· TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, February 17 (PIA) — From the spending-intensive
December to the leaner January, crime volume incidence in Bohol decreases,
perhaps due to lesser crime opportunity.
For Bohol police,
however, the decrease is an indication of a better accomplishment, with a huge
portion of crimes listed as physical injuries, caused by alcohol intoxication
than premeditation.
At the Provincial Peace
and Order Council Meeting held February 17, 2015 at the People’s Mansion
Conference Hall, Camp Dagohoy statisticians showed that total crime volume in
December 2014 towered at 752 over the 718 reported in January 2015.
The 34 less crimes in
January 2015 comprise of six crimes increase in non-index crimes but an
unprecedented 40 cases decrease in index crimes, points out Police
Superintendent Nicomedes Olaivar.
On this, Supt Olaivar
cites their intensified law enforcement operations as contributive of the
increase of operational accomplishments, all of them resulted from consistent
and aggressive campaign on illegal drugs through buy-bust operations and
illegal possession of firearms through search-warrant-guided raids.
For crime solution
efficiency, police also did better in December to January time frame, solving
383 of 426 cases and clearing 392 of 458 cases, Olaivar said.
Supt Olaivar rendered
the report in lieu of his commander PSSupt. Dennis Agustin, who chose to sit on
the sidelines of the meeting.
Top crimes for the
month, according to Supt Olaivar, are physical injuries at 189 cases, followed
by theft at 134 and robbery at 54.
And for physical
injuries, Olayver showed that unlike what most would associate with physical
injuries, mauling only constitutes 30 of the 189 cases for the month.
Vehicular accidents own
up the biggest share of physical injuries cases at 127, a thing which police
authorities credited to drunk-driving.
Despite all of these,
Camp Dagohoy said “statistics reflect theft and physical injury remains to be
the prevalent crimes in the distribution of index crimes.
Physical Injury as
broken down shows that incidents in physical injuries are not mostly human
inflicted crimes but due to human errors or traffic related accidents.
