6.3.4. Peace and Security

6.3.4.1 Crime Incidence and Crime Solution Rate

The Peace and Order Index categorizes crime incidents that reflect the true
picture of crime and peace and order situation of a particular community. This
comprises the total Index and Non-Index Crimes. The Public Safety Index is a
classification created under the new policy, to provide a separate and distinct
accounting of vehicular incidents cases.

Index Crimes are crimes against person, crimes against property and special
complex crimes. The crimes against person and property consist of murder,
homicide, physical injury, rape, robbery, theft and carnapping while the special
complex crimes are rape with homicide, robbery with rape, homicide and serious
physical injury while the non-index crimes are violation of special laws, other non-
index crimes and frustrated/attempted stages.

The Public Safety Index is reckless imprudence resulting to homicide, physical

injury and damage to property.

The number of peace and order index increased by 7.92 percent from 6,883 in
2019 to 6,443 in 2020. For the year 2020, the total peace and order index of 13.26
percent were index crime while 86.74 percent were non-index crime. Of the 7,428
crime incidents, 7,196 were cleared, thereby attaining a 96.88 percent Crime
Clearance Efficiency, which increased by 1.33 percent from the recorded 2019
rate.

There were decreased of 8.24 percent in total public safety index from 279 in
2019 to 256 in 2020. The 262 incidents were cleared in 2019 and 244 in 2020
thereby recording a Crime Clearance Efficiency of 93.91 percent and 95.31
percent, respectively.

Crime incidence refers to the number of crime events that have occurred in a
given area. It shows that the highest number of crimes in 2020 happened in
Antipolo with 1,584, followed by Taytay with 1,040 and Rodriguez with 888 crime
incidence.

Crime clearance efficiency is the percentage of cleared cases out of the total
number of crime incidents while crime solution efficiency refers to the percentage
of solved cases out of the total number of crime incidents for a given period of
time.

The top five municipalities with the highest crime clearance efficiency rate were
the municipalities of Cardona (100%), Jalajala (100%), Teresa (100%), San Mateo
(99.5%) and Baras (99.2). On the other hand, Jalajala shows the highest crime
solution efficiency rate of 98.9 percent and Cardona got the lowest rate of 85.6
percent.

6.3.4.2 Peace and Order Index

Peace and order is one of the contributory factors for the socio-economic
development of the province. Among the municipalities, Antipolo, Rodriguez and
Taytay recorded the highest index crime and non-index crime volume both in 2019
and 2020. The population size of the city and municipalities may have contributed
to the high incidence of crime. Index crime rate from 2019 to 2020 decreased by
35 percent in Antipolo, 11 percent in Rodriguez and 34 percent in Taytay while
non-index crime in these city/municipalities also decreased by 20 percent, 14
percent and 34 percent, respectively. The reduction of crime can be attributed to
police presence in populated areas, conduct of check points and other police
operation and interventions.

6.3.4.3 Police Personnel and their Ratio to Population

Table shows decreasing number of police personnel from 2018 to 2020. In the
year 2018, the total number of police personnel was 1,722 which decreased to
1,591 or 7.61 percent from 2018 to 2019 and 1,485 or 6.7 percent decreased from
2019-2020. Antipolo, Cainta, Rodriguez and Taytay had been established with
the highest number of police personnel. Using the population projection for the
years 2018 and 2020, the ratio of police officers to population decreased as they
increased. Binangonan, Antipolo, Rodriguez and San Mateo had been posted to
have the highest number of population to serve in 2020 which are 4,409, 4,168,
3,895 and 3,457 respectively. This ratio to population of each municipality seems
still difficult to handle by one police only. The ideal police to population ratio is 1
police personnel to 500 persons and the minimum standard police to population
ratio is 1 police personnel to 1,000 persons.

Protecting the province better could be much easy if needed police personnel can
be provided. For the year 2020, there were still 1,881 police officers needed for
the whole province in order to achieve the standard ratio of 1 police officer to 1000
citizen.

6.3.4.4 Police Personnel Requirement

An estimated 3,330 police officers will be needed to serve and protect the
3,330,143 population of the province based on the minimum standard policeman
to population ratio of 1:1000. As of 2020 the province has population ratio of 1
police officer per 2,243 populations. The province needs additional 1,845 police
officers to meet the required minimum standard.

Among the municipalities/city of the province, Binangonan, Antipolo, Rodriguez,

San Mateo, Taytay and Cainta have the highest number of police personnel
needed in 2020. On the other hand the municipalities which will need the least
number of police personnel are Jalajala, Cardona, Morong, Pililla and Teresa.

The peace and order situation in the Province of Rizal remains normal and
peaceful due to the concerted efforts of the PNP-Rizal and the active support and
cooperation of the local government units, non-government organizations and the
populace to combat criminality and threat groups.

