Purpose

This Action Plan prescribes the guidelines and procedures relative to the
conduct of coordinated anti-crime approach by all sectors concerned purposely to
address all forms of criminal activities particularly Robbery and Theft in the City of
Dasmariñas, Cavite.
Situation
Robbery (with Intimidation) and Theft (Snatching/Pickpocket/Salisi) are the
most prevailing incidents in the City of Dasmariñas, Cavite, in which the victims are
either divested of their personal property thru the use of deadly weapon or simply
victimized by a pickpocket or “salisi” in a crowded area, or by snatching of personal
belonging while victim is in a moving motor vehicle. All these types of “modus
operandi” were already brought into the attention of potential victims and
stakeholders during series of information campaign conducted in the campuses and
selected communities, however, such incidents continue to exist thereby
necessitates a systematic approach to address the problem vis-à-vis with other
sectors in the City.
The vast increase of population, as against depleted number of ill-equipped
police personnel, is one of the contributing factors in the proliferation of crime in
the locality.
Therefore the support and cooperation of all sectors concerned are extremely
necessary to address these concerns.
Mission
Concurrent with its mission and functions, and in coordination with the Local
Government Units (LGUs), the League of Barangays, the Civilian Volunteers
Organizations (CVOs), other law enforcement agencies and Non-Governmental
