Police stations of
Corella, Candijay, President Carlos P. Garcia and Sikatuna reported zero crime volumes while the
Tourist Police detachment in
Panglao also fared similarly this February.
Fourteen (14) towns in this province also registered perfect slates in crime solution efficiency ratings, even as some towns police organizations remain saddled with theft and robbery, some of them involving minors.
Scoring 100% in crime solution efficiency are
Tubigon, Sevilla, Maribojoc, Lila, Bilar, with one crime recorded and solved; San Isidro, Dimiao, Danao with two (2) crimes recorded and solved; Dauis, Antequera, Anda and Alburquerque with three (3) crimes recorded and solved; and Sagbayan and
Guindulman with five (5) crimes recorded and solved.
But even with these records, PSSupt Constantino Barot said continued police visibility and street patrols including checkpoints have to be sustained.
Just last week, Barot reported that some 62 police officers completed a training on crime scene investigations in a bid to better equip crime fighters to pick out the identity of criminals using crime scene clues.
Barot with
Bohol Governor Edgar Chatto agreed for a continuing legal education for police officers to make them efficient in filing cases and getting criminals off the streets.
Chatto, at his weekly 'Kita ug ang Gobernador" radio program bared that the legal education in fact will have prosecutors and fiscals as resource persons.
"This is a big step in getting into the mindset of the fiscal during criminal prosecution and score on points rather than be shot down on technicalities," Chatto said.
Tagbilaran City topped the most number of crime cases with 243 and solving only 61 cases capping a 25% crime solution efficiency, a chart Barot presented to the Provincial Peace and Order Council Meeting Thursday (March
.
Bohol Police Superintendent Constantino Barot said that in Bohol, theft cases rose a little over 10% compared to the previous month.
January 2012 recorded 246 crimes as a sum of the consolidated reports from local police blotters compiled by Camp Dagohoy.
In February, the number rose to 272, adding that the local police have been alarmed as most heft cases involved minors.
Theft comprises 59% of all crime types in a crime distribution pie which Camp Dagohoy presented at the PPOC.
Next to theft cases of robbery with force upon things or persons tallied 49 that comprises 21% of the total crimes in Bohol committed during the month of February 2012.
