DILG Launches Filipinos to "Feel Safer" with New 911 Police Program

Press Briefing of the Department of the Interior and Local Government at the Quezon City Police District, Camp Karingal, Quezon City, Monday, May 26, 2025. The Philippine DILG is launching a "Police Disability Program" to improve public safety and align police performance with citizens' sense of security. Key initiatives include a unified 9-1-1 system for faster response, new police performance metrics focusing on public safety perception, enhanced technology like a central criminal database, increased police visibility, and stronger LGU collaboration. This aims to bridge the gap between declining crime statistics and the public's feeling of insecurity, with noticeable improvements expected within three months.
