ABSTRACT
Title : “ EFFECTIVENESS OF BOAC POLICE COMMUNITY RELATION SECTION
IN TERMS OF CRIME PREVENTION IN THE SEASIDE BARANGAYS OF BOAC
MARINDUQUE: AN ASSESSMENT”

Year :2017
In a community, the smallest society is the family and that is the start of building
a relationship so the police personnel must be the first role model of their family in good
manners, mentally, physically and spiritually.
In an effort to reduce crime more effectively and efficiently, many law
enforcement agencies are establishing collaborative partnerships within their
communities. These relationships help to facilitate trust between community members
and police organizations (skogan, steiner, dubois, gudell, &fagan 2002a, p.10).
51
Partnerships may include police officers, business owners, community leaders, social
service and healthcare providers and other community members. In the past, the
community's involvement in law enforcement efforts has been limited. Many policing
agencies are learning, however, that community members can be a valuable source of
support and information. Citizens can provide the police with insight into the
specificcrime problems occurring within their neighbourhoods and can aid officers in
their investigations.
This study used different statistical tools to indicate and measure the relationship
of police performance and their community relations within the seven barangays of
seaside district Boac, Marinduque namely Cawit, Bunganay, Amoingon, Caganhao,
Balaring, Ihatub and Laylay.
It utilized the purposive sampling design to be able to get sufficient information
random because the respondents were chosen randomly which are mainly police
personnel and Barangay officials and other community personnel.
The researchers used related magazines, books, online resources and other
related reference in the library and thesis of criminology graduates of ESTI. The
materials or references are not enough in this study so we went to Boac Municipal
Police Station to ask help to the police personnel of the Police Community Relation
Section of the PNP.

51
The respondents of this study were the 10 police personnel and 40 barangay
officials in seaside district. All in all, the study will survey 50 respondents having
different perceptions about the police force’s performance and relationships with them.
From the data obtained, the frequency distribution, percentile ranking and weighted
mean were used as statistical tools in the interpretation and assessment of the results
which were presented in tabular forms.
Majority of the respondents were male, barangay officials, have 16 years and
above residency and are Roman Catholic.
Based on the results of the study, the hypothesis which states that there is no
effective relationship between the Boac MPS personnel and the community in the sea
side Barangays of the Municipality of Boac in terms of crime prevention is hereby
rejected.
The PNP personnel of Boac have “Competent” skills in their community relations
thus they were able to “Proficiently” establish a friendly relationship with the people of
the community and they were able to respond immediately to the people’s referrals
and it has drawn mutual respect and trust for the PNP Organization and the community,
thus it has lessened the incidence of the commission of crime and had bridged the
communication gap between the PNP organization and the public, to maintain harmony
and mutual support between the PNP organization and community, it had helped
maintain peace and order, and it was able to prevent the commission of crime.
The following recommendation were formulated:

51
1. Strengthen the linkages with other civic organizations in the community and ensure
that data gathering procedures were properly conducted.
2. The partnership of the community leaders and the PNP organization must always be
in consonance with existing law.
3. Police assets and information system muct be able to facilitate the early detection
and apprehension of law violators.
4. Police officers must also take in to consideration their roles as parents and they have
to make themselves visible in church works and in the promotion of the culture
and the traditions of the people specially those dealing with behaviour and
attitude.
5. The PNP organization must establish strong link with all sectors of the community
and be the guardians of peace and order, mutual and harmonious working
relationship and be the role model in the enforcement of laws and local
ordinances, restoring trust and confidence to the PNP Organization.

THE PROBLEM - ITS BACKGROUND
In an effort to reduce crime more effectively and efficiently, many law
enforcement agencies are establishing collaborative partnerships within their
communities. These relationships help to facilitate trust between community members
and police organizations (skogan, steiner, dubois, gudell, &fagan 2002a, p.10).
Partnerships may include police officers, business owners, community leaders, social
service and healthcare providers and other community members. In the past, the
community's involvement in law enforcement efforts has been limited. Many policing
agencies are learning, however, that community members can be a valuable source of
51
support and information. Citizens can provide the police with insight into the specific
crime problems occurring within their neighbourhoods and can aid officers in their
investigations. The collaborations are beneficial to both the police and the community.
To better understand community/police collaborations, this study researched several
different types of successful partnerships. Our objective was to learn why the
partnerships were formed and who was involved. Our research also sought to
determine the goals of the partnerships, and the methods used to achieve those goals.
The study also highlights several practices used by police agencies successfully to
solve community problems.
July was declared a red-letter month for the Police Community Relations and
also for the family.
The Philippine National Police in partnership with the different sectors of the
community had celebrated the Police Community Relation Month. Every year, the PCR
family organizes activities that deepen the bond between the law enforcer and the
community. This is in compliance to the provision of the Presidential Proclamation No.
764 dated January 24, 2005, declaring the month of July of every year as Police
Community Relations month.
In a community, every individual plays a big role in maintaining and promoting
peace and order, without the help of the community, every programs and plan of the
police personnel will never succeed.

