Col. Jean Fajardo, spokesperson for the PNP, said there was a continuing decline in peace and order indicators, particularly index crimes, which dropped from 20,657 in January to June 2022 to 18,560 in the same period this year.The figures, however, do not include cybercrimes, which have reached an all-time high, prompting the PNP to consider lumping them among the major crimes to better address them.
“We are now conducting a study to determine if these cybercrime-related activities could be included in our index crimes,” Fajardo told reporters.
