Notes: (1) In 2009, PNP has implemented a new crime reporting system wherein the crime data for 2009 was set as the baseline for future research, study and comparison. Hence, crime statistics in 2009 cannot be compared with those crime data obtained during the previous years (2008 and earlier) as the parameters are no longer the same.

(2) Crime Solution Efficiency (CSE) is defined differently from old CSE which is currently known as Crime Clearance Efficiency (CCE). With the implementation of the new crime reporting system in 2009, solved cases now include those which were filed with the prosecutor's office or proper court with at least one of the suspects arrested.

(3) The figures were interpolated from 2000-based population projections.
