The Makati Police's Proactive Approach Yields Significant Results in Combating Crime

As we enter a new year, it's heartening to see that concerted efforts to combat crime are yielding positive results. The Makati City Police Station (MCPS) has reported a notable decline in theft and robbery incidents, thanks to their comprehensive operations and proactive approach.

A Sustained Effort 73.5% Increase in Warnings Issued and 367.3% Surge in Fines Collected

In January 2025 alone, the MCPS issued 73.5 percent more warnings and collected 367.3 percent more fines compared to the same period last year. This significant uptick is a direct result of their ongoing checkpoints and Oplan Sita operations, designed to deter unlawful behavior.

Proactive Policing A Preventative Approach to Crime

According to Col. Jean de la Torre, Officer in Charge of the MCPS, these numbers reflect the station's focus on proactive policing. Rather than simply reacting to crime, we're taking steps to prevent it from happening in the first place, she emphasized.

Crime Clearance Efficiency and Crime Solution Efficiency A Winning Formula

The station achieved a 69.23 percent Crime Clearance Efficiency (CCE) and 61.53 percent Crime Solution Efficiency (CSE), representing a significant improvement over previous periods. This suggests that the police are not only deterring crime but also successfully solving and clearing cases at a higher rate.

A Top Priority The Fight Against Illegal Drugs

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

Cracking Down on Illegal Gambling

The MCPS's crackdown on illegal gambling has led to 75 arrests and the seizure of over P14,000 in bet money, demonstrating their commitment to combating illegal activities that undermine the city's safety and well-being.

A Step Towards Safer Streets The Confiscation or Surrender of 30 Firearms

The issue of loose firearms remains a major concern. The Makati CPS reported the confiscation or surrender of 30 firearms, a 50 percent increase over last year, reducing the risk of gun-related crimes in the city.

As we move forward into the new year, it's clear that proactive policing is key to reducing crime and promoting a safer community. By working together with citizens and other stakeholders, we can build on these successes and create a more secure environment for all.
