The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) salutes and congratulates the Philippine National Police (PNP) for recording a significant 62 percent decrease in crime rate during the first two years of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s administration.

Latest records show a total of 83,059 incidents for July 1, 2022 to July 28, 2024 compared to 217,830 incidents for the same period in 2016-2018.

The PNP’s crime clearance efficiency rate and crime solution efficiency rate also registered notable increases at 27% and 10%, respectively.

These significant feats are a testament to the unrelenting commitment of the PNP to continuously serve and protect the public from criminality and lawlessness.

With this positive development, the DILG urges the PNP to continuously fulfill their sworn duties as vanguards of peace and order towards a safe and peaceful Bagong Pilipinas.
