Based on the latest survey of the National Police Commission, the Muntinlupa City Police Station ranked second as most trusted and respected station in the National Capital Region, the city government said Monday.

Among 570 respondents surveyed under the jurisdiction of the five police districts in the NCR, 66.7 percent “trust and respect” Muntinlupa police, trailing only the Pasay City police at 83.3 percent.

The cities of Mandaluyong, Navotas, Malabon and Pateros, Caloocan, Pasig, Taguig and Makati, Manila, Valenzuela, Parañaque, and Quezon City followed Muntinlupa in the survey.

The Napolcom survey also revealed the Southern Police District is the most trusted police district in Metro Manila, in terms of response to police matters. The Manila Police District came in next followed by the Eastern Police District, Northern Police District, and the Quezon City Police District.

In the ranking on response and accessibility, Muntinlupa placed third, trailing Las Piñas and Mandaluyong.

The National Capital Region Police Office’s public trust and respect rating rose by 1.22 percent, as well as its level of public safety (by 13.4 percent) and crime reporting from the public (19.8 percent), the survey added.

Muntinlupa Public Information Officer Tez Navarro said the public’s confidence in their local police station can be attributed to the community’s participation in the city’s peace and order efforts.

Navarro noted the involvement of the public in heralding safe communities “boosts the people’s positive perception towards the local station as they work closely with local policemen.” This participation has been concentrated on Muntinlupa’s crackdown against illegal drugs.

As of January 22, Muntinlupa Police recorded 9,383 drug surrenderers with 16,261 houses visited and 528 persons arrested.

Mayor Jaime Fresnedi urged local police stations to continue with their prompt service and improve their performance for the safety of their constituents.
