes.

If the culprit has been apprehended and a criminal complaint has been lodged, the case is deemed closed.

From August to November of this year, there were 56,554 non-index offenses reported, down from 59,734 during the same time the previous year, a 5.32 percent decrease.

To reduce criminal activity during the holiday season, Azurin gave the order to all police units to put their security and public safety plans into action.

He declared that mobile and foot patrols would be set up in popular gathering places and vacation spots.

In order to support local PNP Units in law enforcement and public safety activities, the PNP National Headquarters and all 17 Police Regional Offices will have a ready component of the Standby Support Force that may be called upon at a moment’s notice.

P619-M income from police clearance

Azurin further stated that throughout the past four years of the National Police Clearance System, the PNP had produced more than PHP619 million in government money (NPCS).

According to Azurin, the NPCS fund is one of the police’s income-generating contributions to the effort to raise money for various national government programs.

He said that the issuing of more than 4.2 million police certifications produced PHP619.1 million in revenue.

A police clearance has a variety of administrative uses and transactions, both public and private.

It is a crucial prerequisite for many government transactions and job applications.

For local employment and company operations, even foreigners must obtain one.

Recently, the PNP mandated that all employees of the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators obtain a police clearance (POGOs).

According to the most recent data, from September 25 to November 30 of this year, 12,169 police clearances were granted to POGO employees.

In order to obtain National Police Clearance at PNP offices around the nation, 294 people with outstanding Warrants of Arrest were detained by the PNP, according to Azurin. “All intents and purposes of this clearance were served,” he added.

On the direction of the Department of the Interior and Local Government, the PNP began utilizing NCPS in 2016.

Three measures that would create a nationwide police clearance system and centralize information on criminal histories are now pending in Congress.

Report on accomplishments

A coffee table book and an audio-visual presentation were unveiled at the PNP Multi-Purpose Center on Monday as part of Azurin’s presentation of a summary of the PNP’s accomplishments during his first 89 days as the 28th PNP chief.

The operational successes of the country’s top law enforcement agency for the previous three months are summarized in the coffee table book titled “The First 89 Days” as a result of the cooperation and unity among the government and law enforcement agencies in promoting local sovereignty and community empowerment.

In his statement, Azurin stated that the video “presents more than just our various initiatives and projects, but it also highlights stories of bravery and good actions performed by both our uniformed and non-uniformed employees to ensure the protection and security of our residents.”

The title of the book, “First 89 Days,” is a tribute to Azurin’s Philippine Military Academy class of 1989, known as the “Makatao” Class.
