This year, police recorded an average of 981 crime incidents from January to August.

NCRPO said the continuous drop in crime rate is due to their intensified police intervention and campaign against illegal drugs and other crimes.

The public is also more vigilant nowadays, police added. -- Report from Michael Delizo, ABS-CBN News
