Crime volume down in Eastern Visayas, police report

THE Police Regional Office in Eastern Visayas reported a slight decrease of 1.95 percent in the crime volume in the region for the period of May 7 to October 25, 2021, compared to the same period last year.

“The reduction of crimes is the result of the intensified police operations by our men and women in the field amid pandemic,” said Regional Director Brigadier General Rommel Bernardo Cabagnot.

The official cited the report of Colonel Carlito Abriz, chief of Regional Investigation and Detective Management Division.

Based on the Crime Information Reporting and Analysis System of the police regional command, the total crime volume dropped by 86 incidents or from 4,408 to 4,322.

The said crime volume consists of index and non-index crimes.

Index crimes crime include murder, homicide, rape, physical injury, robbery, and theft, while non-index crimes are on violations of local ordinances and vehicular accidents.

Aside from the relentless campaign against criminalities, Cabagnot attributed the drop of crime volume to the quarantine-related protocols being continually observed in Eastern Visayas. (SunStar Philippines)
