Tagaytay
City’s peace and order situation is safeguarded by the Philippine
National Police Force, which is under the Department of Interior
and Local Government. The total police force is composed of 2
officers, 55 non-officers and 1 non-uniform personnel. There are
seven (7) police headquarters strategically located in the busiest
parts of the city such as the Centrum in Barangay Kaybagal South,
Mahogany Market, City Market in Tolentino East, Barangay Mendez
Crossing West, Barangay Sungay West, Barangay Silang Crossing
East, and Barangay Dapdap West. Sustained maximum security for
the citizens is ensured through the 24-hour service.
For the
year 2007, only 99 crime incidents were recorded, 58 of which
were index crimes while the remaining are non-index crimes. Generally,
the city has a relatively low crime rate. This may be attributed
to the combined security effort of the local police force, the
Barangay Tanods and the Bantay Lungsod.
