Based on data from Police Regional Office-6 (PRO-6), the Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) made the most illegal drug-related arrests in the region.

BCPO spokesperson, Police Senior Inspector Armilyn Vargas, said a total of 254 drug personalities were arrested between December 5, 2017 and May 14, 2018.
Fifty of the arrested individuals were identified as high-value drug targets or street-level drug targets, while the remaining 204 were either not listed or newly-identified drug personalities.
Vargas pointed out, the success of the city’s police was a result of more intensified anti-illegal drugs campaign.8
