Status of Implementation and Program/Project Evaluation and Assessment

I. On-going Operational Plans and Programs and Accomplishments

A. Crime Prevention

The PNP vigorously pursued its operational programs with the implementation
of LOI 63/2010 Police Integrated Patrol System (PIPS) dated November 27, 2010
directing all units to enhance crime prevention and solution. The LOI calls for the
pursuit and intensification of high police visibility (foot and mobile patrols), anti-
criminality and police security operations, Oplan Bakal/Sita (campaign against
motorcycle-riding criminals), and other police interventions.

LOI 45/2011 “Patrulya Ng Pulis” dated October 26, 2011 directs all PNP units
to deploy uniformed personnel assigned to administrative functions to perform limited
beat patrol duties, in addition to their usual tasks, for maximum police visibility as
well as to intensify law enforcement operations, anti-criminality campaign and public
safety services. The deployment of administrative personnel for beat patrol duties
increased police presence on the streets which contributed to the decrease in crime
incidents.
The PNP, through its intensified anti-criminality efforts has contributed in the
notable decrease of 24,176 or 9.99% in the Total Crime Volume (TCV) reported from
241,988 in 2011 to 217,812 in 2012. There is a 1.99% reduction in the Average

recorded.

Groups (PAGs), and accounting of loose firearms, provides strategic direction and
supervision to all PNP units on matters of police operations. Likewise, NTF SAFE

II. Project Evaluation and Assessment

In 2012, the PNP through the DO conducted an evaluation on the Police

Integrated Patrol System (PIPS), the crime prevention program of the PNP. Recent
incidents that were much publicized by the media left a perception to the public that
there is an increase in the number of index and non-index crimes as well as those
perpetrated by criminal gangs, organized crime groups and high-profile criminals.
However, it must be noted that the statistics shows otherwise.
The implementation of the Police Integrated Patrol System as one of the
strategic initiatives by the PNP has greatly contributed to the decrease of the AMCR
and the AMICR. This was achieved through focused operations and intensified anti-
criminality efforts with the implementation “Patrulya Ng Pulis” as well as in pursuing
law enforcement initiatives.
A concerted effort in the implementation of PIPS resulted in the decrease of
crimes. But based on the 2012 assessment, there are other aspects in crime
prevention which were overlooked particularly in law enforcement and community
partnership. Thus, there is a need to further enhance the capabilities of the police
stations to maximize its implementation and strict adherence to the guidelines
making it more effective in preventing crimes

With the issuance of the CMC No. 03-12 “SMS Verification of Firearms” dated
December 11, 2012, PNP MC 2012-016 “Revised Guidelines in the Annual
Verification of Firearms” dated November 28, 2012 and the crafting of the PNP
PATROL Manual, the reduction of the crimes perpetrated by motorcycle-riding
criminals, reduction of street crimes, reduction of incidents involving the use of
firearms and the recovery of loose firearms will be realized. Moreover, the crafting of
the PNP Patrol Manual will provide guidelines in the conduct of patrol operations
which will set the limits and will direct the mindset of the personnel to be consistent
with the patrol objectives.

The Handbook on Personal Security for Candidates of Elective Position and

the PNP Primer on Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on the Ban on Firearms and
Security Personnel were likewise issued to support the other initiatives reflected in
the DO Scorecard. The performance of the initiatives PIPS and Patrulya ng Pulis will
entail the amount of Php 684,359,887.00 FY 2013.

For the initiative Standardization of Systems and Procedures, different

Technical Working Groups were created to review and revise the Police Operational
Procedures and the integration of Letter of Instructions “Bilang Boga” and “Kontra
Boga” into one Command Memorandum Circular.

To keep pace with the emerging crime situations in the country, the
Directorate for Operations is currently conducting inventory of the operational
issuances and revising its anti-criminality initiatives which will have a direct impact on
the community. The operational issuances that are being reviewed are the
campaign plans on loose firearms, the localized anti-criminality plan, and campaign
against kidnapping, hijacking and carnapping.

With the publication and implementation of this PNP Patrol Manual/Handbook,

police visibility as a crime prevention strategy will be greatly improved; standard
operational systems and procedures will be institutionalized; and the police
organization will be able to enhance its crime prevention and control capabilities
through modern systems resulting from the best practices acquired from
implementing patrol operations and other related activities.
The standardization of concepts and procedures in conducting patrol
operations is in consonance with the transformation efforts of the PNP as contained
in the PNP PATROL PLAN 2030 that provides direction and focus on the core
functions of the PNP which are crime prevention, crime solution and public safety.
The procedures in PNP Patrol Manual intend to elicit a positive response from
the public as the PNP works toward the attainment of a safer place to live, work, and
do business. Revisiting the basics will foster closer ties between the PNP and the
community, and in the process, give rise to several models of excellence in police-
community partnership at the grassroots levels.
The effectiveness of police patrols can be determined not just by the
compliance of the guidelines specified in this manual but also on the positive impact
it makes to the community. It is essential that PNP personnel utilize this manual to
aid them in the performance of their duties as we realize our vision to become a
highly capable, effective and credible police service.
