ENDORSING NAPOLCOM FORM 24 AS THE
STANDARD DATA
REPORTING FORM ON CRIMES IN
REGION I
WHEREAS,
the Regional Knowledge Center for Women and
Children (RKCWC) in Region 1 was established in
2001 to improve access to information on women
and children, by establishing an improved system
of data collection, storage, processing, and
interpretation for policy-makers to use in their
decision-making, social mobilization and
advocacy and resource allocation;
WHEREAS,
the NSCB Regional Division (RD) I, the
administrator of the RKCWC, needs to build-up
its database and library holdings to ensure the
availability of comprehensive and updated
data/publications/materials on women and
children at the RKCWC;
WHEREAS,
crimes data, specifically the nature, causes and
volume, are one of the indicators needed in the
RKCWC which are substantial for National
Government Agencies, Local Government Units and
Non-Government Organizations in the planning,
policy-formulation and evaluation of current
programs that would address the crime problems
in the region;
WHEREAS,
data on crimes are generated by the Philippine
National Police (PNP), Department of Social
Welfare and Development (DSWD), and the
Commission on Human Rights (CHR) as a by-product
of their administrative functions;
WHEREAS,
it was observed that crimes data
among the PNP, CHR, and DSWD maybe duplicated
resulting to the over coverage of crime
statistics when data from these agencies are
consolidated;
WHEREAS,
the Regional Knowledge Network Committee (RKNC),
being the venue to discuss and resolve issues on
women and children, created a Technical Working
Group (TWG), composed of the NSCB, NEDA, PNP,
CHR and DSWD, to validate the issue on
duplication and over coverage of crime data
among PNP, DSWD and CHR;
WHEREAS,
the RKNC TWG validated the issue
by matching the data from the three agencies
using names of victims and studied the data
reporting forms used by the three agencies;
WHEREAS,
results of the TWG study revealed the
duplication of data among the three agencies
resulting to bloated crime statistics in the
region when their data were consolidated, the
limited data generated from the forms and the
dissimilarity of forms being used by the three
agencies;
WHEREAS,
the NSCB suggested an evaluation
of the various crimes data reporting forms,
including the form used in the National Crime
Information System (NSIC), during the April 2006
RSCC meeting;
WHEREAS,
the results of the RKNC TWG
meeting on May 19, 2006 revealed that the
NAPOLCOM Form 24, the Complaint Standard
Reporting Form prepared and formulated by the
Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG),
National Police Commission and the PNP, was more
extensive in scope compared to the other data
reporting forms on crimes, including the NCIS
form, and is currently used in all PNP Women and
Children Community Desks (WCCDs);
WHEREAS,
per recommendation during the said RKNC TWG
meeting and the June 14, 2006 1st

be endorsed to the RSCC as the standard
reporting form on crimes in Region I;
