Police officials from Cagayan de Oro City Police Office (Cocpo), over the weekend, issued an appeal to Internet users to stop posting that the city is not safe place to live-in considering that crime rate has plunged.

Cocpo spokesperson Supt. Mardy Hortillosa, II said any information posted on the Internet or any social media should be based on facts and its basis must come official sources.

“Basi sa record sa Cocpo nga ang krimen sa syudad sama sa krimen batok sa tawo ug sa kabtangan miubos kaayo sa 2018 kumpara sa 2017,” he said.

Hortillosa said Cocpo Acting-City Police Director Sr. Supt. Nelson Aganon appealed to Internet users not to post on facebook or any social media account anything that present Cagayan de Oro as a dangerous place.

“Ang Cocpo ubos sa liderato ni Aganon naghangyo nga dili nato ipakita sa tibuok nasud ug kalibutan nga ang dakbayan dilikado na kaayo pinaagi sa pagpost sa (Facebook) kay once mabasahan kini sa mga langyaw ug dili taga CDO, ilang mabati nga dilikado ang syudad ug makaapekto kini sa atong ekonomiya ug reputasyon,” he said.

He also said Cocpo is now appealing to the local residents or visitors to immediately report to any local police station any crime incident that took place so they could respond immediately.

“Dili sila moeport sa lain lain tao kay kami ra gihapon magsulbad niana ug dali masulbad ang krimen kung mareport kini dayon. Tabangan unta ninyo ang inyong kapulisan sa pagpatunhay sa kalinaw ug dili tabangan ninyo ug guba gumikan lang kay nabiktima kamo ug inyong pamilya sa krimen,” he pointed out.

Base on Cocpo record crime against persons dove from 304 crimes incidents on 2017 compared to only 236 crime incidents on the same period in 2018 from the month of January to June.
