Law Enforcement Administration
Law Enforcement Administration - the process involved in ensuring strict compliance,
proper obedience of laws and related statutes. Focuses on the policing process or how law
enforcement agencies are organized and manage in order to achieve the goals of law
enforcement most effectively, efficiently and productively.
Law - the system of rules that a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the
actions of its members and may enforce by the imposition of penalties.
Enforcement - means to compel obedience to a law, regulation or command.
Administration - an organizational process concerned with the implementation of objectives

and plans and internal operating efficiency. Connotes bureaucratic structure and behavior,
relative routine decision-making and maintenance of the internal order.
Sir Robert Peel - considered a "father of law enforcement".
Sir Robert Peels Nine Principles of Policing
1. The basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and
disorder.
2. The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon

public approval of police actions.
3. Police must secure the willing cooperation of the public in voluntary

observance of the law to be able to secure and maintain the
respect of the public.
4. The degree of cooperation of the public that can be secured

diminishes proportionally to the necessity of the use
of force.
5. Police seek and preserve public favor not by catering to public

opinion but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial
service to the law.
6. Police use physical force to the extent necessary to secure

observance of the law or to restore order only when
the expertise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be
insufficient.
7. Police at all time should maintain a relationship with the public that
gives reality to the historic tradition; the police are the public and
the public are the police. The police being only full time individuals
charged with the duties that are incumbent on all of the citizens.
8. Police should always direct their actions strictly towards their

functions and never appear to usurp the powers of the judiciary.
9. The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder

not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with it.
Administration of Police Organization

Police - one of the pillars of the criminal justice system that has the specific responsibility of
maintaining law and order and combating crime within the society.
- comes from Latin "politia"-civil administration which itself derives from the ancient Greek police
"city"
Administration - an organizational process concerned with the implementation of objectives and

plans and internal operating efficiency.
Organization - a group of persons working together for a common goal or objectives.
Police Organization - a group of trained personnel in the field of public safety administration
engaged in the achievement of goals and objectives that promotes the maintenance of peace and
order, protection of life and property, enforcement of the laws and the prevention of crimes.
Enforcement - means to compel obedience to a law, regulation or command.
Law Enforcement Agency - pertains to an organization responsible for enforcing the laws.
Objectives - refer to the purpose by which the organization was created. Refer to the goals
of the organization.
Supervision - means the act of watching over the work or tasks of the members of the organization
to ensure that desired results are achieved.
Management - the process of directing and facilitating the work of people organized in formal
groups in order to achieve objectives. Judicious or wise use of resources (manpower, material,
money,equipment,
supplies and time).
Hierarchy - represents the formal relationship among superiors and subordinates in any given
organization. Serves as the framework for the flow of authority downward and obedience upward,
through the department.
Authority - the right to command and control the behavior of employees in lower positions within an
organizational hierarchy. Must be viewed in terms of prescribed roles rather than of individuals.
A particular position within the organization. Carries the same regardless of who occupies that position.
Management/Administrative Functions
1. Planning
2. Organizing
3. Directing
4. Controlling
5. staffing
6. Reporting
7. Budgeting
Principles of efficient Management
* Division of work - work specialization can increase

efficiency with the same amount of effort.
* Authority and Responsibility- authority includes the

right to command and the power to require
obedience. One can not have authority without
responsibility.
* Discipline - necessary for an organization to function

effectively, however, the state of the disciplinary
process depends upon the quality of its leaders.
* Unity of Command - subordinate should receive

orders from one superior only.
* Scalar Chain - the hierarchy of authority is the order

of ranks from the highest to the lowest levels of the
organization. Shows the vertical hierarchy of the
organization which defines an unbroken chain of
units from top to bottom describing explicitly the
flow of authority.
Organizational Units in the Police Organization
1. Functional Units
Bureau - the largest organic functional unit within a

large department; comprised of several divisions.
Division - a primary subdivision of a bureau.

