Makati's Crime-Fighting Success 5 Key Takeaways from Recent Operations

As psychiatric researchers, we often focus on the human side of crime and its consequences. However, it is essential to recognize the crucial role law enforcement plays in preventing and solving crimes. In this blog post, we will delve into the recent successes of the Makati City Police Station (MCPS) and explore five key takeaways from their operations.

1. Proactive Policing Yields Positive Results Theft and Robbery Cases Plummet

The MCPS' comprehensive operations in January 2025 led to a significant decrease in theft and robbery incidents, with cases dropping by 59% - from 32 in December 2024 to just 13 in January 2025. This achievement is attributed to increased police visibility and a targeted approach, demonstrating the effectiveness of proactive policing.

2. Increased Warnings and Fines Signal Improvement

The MCPS also saw a substantial increase in warnings issued (73.5%) and fines collected (367.3%) compared to the same period last year. This surge is a result of ongoing checkpoints and Oplan Sita operations, designed to deter unlawful behavior. By issuing more warnings and collecting higher fines, the police are taking steps to prevent crime and hold offenders accountable.

Not Just Numbers

Some might be tempted to view these increased warnings and fines as mere statistics, but the MCPS' efforts demonstrate a genuine commitment to proactive policing and community engagement.

3. Crime Clearance Efficiency (CCE) and Crime Solution Efficiency (CSE) A Notable Improvement

The MCPS achieved a 69.23% CCE and 61.53% CSE in January 2025, representing a significant improvement over previous periods. These figures indicate that the police are not only deterring crime but also successfully solving and clearing cases at a higher rate than before.

4. Drug Operations and Arrests A Top Priority

The fight against illegal drugs remains a top priority for the MCPS. In January alone, they conducted 33 drug operations, resulting in the arrest of 53 drug users and 13 drug pushers. The police also confiscated illegal drugs valued at over P2.3 million, marking a significant improvement compared to last year's figures.

5. Loose Firearms Crackdown A 50% Increase

The MCPS reported the confiscation or surrender of 30 firearms in January 2025, a 50% increase over last year. This surge is a direct result of their efforts to reduce the risk of gun-related crimes in the city.

Conclusion and Call-to-Action
As psychiatric researchers, it's essential to recognize the critical role law enforcement plays in preventing and solving crimes. The MCPS' recent successes demonstrate that proactive policing can lead to significant decreases in crime rates and improved community engagement. We encourage further exploration of these findings and their implications for mental health research.
