Naitala ng Manila Police District (MPD) ang pagbaba ng mga insidente ng krimen sa Lungsod ng Maynila noong 2025 batay sa datos mula Enero hanggang Disyembre, kumpara sa kaparehong panahon noong 2024.
Ayon kay MPD District Director Brig. Gen. Arnold Abad, umabot sa 988 ang kabuuang bilang ng crime incidents noong 2025, mas mababa ng 10.83% mula sa 1,108 insidente na naitala noong 2024, batay sa tala ng District Investigation and Detective Management Division (DIDMD).
"Data further revealed that most major crime categories posted significant reductions, led by rape, which recorded the highest decrease at 20.68 percent-dropping from 203 cases in 2024 to 161 in 2025. This was followed by murder, which declined by 47.5 percent, from 80 to 42 incidents," pahayag ni Abad.
Dagdag pa ni Abad, "Theft cases decreased by 8.80%, from 420 to 383, while motorcycle carnapping dropped by 12.64%, from 87 to 76 incidents. Motor vehicle carnapping cases also went down by 40%, declining from 20 to 12, and robbery fell by 1.91%, from 157 to 154 cases.”

Samantala, bumaba rin ng 33.33% ang mga special complex crime, mula tatlong kaso noong 2024 ay naging dalawang kaso na lamang noong 2025.
Iniuugnay ni Abad ang pagbaba ng kriminalidad sa Maynila sa pagiging epektibo at dedikasyon ng MPD sa pagpapatupad ng Focused Agenda ng Philippine National Police (PNP), gayundin sa pinagsama-samang pagsisikap ng mga police station at yunit sa lungsod.
“It is clear from these numbers that our efforts are effective. This is the result of a stronger police presence, faster response times, and improved police-community relations, these were achieved through consistent implementation of crime prevention and law enforcement strategies on the ground,” ani Abad.
"The MPD assures the public that it will continue building on these gains and remains unwavering in its commitment to protect lives, uphold the law, and serving the Manileños with integrity and dedication," dagdag pa niya.
