PREFACE The Statistical Yearbook 2018 of Royal Bhutan Police is the 7th edition of its kind, which is published annually. The main purpose of the Statistical Yearbook is to provide in a single volume a comprehensive compilation of available statistics on crime in the country registered with the Royal Bhutan Police. Ever since the compilation of data for the Statistical Yearbook series was initiated in 2012, improvements are consistently made to enhance its contents and coverage. The new data relating to criminal offences and Royal Bhutan Police are added as and when available. Most of the statistics presented in the yearbook are extracted from more detailed database maintained by Crime and Operations Branch. The Crime and Operations Branch collects statistics from various field Divisions and Police Stations in the country, which are further verified for publication. Thimphu Traffic Division, Fire Service Division, and Private Arms Licensing Unit have also contributed their statistics for the publication. We expect that the data in the yearbook will serve as the principal source of information for planners, policy makers, researchers and academicians. More importantly, it is expected that the officers and men of RBP to plan and guide their policing actions to further reduce and prevent crime in future will use statistics in this publication. Through this initiative, we also hope that the maintenance of information and updates will become more systematic and efficient. We expect that there may be certain deficiencies in terms of content and coverage. However, continuous efforts will be made to improve its content, coverage and quality in the future publications. Any comments and suggestions in this regard will be highly appreciated. Chimi Dorji Chief of Police RBP HQ, Thimphu i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We would like to express the deepest appreciation to the Chief of Police for the singular opportunity, encouragement, moral support and guidance in bringing out the Statistical Yearbook. Without his constant guidance and help, this Statistical Yearbook would not have been possible. Furthermore, we would also like to acknowledge the support of the Deputy Chief of Police (Crime and Operations Branch) and the staff of Crime and Operations Branch in providing the necessary required information in time to complete this Statistical Yearbook of Royal Bhutan Police. We also would like to extend our sincere thanks to the other officers for making contributions in shaping this Statistical Yearbook and making it worthy of publishing. We also solicit our readers’ valuable comments and suggestions to help improve the Statistical Yearbook of Royal Bhutan Police in the future.
