The Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) reported the arrest of nearly 11,000 wanted, confiscated more than 1,400 loose firearms, and seized PHP3.3 billion worth of evidence in anti-crime operations in 2024.
In celebration of its 72nd anniversary at Camp Crame, CIDG chief Brig. Gen. Nicolas Torre III highlighted the accomplishments of the unit’s over 13,000 law enforcement operations in the past year.
These include Oplan Pagtugis, Oplan Salikop, Oplan Paglalansag Omega, Oplan Bolilyo, Oplan Megashopper, Oplan Lira, Oplan Kalikasan, and several others aimed at capturing criminal suspects across the country.
It note that a total of 13,349 law enforcement operations were conducted last year that resulted in the arrest of 10,797 wanted persons, seizure of 1,439 loose firearms, and confiscation of PHP3,361,432,558.24 worth of evidence.
The CIDG solved 2,729 cases in 2024, and maintained high efficiency in addressing crimes with 99.50 percent recorded for the crime clearance efficiency and 85.92 percent for crime solution efficiency, Torre added.
Due to the upcoming midterm elections, the CIDG is confiscating unregistered firearms "in full blast" amid the ongoing gun ban. Torre said the CIDG would continue to refine and implement strategies to enhance its relevance and effectiveness in law enforcement.
He added that they would also strengthen inter-agency cooperation with law enforcement partners, local government units, and international organizations to tackle transnational crimes and foster seamless intelligence sharing.