Section - functional unit within a division that is
necessary for specialization.
Unit - functional group within a section or the

smallest functional group within an organization.
2. Territorial Units
Post - a fixed point or location to which an officer is

assigned for duty.
Route - a length of streets designated for patrol

purpose, also called line beat.
Beat - an area designed for patrol purposes

whether foot or motorized.
Sector - an area containing two or more beat,

route or post.
District - a geographical subdivision of a city for

patrol purposes, usually with its own station.
Area - a section or territorial division of a large city

each comprised of designated districts.
EVOLUTION OF THE POLICING SYSTEM
ORIGIN OF THE WORD “POLICE”
POLITEIA – Greek word which means government of the city
POLITIA – Roman word which means condition of the state or government
POLICE – French word which was later adopted by the English language
THEORIES OF POLICE SERVICE

1. HOME RULE THEORY
- policemen are regarded as servants of the community, who rely
for the efficiency of their functions upon the express needs of
the people.
- policemen are civil servants whose key duty is the
preservation of public peace and security.
2. CONTINENTAL THEORY
- policemen are regarded as state or servants of the
higher authorities
- the people have no share or have little participation
with the duties nor connection with the police
organization.
CONCEPTS OF POLICE SERVICE
1. OLD CONCEPT
- police service gives the impression of being merely a
suppressive machinery
- this philosophy advocates that the measurement of
police competence is the increasing number of arrests,
throwing offenders in detention facilities rather than
trying to prevent them from committing crimes
2. MODERN CONCEPT
- regards police as the first line of defense of the
criminal justice system, an organ of crime prevention
- police efficiency is measured by the decreasing number
of crimes
- broadens police activities to cater to social services
and has for its mission the welfare of the individual
as well as that of the community in general.
EARLY POLICING SYSTEM
1. KIN POLICING
- the family of the offended individual was expected to
assume responsibility for justice
- the family of the victim was allowed to exact
vengeance
2. EGYPT
- ancient rulers had elite unit to protect them
- created the MEDJAYS, a form of police force whose
duties include guarding of the tombs and apprehending

VIGILES OF ROME, or VIGILES URBANI (watchmen of the
city), which had the primary task of firefighting and
policing
- the Vigiles acted as night watch, apprehendinng
thieves, keeping an eye out for burglars and hunting
down runaway slaves, and were on occasion used to
maintain order in the streets
- the Vigiles dealt primarily with petty crimes and
looked for disturbances of the peace while they
patrolled the streets
- created a special unit called PRAETORIAN GUARDS, a
special force of guards used by Roman Emperors as the
Emperors' personal guards
- as personal guards of the Emperor, their primary duty
was to protect the Emperor from assassination and
other forms of attack against the Emperor.
4. ENGLAND
a) FRANKPLEDGE SYSTEM/MUTUAL PLEDGE SYSTEM

of nine to form a TYTHING
- members of the tything are called a TYTHINGMEN
- a CONSTABLE served as a leader of ten tythings
- the primary task of the things was to protect their
village from thieves and animals
- tythings were later organized into SHIRES
- a shire was headed by a leader called SHIRE REEVE,
which is the origin of the word “sheriff”
- their duty was to apprehend offenders
b) PARISH CONSTABLES
- a parish official charged with controlling crimes
- appointed to serve for one year
- duties included organizing watchmen to guard the
gates
- during trouble, the watchman would raise a “HUE AND

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINE POLICING SYSTEM
The institution of police in the Philippines formally

started during the Spanish period. The establishment of

prevention nor peacekeeping. Rather, it was created as an
extension of the colonial military establishment.
Ancient Roots
The forerunner of the contemporary police system was the practice of barangay chieftains to select
able-bodied young men to protect their barangay
during the night and were not required to work
in the fields during daytime.Among the duties of
those selected were to protect the properties
of the people in the barangay and protect their
crops and livestock from wild animals.

