THE Quezon City Police District (QCPD) announced the reduction of eight focus crimes in Quezon City by 47.47%.

QCPD chief Police Brigadier General Redrico Maranan said 20 focus crimes–murder, homicide, physical injury, rape, theft, robbery, car theft, and motorcycle theft–were recorded from January 15–21, 2024 compared to 38 from January 8–14, 2023.

The Crime Solution Efficiency (CSE) for January 15–21, 2024 reached an impressive 85%, surpassing the previous week’s record of 76.32%. Street crimes in Quezon City registered a substantial 50% decrease during the recent period.

This notable accomplishment is attributed to the heightened police visibility and enhanced presence of QCPD personnel, particularly the Task Force-District Anti-Crime Response Team and the bike patrollers.

“I am delighted to share these accomplishments with our fellow QCitizens.

Through our intensified efforts in anti-criminality operations, enhanced police presence, and the cooperation of the public, we can ensure round-the-clock safety in Quezon City,” Maranan said.
