Metro Cebu police officials plan to consolidate their information on major robberies in the region into a single database as a step to eliminate robbery syndicates in Cebu.
The plan, dubbed "No Borders", was brought up by Lapu-Lapu City Police Director Senior Supt. Anthony Obenza, in light of the murder of an ex-Kuratong Baleleng member, his live in partner and their three-year-old son last week.
Obenza said the idea of creating a consolidated major crime database came up during a meeting with the provincial and city commanders of Metro Cebu last week.
He said that aside form Lapu-Lapu City, the cities of Cebu and Mandaue were also affected by major robbery incidents in the past year.
With the database, police chiefs in Metro Cebu can share information on different robbery cases in their areas.
The information will be organized into files, which could be accessed through the database.
While the police stations will provide the data, the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) Theft and Robbery Section (TRS) will organize it, Obenza said.
He said the organized data can be used as a reference for future incidents.
Obenza said they were able to come up with "No Borders" during a seminar on major crime case management in Manila earlier this year.
Also, the "No Borders" plan may improve police coordination on major crime incidents as police offices in other areas in Metro Cebu can help in solving crimes committed outside their jurisdiction.
