APPO to establish Comstat

By JESSIE L. REYES
KALIBO, AKLAN – The Aklan Provincial Police Office (APPO) will establish a Computer Driven Statistics (Comstat) in the Boracay Special Tourist Police Office (BSTPO) and the Kalibo Police Station.
With the Comstat, a database for crime incidences will be created to improve crime management.
“There is no such thing as crime incidence going down,” Police Provincial Director Benigno Durana Jr. said.
Durana added that Comstat is in line with the Philippine National Police’s (PNP) Integrated Transformation Program.
“This plan is implemented to improve PNP effectiveness by promoting transparency, improving human resource development and enhancing operational capabilities,” Durana said.
Despite the peace and order in the province, Durana said there is a need to intensify crime prevention programs.
APPO attained a high efficiency degree because of its strong public relation programs and rapport with government agencies.
Recently, the province’s august body gave the APPO financial support through Resolution No. 07-037.
