PNP: Over 100K personnel to be deployed for Christmas 2025
More than 100,000 personnel, including an additional 30,000 augmentation units, will be deployed by the Philippine National Police (PNP) for the Christmas and New Year holidays.
This represents an increase from the 60,000 personnel deployed last year.
The PNP will be on heightened alert starting December 16, coinciding with the Simbang Gabi masses, and will move to full alert status as Christmas and New Year approach.
Key focuses of the PNP's intensified operations include cracking down on online scams and the illegal sale of firecrackers during this period.
This increased police visibility is a strategy based on an almost 13% decline in focus crimes from October to November.
