Crime incidents in Metro Manila have dropped by 23.73 percent from November 23, 2024 to January 15 this year, the National Capital Region Police Office said Friday.
Aberin, who took the helm of the NCRPO on November 23, said the consistent decline of crimes are brought about by several factors, namely, the intensified police presence in the streets and areas of convergence, comprehensive and balanced deployment of personnel during major events and putting up a police force that can be truly seen, heard and felt by the community.
Aside from a downtrend in crimes, the NCRPO intensified its operations against wanted individuals, arresting 2,166 wanted persons and 349,465 violators of local ordinances during the same period. “In 2025, the community can be assured that NCRPO’s campaign against illegal drugs will be more relentless, aggressive, and highly-analytical done with utmost regard to the due observance of the Police Operational Procedures and due process of law,” Aberin said.
