First week of September as Crime Prevention Week

This week is National Crime Prevention Week, and this is based on the calendar presented by the Department of Interior and Local Government. The setting of the week as a crime prevention week is in accordance with the Presidential Proclamation Number 461 issued August 31, 1994.

According to this presidential proclamation, the DILG and other government instrumentalities will make the first week of September as the National Crime Prevention Week. It is expected that this week, all government offices and instrumentalities will do its part and undertake projects and activities that can address and combat criminality in the country. It is expected too that the programs and projects that will be undertaken by government offices and departments will start from the grassroots level, and will involve the general public and the local execs. And finally, all these projects are also designed to build public commitment and participation. So the general public can expect greater actions and projects coming from different government instrumentalities, like DILG and all the projects and programs are designed to ensure that crimes can be lessened.
