Elections lead to the increase in crime volume in Lanao del Sur - PNP
City of Marawi – The Philippine National Police (PNP) stressed that the conduct of the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan polls in October and the special elections in November contributed to the increase in the number of crime incidents in Lanao de Sur.
The PNP has noted that there has been a rise in the crime volume in the province for the last six months of last year compared to the same period in 2009.
Police records showed that the total crime volume from July to December last year climbed by 78 percent from the 72 cases posted in the last semester of 2009 to the 127 cases recorded in the same period in 2010.
Of the total 127 cases, 97 were considered as index crimes while 30 cases were non-index crimes.
August posted the lowest crime incidents with a total of 16 cases while December posted the highest with a total of 29 cases. Of that figure, 23 were classified as index crimes while 6 were non-index crimes.
The month of July registered the lowest average monthly crime rate (AMCR) of 0.18 and the highest crime solution efficiency (CSE) of 86%.
December meanwhile registered the highest in terms of the AMCR with 2.55 and the lowest in terms of CSE with 59%.
The statistics also showed that crimes against persons are prevalent in the province during December of last year with 17 murder cases and 4 abduction cases.
Police Senior Superintendent Pedrito delos Reyes, newly designated officer-in-charge of Lanao del Sur Police Office, explained the December figures reflected the aftermath of the October and November polls.
He said most of the index crimes cases were connected to the recently concluded polls.
The abduction cases were due to non-payment of debts by the victims or their families, he added.
The provincial police chief, however, vowed to further intensify police visibility in crime zones to tone down criminalities in the province. (Apipa P. Bagumbaran/PIA Marawi)