History of Patrol
1. Ancient China - law enforcement was carried out by prefect.

Prefects were government officials appointed by local magistrates
who reported to higher authorities such as the governors who in
turn were appointed by head of state usually the emperor of the
dynasty.
2. Ancient Greece - publicly owned slaves were used by

magistrates as police.In Athens, a group of 300 Scythian slaves

3. Roman empire - the army rather than a dedicated police

organization provided security. Local watchmen were hired by
cities to provide some extra security.Magistrates such as

were protected by seven squads of 1000 men called vigiles who
acted as firemen and night watchmen. Their duties included
apprehending thieves and robbers and capturing run away slaves.
The vigiles were supported by the urban cohorts
who acted as a heavy duty riot force and praetorian guard if

2. The type of access necessary will depend upon a
number of variable factors and therefore may be
achieved in a number of ways.
3. There is no impenetrable barrier.
4. Security is built upon a system of defense in depth
resulting to accumulated delay time which may lead
to the apprehension of the intruder.

Natural barriers or features - such as cliffs,ravines,and rivers which delay or make more
difficult to entry of intruders.
Barriers - any line of boundary and separation,natural or artificial,places,or serving as

limitation or obstruction.Anything that bars,keep out,obstruct progress,or prevents
encroachment or intrusion.
Structural barriers - features constructed by man regardless of their original intent

that tends to delay the intruder.ex.walls,ceilings,locks,safe,windows.
Human barriers - guards,charges of quarters,office personnel,shop workers etc. who

stand between the intruder and the matter to be protected.
Animal barriers - usually guard dog.ex. trained German shepherds used as guards,goose,
and turkeys can also be included.
Energy barriers - usually electrical or electronics devices used to provide assistance to

guard personnel.ex. protective lightnings,antiintrusion devices.
Full view fence - it is designed primarily to prevent physical access between two areas.
Constructed in such a way that visual access is permitted through the fence.
Physical Security Features:

1.Natural barriers - natural terrains features must be
considered from the stand point of their values to
intruder as cover and concealment.Normally the
first type considered very often we have to accept
and work around them.
2.Fences
a. solid fence - one is constructed in such a way that
visual access through the fenced structure is
denied.
b. full view fence - constructed in such a way that
usual access is permitted through the fence.
Advantages of a full view fence

1. removing patrols and stationary guards are able to
keep area surrounding of the installation under
observation.
2. it does not create shadows which would provide
cover and concealment for the intruder.
Disadvantages of a full view fence

1. It allows visual access to the installation,its
personnel,its guard and its activities.
2. It allows the intruders to become familiar with the
movements and the time schedule of the guard
patrols thereafter allowing him to pick the time for
attempting penetration which would most
advantageous to the intruder.
Advantages of solid fence

1. Denies visual access of the installation of the
intruder.
2. Denies the opportunity for the intruder to become
familiar with the personnel,activities and the time
schedule of the movements of guards in the
installations.
Disadvantages of solid fence

1. It prevents the guards from observing the area
around the installation.
2. It creates shadows which may be used by the
intruder for cover and concealment.
Minimum acceptable requirements for fence used security barriers

1. Height - 8 feet at a minimum.
2. Slack at the bottom - not to exceed 2 inches.If the
fences are not tight then it should extend even
closer to the ground.
3. Wooden fence post - minimum horizontal dimension
of 4X4 inches.
4.Steel fence post - the round type should at least be
2 inches at the smallest diameter.
5. Fence post - should be set in concrete or in firm
soil using commercial drive anchors to a depth of 3
feet and the maximum distance post is 10 feet.

2. Driver pool - the most secure but the most
expensive.In this system,car is driven by qualified
driver employed by the installation from the
entrance to its destination and after the
conclusion of the business of the visitor.car is
driven back to the installations entrance.
3. Time travel - used in less sensitive installations
4. Grid system - a very complicated system.The
installation is divided into grid ad squares like a
