BAGUIO CITY, -- The Baguio City Police Office on Thursday said the crime volume here decreased in February this year despite the more than a million visitors who came for the flower festival and other purposes.
Police Senior Supt. David Lacdan, city director of the BCPO, said a total of 324 index and non-index crimes were committed last February compared to January's total of 540.
"Of the total volume of crimes committed in February, 222 were index crimes. We are also happy to report that our crime solution efficiency improved during the period," he said.
Last month, the BCPO was assisted by other government forces and volunteers in the area because of the flower festival and other important events like the alumni homecoming of the Philippine Military Academy which drew big crowds.
Lacdan said the BCPO tries to maintain the low level if not further decrease crime incidence in this mountain resort through the implementation of more crime prevention measures.
