Roxas wants 'Oplan
Lambat-Simbat' operational in NCR, R3, R4-A by June 2015
Interior
and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas on Tuesday ordered a reinvigorated and
speedy implementation of “Oplan Lambat-Simbat”, giving a deadline of until
middle of 2015 to put the program in operation in at least three largest
regions in the country.
Roxas,
during a command conference at the Philippine National Police (PNP)
Headquarters in Camp Crame, said he wanted “Oplan Lambat-Sibat (to be) cascaded
in three largest regions in the country by middle of the year.”
Oplan
Lambat-Sibat has been operational for 37 weeks in NCR. What they have learned
here to be shared to Regions 3 and 4A.
Oplan
Lambat-Sibat is a reinvigorated crime prevention effort using “deliberate,
programmatic and sustained” police operations such as Checkpoint, Oplan
Bakal-Sita, Mobile Patrol, Beat Patrol and Oplan Bulabog supported by
scientific crime reporting from the Police Community Precincts (PCPs), to the
stations, to the districts up to the National Capital Region Police Office
(NCRPO) and solving them based on statistics.
Roxas
instructed the Police Directorate for Investigation and Detective Management
(DIDM) and the Directorate for Operations (DO) to be on top of putting the best
practices together and compile them in an Instruction Manual including
everything that the PNP had done in terms of crime prevention and solution over
the last 37 weeks.
“We
don’t want them [regions] to start from scratch. We have learned so many
lessons from June 16 to today. What we have learned here in the last eight and
half months can be cascaded in other parts of the country,” he explained.
Roxas
said Oplan Lambat-Sibat have successfully stabilized the robbery and theft
incidents in Metro Manila including the carnapping of motorcycles and vehicles
as reflected in the weekly crime report from June 2014 to present, thus giving
the national police to deflect its focus on murder and homicide.
He
expressed concern that from an average of 25 murder-homicide incidents in
January this year, the incident had grown to 37 towards the end of February to
March.
In line
with this, Roxas instructed Police Director General Francisco Don Montenegro,
director for DIDM to conduct a study that will focus only on murder-homicide
incidents in Metro Manila.
“Let’s
go back to these murders and figure out ano ba, is this criminal and criminal
na nag-away over turf, over money, over utang? That’s one kind of
murder-homicide, another is family sa family and another kind is where you have
higher chance of success,” he said. #
