Crime Index & Safety Index of Davao

* According to NUNBEO.COM, the world's largest database of user contributed data about cities and countries worldwide,
DAVAO is one and only metropolitan city in the Philippines which is comparable with other worlds safest cities.

Central 911 (Central Communications and Emergency Response Center)

The same 911 service as Americas and Canadas!

By dialing 911, residents needing assistance can immediately
summon responders to the scene of emergency !
The Central 911 was officially launched in September 2002 to address
emergency calls for criminal incidents needing police assistance and
now it also caters to emergency medical services, urban search and
rescue operations, fire auxiliary services, and K-9 units.
Davaos 911 service simplified the emergency process by integrating
all the governments emergency response resources (ambulance,
rescue technicians, firefighters, K-9, and the police) into one.

Anti Smoking Ordinance

A Filipino holding a cigarette while walking past a child?
You cannot see the guy like him in Davao city!
Davaos original Comprehensive Anti-Smoking Ordinance which was enacted
in 2002 has been implemented until now.
Davao was named the 1st 100% smoke-free metropolitan in Asean country
by the Southeast Asia Tobacco Control Alliance in 2013.
The case study for Davao cirys smoke-free agendas was published by WHO.
(http://www.who.int/kobe_centre/publications/smokefree_case_study_davao_city/en/)

If you really need to smoke, you will have to do it in your place of residence
or a designated smoking area.

Davaos 7 Eleven doesnt sell cigarettes!

Speed Limit Ordinance / Honest Taxi drivers

Speeding, overtaking, and racing have been rarely seen on the
streets of Davao
since drivers in Davao can only go as fast as 30 kph downtown,
and a maximum of 60 kph in the city borders because of the speed limit ordinance.
About 20 percent decrease in the minor road accidents
and 60 percent decrease in fatal road accidents was reported
a year after the implementation of the ordinance,
and the city has been much safer now.

In Davao city, taxi drivers are prohibited from doing contract fares.
Instead, fares are based on meters which gives passengers more security.
Drivers who violate this are to be penalized with fines amounting to P5,000.

In fact, the city is know for having the friendliest, most honest, and most courteous
taxi drivers
and Davao Citys government and local police awarded 19 taxi drivers for returning
valuable items left behind by their passengers.

Liquor Restriction / Firecracker Ban

The curfew in selling and serving alcoholic beverages

(from 1:00 AM to 8:00 AM) took effect in 2013.
This ordinance was designed to reduce accidents and crimes caused by
alcohol intoxication.
As a result, the ordinance has reduced the number of drunkards walking in the
streets in the wee hours, which is why walking in Davao city streets at night is
significantly safer than in other cities!

Firecracker is totally banned in Davao.

So you can enjoy safe New years Eve, or have a
good night sleep instead, not being disturbed by
the noise like firecracker.

Here in Davao, you can join the annual Davao

Torotot Festival, with the sound of hundreds of
blazing trumpets being a worthy successor of
firecrackers.
