Focus crimes such as murder, homicide, physical injury, robbery, theft, rape and car theft decreased by 17.11 percent. Non-index crimes or violations of special laws dropped by 3.97 percent.

PNP chief Gen. Benjamin Acorda Jr. said the lower crime rate reflects the efforts of the police in ensuring the safety and security of communities.