The PNP believes that crime prevention and control is a three-cornered job
involving the police and other law enforcement agencies, the civil and the
citizenry, thus the saying: “Public safety is everyone’s responsibility and crime
prevention is everybody’s mission.

In pursuit of a sustainable peace and order condition, PNP-Rizal has satisfactorily

implemented the community-oriented policing system to its city/municipal stations
with the active participation of the community. A glaring manifestation of this is
the creation of numerous citizens watch groups that support the anti-crime
campaign of Rizal PPO. Police visibility efforts, in coordination with concerned
private and non-government agencies have greatly contributed in the control and
prevention of crime throughout the province.

6.3.4.5 Fire Protection

The number of fire personnel in Rizal has decreased by 3.81 percent from 2017 to
2018 and increased by 21 percent from 2018 to 2019. Rizal needed 1,665
firefighters to bridge the shortage with regards to the ideal ratio of 1 firefighter per
2,000 citizens. All the towns in the province have fire station mostly located within
the municipal hall compound.

6.3.4.6 Fire Personnel Requirement

With regards to the number of firefighter requirement, Antipolo, Rodriguez, Cainta,

Taytay, Binangonan and San Mateo are the highest tabulated city/municipalities
which result maybe contributed by their high population. However the
municipalities with the least number of needed firefighters are Jalajala, Cardona,
Morong, Pililla and Teresa, which have the least population result tabulated.

The province needs 1665 firefighters to serve its estimated 3.33 million
populations.

6.3.4.7 Jail Services

Jail facilities are available in every city/municipalities in Rizal. The province also
manages the Rizal Provincial Jail located in Taytay. The most congested facilities
in Rizal are Cainta Male and Female Dormitory and the BJMP Teresa District Jail.
To help improve jail conditions, additional jail facilities must be constructed and to
help in decongesting the jail facilities there is a need to improve the case review
processes and proceedings. Allocation of budget for the operation of jail facilties
will improve the services by providing food, bunk beds and proper ventilation to
inmates.

6.3.4.8 Security Facilities Exposure and Risk to Flood

The police stations in the city and municipalities in Rizal are at risk when flood
comes in. The municipalities that will be affected which are considerably with very
high exposure to flooding are Angono, Cainta, San Mateo and Taytay. These
municipalities though with very high exposure to hazard are at moderate risk.

Fire stations within very high susceptibility are located in Cainta, San Mateo and
Taytay and considered at moderate risk having risk score ranging from 5 to 12.

Key Challenges and Constraints

The peace and order situation in the Province of Rizal remains normal and
peaceful due to the concerted efforts of the PNP-Rizal and the active support and
cooperation of the local government units, non-government organizations and the
populace to combat criminality and threat groups.

The PNP believes that crime prevention and control is a three-cornered job
involving the police and other law enforcement agencies, the civil and the
citizenry, thus the saying: “Public safety is everyone’s responsibility and crime
prevention is everybody’s mission.

In pursuit of a sustainable peace and order condition, PNP-Rizal has satisfactorily

implemented the community-oriented policing system to its city/municipal stations
with the active participation of the community. A glaring manifestation of this is
the creation of numerous citizens watch groups that support the anti-crime
campaign of Rizal PPO. Police visibility efforts, in coordination with concerned
private and non-government agencies have greatly contributed in the control and
prevention of crime throughout the province.

The PNP still need continuous training of its personnel on crime investigation and
search and training. To improve further its performance in solving criminality and
responding to disaster operations, they should be provided with investigative
equipment such as camera, computer/laptop, with communication equipment such
as base and handheld radios, repeaters and with search and rescue equipment
like rubber boat, wet suit, life vest and utility rope.

Fire fighters deal with several challenges, responding not only to fire incidents but
also to natural and man-made calamities. Rizal has only 285 fire fighters and will

need additional 1,380 fire personnel to serve the 3.33 million residents of the
province. There is a need to hire fire personnel and provided them with fire
fighting equipment or personnel protective equipment (PPE) which include
helmets and boots. Lack of fire fighting equipment put the lives of fire fighters at
risk every time they go out in the field. Continuous capacity building must also be
provided to the fire personnel and volunteer fire fighters so as to improve and
have better cooperation in times of need.

Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management officers need to provide

adequate and prompt assessment of needs and damages in time of disasters.
Though the province has high level of preparedness, it still need to improve
mechanisms on communication and warning, search and rescue, evacuation,
relief operations, transportation and medical health services. Awareness on the
threats and impacts of all types of hazards must also be provided through
Instructional, educational and communication (IEC) materials.

To attain the ideal jail capacity of 1:30 inmates, construction of additional facilities
are needed. The rehabilitation and renovation of jail facilities will also improve
conditions of the inmates. Facilitation of cases in a timely manner will also help
decongest the detention facilities in the province.
