GENERAL SANTOS CITY, April 24 (PNA) – Operations of police units in South Cotabato province significantly improved during the first three months of the year as they cleared over 73 percent of the crime incidents that occurred in the area. | |||
Senior Supt. Randolph Delfin, South Cotabato police director, said they achieved a crime clearance efficiency rating of 73.33 during the first quarter, which increased by 20 percent from last year’s records. | |||
Crime clearance efficiency refers to the percentage of cleared cases out of the total number of crime incidents handled by law enforcement agencies for a given period of time. | |||
In terms of crime solution efficiency, he said they slightly improved their rating from 25 percent last year to 27.33 percent this year. | |||
“Out of the 793 crime incidents that we handled, 494 were so far cleared and 218 have been solved,” Delfin said. | |||
The police official said among their major accomplishment for the period was the recovery of 15 of the 23 motorcycles that were stolen within the province’s 10 towns and lone city. | |||
He said they filed six cases on Monday against several identified carnapping or motorcycle theft suspects. | |||
Delfin maintained that the province has remained generally peaceful and orderly as shown by the area’s crime statistics. | |||
He said the average crime rate in the area during the first quarter of the year has gone down to 31.9 percent from the 35.7 percent in the same period last year. | |||
In terms of illegal drugs, Delfin said they have so far arrested 33 suspects and launched 18 major operations in the area. | |||

The police official said they were able to arrest 75 persons with pending arrests warrants, including 18 who were facing illegal gambling charges. | |||
