Public security has direct impact on the growth and development of the province and the region. A peaceful and orderly situation in the province can attract more investors and stimulate businesses that can bolster the economic status. This calls for an effective and fair administration and enforcement of laws. The Provincial Government, a staunch advocate of peace and order in the province, has always been supportive of, and even initiates, peace-related programs and activities through the Provincial Peace and Order Council. The Council has implemented plans, policies, programs and have established a monitoring and evaluation system for it to significantly address pressing problems on criminality, insurgency and other forms of public disorder. It was also established that an information system which can give timely and reliable data is a very effective tool in the administration of public order, including the enforcement of laws.
This chapter presents provincial data on crimes and public safety, number of police, and cases against women and youthful offenders. The data source for this chapter is the Philippine National Police Provincial Command.
