the
Liberal
Party

Self determination toward

been a common demand of
insurgents. When we all work

rights to food, water, shelter,
health services, education,
and other basic needs to a
decent life, we work toward

Regional Peace and Order Council
Meeting held to sustain safety status
TRECE
MARTIRES
CITY, CAVITE
– The
Department of Interior and
Local Government (DILG)
RO4A recently conducted the
Regional Peace and Order
Council (RPOC) Meeting held
at Sherwood Hills Golf Club,
Barangay Cabezas here.

The meeting chaired
by Governor Jesus Crispin
Remulla which was attended
by
Philippine
National
Police (PNP) officials of the
provinces of Cavite, Laguna,
Batangas, Rizal and Quezon
that aimed to review and
update the progress and
development of the different
programs implemented on
peace and order in their
respective provinces.

During the meeting
Philippine National Police
IV-A
Regional
Director
PCSupt Edward E. Carranza
gave a presentation on the
Peace and Order situation in
the region highlighting the
significant decrease in Total
Crime Volume by 6.15% in
2018, both of Index and Non-
Index crimes.

Carranza said “We can
safely say that we successfully
sustained the reduction of
crimes” attributing it to the
relentless consistent conduct
of PRO4A’s Plans and
Programs; Best Practices; and
Strategic Crime Interventions.

A 23.90% reduction
on crimes based on the
comparative distribution of
eight focus crimes (theft,
physical
injury,
robbery,
murder, rape, carnap mc,
homicide and carnap mv)
for the period January 1 to
August 31, 2018 as against the
same period last year which
is basically attributed to the
sustained efforts of all the
provincial offices.
Pointing
to
the
downtrend on the number
of crime incidents, Carranza
stressed “that there is a
significant reduction of crimes
from the assumption of office
of our regional director in June
2018 and have recorded the
all-time low incident in August
2018 with 602 incidents.”

On the other hand,
