No Contact Apprehension Quezon City: What you Need to Know

No Contact Apprehension Program (NCAP) implementation in Quezon City will start effective July 01, 2022. I know a lot of you are still not familiar with the program. What does NCAP mean and how does it work? We will be discussing all your frequently asked questions here.

What is No Contact Apprehension Program (NCAP)?

No Contact Apprehension Program (NCAP) is the term for catching traffic violations without the necessity for actual arrest by law enforcement. The City Government will use traffic enforcement cameras and other surveillance tools to continuously monitor the main highways in Quezon City. The technology will record the license plates of vehicles whose drivers break traffic laws.

The local government will deliver the Notice of Violation (NOV) to the offender’s home. It will be sent via registered mail, a city-employed process server, or a private courier. The NOV shall be given to registered owners of vehicles whose residences are in Quezon City within fourteen (14) working days of the traffic violation’s commission. For registered vehicle owners who don’t live in Quezon City, the delivery of the NOV may take longer than fourteen (14) working days from the time the traffic infraction was committed.
