Roxas to PNP: Be focused, systematic in solving crimes
Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas has urged the Philippine National Police to be more focused, systematic and investigative in addressing crime situations in Metro Manila.
Roxas, in a weekly command conference in Camp Crame, said crime statistics that are gathered weekly based on blotters booked in different police stations in the National Capital Region (NCR) should be reviewed and analyzed by the station commanders and district directors in order to further bring down the number of crime incidents.
Roxas explained that while he is pleased with the performance of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) in curbing criminality in the metropolis, thorough assessment of the crimes committed in a particular area should be made as a follow through.
He cited as example the 13 firearms that were confiscated by the PNP during the conduct of Oplan Bakal Sita for the week covering February 9 to 15.
We apprehend illegal firearms in checkpoints. Our officers flag them and if they see that there is a firearm, we ask for their permit, and if they fail to show the required documents, we automatically confiscate the firearms. But now, illegal firearm carriers avoid the PNP checkpoints, Roxas said.
In line with this, Roxas ordered NCRPO Director General Carmelo Valmoria to coordinate with the District Intelligence Unit and come out with a mechanism that will strengthen the confiscation of unlicensed firearms.
He also instructed the Directorate for Investigation and Detective Management (DIDM) to assist the NCRPO in determining which of the 396 robbery and theft incidents that were recorded from February 9 to 15 involved the use of firearms.
Roxas likewise reiterated that any tool available to assist PNP in battling crime will not be effective unless the approach is deliberate, programmatic and systematic.
