The Police Regional Office-Davao (PRO-11) seized over P9 million worth of illegal drugs in 308 anti-drug operations across the region in November.

In a statement Wednesday, PRO-11 Director Brig. Gen. Leon Victor Rosete said the operations resulted in the arrest of 367 suspects and the confiscation of 1.33 kg of shabu worth P9.07 million and 37 grams of marijuana worth P112,641.20.

Of the total suspects apprehended, 48 are high-value individuals, some of whom are in the top 10 at the regional level, and 319 street-level individuals, Rosete said.

He said the operations reflected the police’s recalibrated anti-drug roadmap, which balances intensified enforcement with the upholding of human rights.

“The organization remains steadfast in its mission to foster drug-free communities and urges citizens to remain vigilant by reporting any information on illegal drug activities to the authorities.,” Rosete said.
