The seminar, which was attended by chiefs of police, chief investigatoers, case trackers and crime registrars from the province’s 16 municipalities as well as some personnel of the Zamboanga Sibugay Provincial Police Office (ZSPPO), covered topics involving police opoerations such as guiding principles and policies, procedures, tasks and administrative sanctions, anti-carnapping/anti-hijacking, police blotter and establishment of case tracker.
Police Superintendent Julius S. Muñez, RIDMD-PRO9 chief told the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) in an interview that the main objective of the seminar is to have a clear picture of the crime statistics in the country.
“The Philippine National Police (PNP) is the primary law enforcement agency gathering data on crime statistics,” he said.
He emphasized that with the leadership of PNP chief Alan La Madrid Purisima, UCPER seminar is being conducted to gather data on crime incidents not only from the police blotter but also from the barangays and other law enforcement agencies.
“Through accurate crime statistics, we can analyze it well and come up with a strategy to lessen or reduce crime volume and to increase the crime solution efficiency of every police station throughout the country.”
Muñez also said UCPER seminar would be conducted all around the region to comply with the new laws on crime statistics.
