Safeguarding the city’s thriving tourism industry, the Olongapo City Police concentrated its efforts in police-visibility operations to ensure the safety of visitors and deter criminal acts. Besides foot patrols, policemen and barangay tanods manned police-visibility points established in critical areas.

This office has solved two murder cases, three homicides, 12 physical injuries, nine rape cases, nine robberies and five theft cases.

The Olongapo City Police implemented surprise inspections of entertainment areas, dubbed "Oplan Bakal," and recovered eight loose firearms.

In compliance to the Philippine National Police chief’s call for the eradication of illegal gambling, it conducted 10 operations wherein nine people were arrested for carrying bladed weapons, five for violation of Republic Act 7610, or child abuse, and 23 others for related cases.

In its campaign on anti-illegal drugs, it initiated 67 drug operations resulting in the arrest of about 112 suspected drug users/pushers and confiscation of 115.16 grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride, or "shabu," and 2.349 kilograms of marijuana with a value of P238,888.71.

It filed 68 cases at different courts in this city.

The office has been actively involved in drug-demand reduction operations through coordinated efforts with the barangay antidrug-abuse councils.

It also implemented a distinguished visitors program by designating its headquarters and police precincts as "visitor-friendly" areas that welcomed and entertained everyone with utmost courtesy. Time and again, superiors advised all employees to go out of their way to assist people in need of police services
