The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) said its intensified operations from Aug. 26 to Nov. 25 led to the arrest of 3,555 drug suspects and the seizure of around ₱112 million worth of illegal drugs.
The haul included 15.48 kilos of shabu and 8.05 kilos of dried marijuana.
Police also arrested 3,667 individuals with standing warrants, including 1,413 most wanted persons, while anti-gambling operations netted 5,134 suspects and nearly ₱947,000 in gambling paraphernalia and cash bets.
A total of 641 operations against loose firearms resulted in 655 arrests and the confiscation of 667 unlicensed guns. The NCRPO also logged nearly 3 million local-ordinance violators, generating ₱765 million in penalties.
Five cybercrime incidents were recorded during the period, with seven suspects arrested. The NCRPO said enhanced coordination and evidence-based case buildup under the EMPO system helped address online fraud and other tech-enabled offenses.
Crime indices showed notable declines, including murder (-32%), rape (-29%), and carnapping (-79%), while case-resolution efficiency reached over 72%. The NCRPO said these gains reflect stricter discipline, better resource management, and stronger community engagement across all five police districts.
