More than 175,935 violators were apprehended for defying other ordinances such as obstruction and going half-naked in public.

Through its campaign against Local Communist Armed Conflict (LCAP), 39 rebels surrendered and were given P107,000 worth of financial assistance.

Meanwhile, the MPD had also initiated the construction of several precincts in the city, including Riverview, Paco, Padre Algue, and Sea Wall Police Community Precincts (PCPs).

Dizon also distributed new equipment and devices to MPD's 14 police stations, 43 PCPs, and 10 outposts.

“Ang mga ito ay mga naisakatuparan sa tulong ng mga nagtiwalang grupo, indibidwal, private organizations at ng lokal na pamahalaan ng Maynila sa buong pwersa ng MPD sa pamumuno ni Chief Dizon (These were carried out with the help of trusted groups, individuals, private organizations and the local government of Manila for the entire force of the MPD under the leadership of Chief Dizon),” MPD said.