51
In a community the smallest society is the family and that is the start of building a
relationship so the police personnel must be the first role model of their family in good
manners, mentally, physically and spiritually.
As mandated by the Constitution, the State shall promote peace and order,
ensure public safety and further strengthen the local government capacity aimed
towards the effective delivery of services to the citizenry.
To achieve this purpose, peace officers such as the uniformed personnel are
given power and authority to suppress the emergence of violence and the commission
of crime by lawless elements in the society.
Police officers are organized, trained and equipped primarily for the performance
of police functions. The Philippine National Police (PNP) is national in scope but civilian
in nature. As provided for by RA 6975, otherwise known as the DILG Act of 1990 no
element of the police force shall be military nor shall any position thereof be occupied by
active members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
Being civilian in nature, police officers are assigned in localities where they are
put under the operational supervision and control of local chief executives. It is of vital
importance that police officers establish relationship within the community where they
are assigned and command respect and cooperation among the citizens.
Many issues confronting police personnel include among their behaviours,
attitudes, practice of their profession, bribery, corrupt practices, lifestyle, and abuse of
51
their power as law enforcers, marital infidelity, and their relationship with the community
where they serve.
As the nature of police works is within the confines of being civilian law enforces,
much is expected from them within the community. The participation of police personnel
in community activities not as law enforcers but as ordinary citizen had been looked up
to and welcomed by the people of the community.
The relationship of police officers with the people in the community is open to
critical evaluations. The personnel and professional relation of a police officer with the
people may lead to an effective delivery of services or in several occasions. It may also
affect his performance as a law enforcer.
The essence of the evaluation of the performance of the police in their relation in
their community is just one of the indications of their job and these reasons led the
researchers to conduct this study.
THEORETICAL/ CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Preventing crimes in a community needs a lot of things to be acquired. The
people involved in the community and the police officers as well are in.
According to Plato, the ideal was an ordered state, in which all players in the
stage of life has to fulfil their functions for the good of the whole, and in which education
will prepare the individual for his function and for the better citizenship.
51
The community which is the smallest political unit is structure of rigid control,
static social position, and there is the limitation in grasping the definitive body of
knowledge necessary in ruling.
The culture and traditions of the people in a community depicts the people
themselves. The people know each other and each event are treated with humane
relationships. Celebrations of the family affairs such as weddings, christening, birthdays,
mourning and others are expected to draw the people to a closer contact with each
other.
The conceptual framework shown in the next page depicts how the relations of
the police officers affect the community they serve and what does it have to do with the
maintenance of peace and order as to prevent crimes.

51
Direct communication of the citizens and the police officers

may be implemented to replace the hindrance of
misunderstanding that usually lead to the initiation of crime.
Rapport and other effective community relations of police
officers to the members of the community which are
INPUT efficiently established and developed
Implementing activities such as drug symposiums, barangay

visitations, supporting events being held in the community
and others alike.
Acquiring civic activities that enhance the physical,
emotional, mental, spiritual and most of all the social
PROCESS relations of the PNP to the community.
People in the community will cooperate with police officers

in maintaining peace and order
People will assist the police officers to apprehend the law

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Title: Effectiveness of Boac Police Community Relations Section in Terms of

Crime Prevention in the Seaside Barangays of Boac, Marinduque: An
Assessment
Main Problem: This study generally aims to assess the effectiveness of Boac Police
Community Relations Section in terms of crime prevention in the seaside
barangays of Boac, Marinduque. This research mainly focuses in the matters that
are involved in the prevention of crimes.
Specific Problem:This study generally aims to assess the effectiveness of Boac Police
Community Relations Section in terms of crime prevention in the seaside
barangays of Boac, Marinduque.
1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of:

a. Age
b. Gender
c. Civil Status
d. Occupation
e. Year of Residency
f. Religion
2. How do the police officers interact with the people in the community in terms of:
a. Civic/ Community Service
b. School Activities
c. Image Building
3. What is the performance of the police officers in relation to their community relations?
51
4. Is there a significant relationship on the PNP officer’s community relations to their

performance and the prevention of crime?
HYPOTHESIS OF THE STUDY
This study hypothesized that there is no effective relationship between thePolice
Community Relation Section and the sea side Barangays of the Municipality of Boac
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The result of this study will identify if the police officers and the community have
strong and well built relationship with each other. The performance of the PNP officers
of the Boac Municipal Police Station in relation to their community relations will be
significantly interesting to the following: (1) development of relationship between the
Police Community Relation Section and the community.(2) enhance the performance of
our PCR’s in community relation.
To the PNP Administrators
Police personnel are part of the community where they serve as such they
become subject of the community where they are assigned. Their behaviour and
attitude are subjected to the people’s critical evaluation.

