CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro — Following the intensified implementation of its 'Safer Islands' strategy, the Police Regional Office MIMAROPA logged a significant 28.74% reduction in total crime incidents from April 6 to present, compared to the same period in the previous year.

Data from the Regional Investigation and Detective Management Division (RIDMD) revealed that total crime incidents declined from 247 to 176 cases, alongside notable reductions across key indicators: Peace and Order Indicators dropped by 34.87% (152 to 99), index crimes fell by 57.58% (33 to 14), non-index crimes decreased by 28.57% (119 to 85), and public safety incidents, including vehicular cases, declined by 18.95% (95 to 77).

While the 'Safer Cities' initiative strengthens urban security through visibility and disciplined public spaces, PRO MIMAROPA advances 'Safer Islands'—a localized, adaptive framework for geographically dispersed, tourism-driven, and coastal communities, anchored on the consistent and calibrated enforcement of local ordinances.

Regional Director PBGEN Jovencio S Badua, Jr said the strategy ensures that police presence and public safety are felt across all communities.

“Through 'Safer Islands', we ensure that safety is not limited by geography. Whether in the mainland, along our coastlines, or in the farthest island barangay, the presence of the police must be felt, trusted, and relied upon,” PBGEN Badua said.

The MIMAROPA Top Cop emphasized that sustaining these gains will require continued focus on investigative efficiency and case resolution to ensure accountability and reinforce public trust.

“Reducing crime is only part of the mission. We must ensure that justice is delivered. Safer Islands commits not only to visible policing, but to effective law enforcement that produces results,” PBGEN Badua added.

PRO MIMAROPA reaffirmed its commitment to responsive, community-centered, and results-driven policing, ensuring that safety, discipline, and public trust are sustained across every island and community in MIMAROPA.
