The Cagayan de Oro City Police Office (COCPO) appealed to the public for prompt crime reporting following a recent stabbing incident involving a police officer.
COCPO spokesperson Police Major Emilita Simon advised civilians against entering active crime scenes or hazardous security situations without law enforcement.
Instead, the official encouraged citizens to report suspicious activity via the 911 hotline or by contacting the nearest police station to ensure personal safety.
Police leadership emphasized that law enforcement efforts rely heavily on active community cooperation and information sharing.
