Problem:

1. What is the rate of the police to population ratio?

Answer:
The Police to population ratio will be determined using this formula, to wit;
Population divided by PNP Personnel strength equals to ratio
Thus, 1,632,991 ÷ 1,890 = 864
Therefore, the police to population ratio is 1 PNP: 864

2. What is the percentage decrease in the crime volume from 2016 to 2017?
Answer:
The percentage decrease in crime volume between years 2016 and 2017 as per data
available will be determined using this formula, to wit;
Previous Crime Volume – Present Crime Volume = Variance
Variance ÷ Previous CV x 100%
Where the Crime Volume for year 2016 is 10,269 while 7576 for year 2017
Thus, 10,269 – 7576 = 2,693;
2,693 ÷ 10,269 = 0.2622 x 100% = 26.22%
Therefore, the percentage decrease of crime volume between years 2017
and 2016 is 26.22%

3. What is the percentage of the above recorded crime distribution in the two
comparative years?
Answer:
The percentage between two comparative years is shown in table below using this
formula;
Previous Crime Rate – Recent Crime Rate;
The difference will be divided by Previous Crime Rate, then multiply to 100%

Comparative Crime Distribution 2016 2017 Variance %

Murder 120 65 55 45.83

Homicide 350 250 100 28.57

Robbery 65 25 40 61.53

Theft 175 85 90 51.42

Rape 5 2 3 60

 Where, Index Crime Rate of 2016 is 2,617 while the Index Crime Rate of 2017 is
1,588
Thus, 2,617 – 1,588 = 1,029
1,029 ÷ 2,617 = 0.3931 x 100% = 39.31%
Therefore, there is decrease of 39.31% in index crime rate of 2017 as compared
to year 2016.

While in 2016, the Non Index Crime Rate is 7,652 and in year 2017 the Non Index
Crime is 5,988.
Thus, 7,652 – 5,988 = 1664
1,664 ÷ 7,652 = 0.2174 x 100% = 21.74%
Therefore, there is decrease of 21.74% in Non Index Crime of 2017 as compared
to year 2016

4. What is the solution efficiency of the Davao City Police Office?

Answer: The crime solution efficiency of Davao City Police Office will be determined
using this formula, to wit;
Formula: Crime Solution Efficiency (CSE) = Total Crime Solve (CS) x 100%
Total Crime Volume (CV)

WHERE:

Crime Solve for 2016 is 10,000 while;

Crime volume for 2016 is 10,269
Thus, CSE = 10,000 x 100%
10,269
= 0.9738 x 100%
= 97.38%

Crime Solve for 2017 is 7,500 while;

Crime Volume for 2017 is 7,576
Thus, CSE = 7,500 x 100%
7,576
= 0.9899 x 100%
= 98.99 %
Thus, the variance is (98.99% - 97.38%) 1.61%.
Therefore, there is an increase of 1.61% in Crime Solution Efficiency in year
2017 as compared to year 2016.

5. Based on the findings, correlate the crime rate with the police to population
ratio?
Answer: Based on the findings, the police to population ratio of Davao City Police
Office is EFFECTIVE as crime prevention and crime solution strategy considering that
the crime volume of year 2016 decreases by 26.22% as compared to the crime
volume of 2017. Further, it was also shown that the crime solution efficiency of year
2017 increases by 1.61% as compared to year 2016.
