Of these four, two were for physical injury, one for robbery and one for murder.
Non-index crimes however registered five incidents, compared to zero-crime last year.
Virtually consistent with the PNP report, the PIA survey on criminality in the province also showed that 70% of respondents said criminality in Siquijor remained the same or has decreased in the last six months with 19 of 20 respondents indicating they were satisfied with the PNP’S performance in reducing criminality and only one dissatisfied with the agency’s performance.
Earlier, the PNP-Siquijor reported that despite political instability and controversies affecting the PNP, Siquijor remains a peaceful province and a safe place to live, work, and do business.
Siquijor Police Operations Chief, Police Inspector Vincent Paul Dumaguing said this is the result of various preventive and security measures that the Siquijor police implemented during the period.
He said strict implementation of the Police Integrated Patrol System is strengthened this year aside from regular conduct and strengthening of Barangay Intelligence Network (BIN); barangay visitation and dialogues (pulong-pulong); inspection and other activities to maintain the province’s peace and order situation.
