Gen. Debold Sinas told reporters a total of 48,182 crimes were reported last year, from 51,322 crimes in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, index crimes in Metro Manila went down by 7.55 percent at 12,695 from 13,732 in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Index crimes are serious crimes such as murder, homicide, physical injury, robbery, rape, theft, and carjacking.<\/p>\n<p>Murder cases dropped by 14.09 percent from 745 to 640 in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Homicide cases decreased by 30.40 percent from 273 to 190 while physical injury cases went down by 7.51 percent from 2,330 to 2,155.<\/p>\n<p>Also, rape cases went down by 2.91 percent from 1,170 to 1,136.<\/p>\n<p>Non-index crimes, meanwhile, dipped by 5. 59 percent at 35,847 from 37,590 in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Non-index crimes are violations of local ordinances and laws and vehicular accidents.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, crime volume efficiency in Metro Manila went up by 2.06 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Sinas also reported a zero backlog in administrative cases.<\/p>\n<p>Sinas said that all 3,933 administrative cases and 697 motions for reconsideration from 1999 were resolved.<\/p>\n<p>Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar, chief of PNP Directorial Staff, earlier attributed the significant decline in the country&#8217;s crime rate to the Duterte administration&#8217;s victory in its intensified campaign against all forms of criminality, particularly illegal drugs.<\/p>\n<p>Eleazar also highlighted the importance of Metro Manila in the link between crime and illegal drugs since the country&#8217;s main region serves as a picture of the crime situation in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u00a0&#8212; The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) on Tuesday reported a 6.12 percent decrease in crime volume in 2019. &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":169135,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54365,16,95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-242102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-instagram","category-news","category-news-ph","mauthors-christopher-lloyd-caliwan","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242102"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242102\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":242103,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242102\/revisions\/242103"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
