Las Piñas City Mayor Imelda Aguilar said the city was recognized as the “safest city” in the southern part of Metro Manila by the Southern Police District (SPD) for second consecutive year.
Aguilar said the SPD conferred the award to the City officials during the celebrations of the 122nd police service anniversary on Aug. 17 at the SPD headquarters in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.
She said the city was first recognized as the safest city during the 121st police service anniversary on Aug. 9, 2022.
The mayor thanked the hard work of the entire Las Piñas police under the leadership of Col. Jaime Santos for their dedication in maintaining peace and order in the city.
Aguilar said the recognition was based on the police's overall performance that yielded the least crime volume.
She said the city was able to get a higher score on categories for no street crime incidents, recorded heinous crimes, shooting incident; and the highest number of solution and clearance efficiency.
She added that police visibility, manned check points, and coordination of the barangay officials contributed to the efforts of the police force.
The mayor assured the full support of the local government unit to local police for them to continue making the city a peaceful place and protect the residents