51
The result of this study will determine the things that can be improved and
enhance by the PNP personnel to be used in terms of communicating and building
harmonious relationship in the community.
To the PNP Personnel / Officers
Like in the ballistics said “The gun is not for our friend but in our enemy”. It can
be used to carry out effectively their duties and responsibilities with respect and
command using their people’s relationship.
The police officers carry out their firearms not to show fear to anyone but it is
used as lethal weapons to a person who have violated the law and to the person who
are not obeying the proper authority.
The establishment of good community relations will instill discipline and will serve
as the good example of a good leader.
As the Principle of Community Relation, Community support must be maintained.
Every police shall be worthy of the public high trust by doing his job and leaving nothing
undone through carelessness. He/ She shall make himself available and be willing to
serve everyone.
To Future Police Officers

The result of this study can serve as a guide to themselves where they may able
to identify themselves in situations that good community relationship maybe applied.

51
They must be aware with their behaviours and attitude so the integrity of law
enforcement officers are beyond question.
The Law enforcement must not only be good looking but with good attitude and
have “esprit de corps”. He or she must respect the constitutional rights of all men as the
police ethics or law enforcement code of ethics based on it.
To the future Researchers
Law Enforcement is not just a simple task to be done. It does not only care about
their personal feelings but it is widely understood the feelings and rights of all men.The
consideration of this subject to the next researcher is to have long enough
understanding about the functions and works of every police officer to carry out the
effective implementation of policies.
The result of this research may vary depending on how intensive this will be
undertaken. Researches must be focused on the performance of the police officers to
carry out the duties, responsibilities, functions and innovations to be implemented for
their effective performance.
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
This particular study will deal only with community relations of police officers
within the Boac area specifically in the seaside Barangays of the municipality of Boac.
This study embodies only the police strength of the Police Community Relation section
51
of Boac Municipal police station in handling and rendering service within the mentioned
areas.
The respondents of this study are the 40 selected barangay officials including the
Punong Barangay and Barangay Kagawad of every purok in seaside district and
10selected police personnel in Boac Municipal Police Station.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Local Literature
The Police Ethics and Community Relations mandates that every PNP units from
station level up to the national level up to the national level have a public relations office
to look after the public relation aspect of the organization. The mission of public relation
officer is to gain public support for police policies and to win citizens‘cooperation in the
program and procedure of the police station in order to facilitate the accomplishment of
police task. Every once in a year all of our police personnel celebrating what we called
‘’PNP ETHICS MONTH’’ which specifically recalling the meaning of true Ethics in the
duty and responsibility. It is celebrated on JANUARY 16, of the year.
The PNP Community Relation
Paul Whiselend, Cline and Felkenes (1974) defined community relation as the
attitude; an attitude of concern that needed government services are delivered to people
I an efficient and humans manner.
PCR (Police Community Relation) is development and retention of attitudes and
behaviour on the part of the police that create mutually supportive relationships between
their agency and the community.Empowering the community in peace keeping.The
Philippine National Police (PNP) recognizes the active and effective role of the
community in maintaining peace and order. The organization sustains its partnership
51
and collaboration through its various efforts in the establishment of police community
cooperation and a problem-solving approach responsive to the needs of the community.
Partnership becomes the keyword of Police Community Relation Group.
The partnership between the police and the community plays a truly critical role
in the total effort of the Philippine National Police to reduce the incidence of crime’’,
PCSUPT DAVID reiterates in all the PCGR’S Crime prevention and Awareness
Seminars/ Workshops being conducted.
Defines police–community relations; distinguishes it from public relations,
community service, and community participation; reviews the history of improving
police–community relations; and then analyzes the strategies of community policing and
problem-solving policing. The remaining portion examines how community policing can
be easily misused and what to do to put it back on course.
Definitional Issues There are a considerable number of definitions for police–
community relations. Nevertheless, this term generally refers to the sum total of
attitudes and behaviors between police and the communities they serve. They can
range from positive to negative in general or with respect to particular things police do.
One of the ways that police–community relations has been understood (and defined) is
by seeing it as part of a tripod, including public relations, community service, and
community participation (Radalet and Carter, 1994). Taken as a whole this
conceptualization makes sense.

51
Foriegn Literature
“The police culture is notoriously resistant to change, and problem-oriented
policing represents a significant and fundamental shift in the police paradigm. Others
have argued that the typical rank and file officer does not have the necessary skill-set to
engage in the problem solving process” (White, 2007, pp. 101–102). White continues:
Experts recognize that the problem-solving process may produce solutions that are not
necessarily transferable to other problems and other jurisdictions (Reitzel et al., 2005).
In fact, a central element of problem-oriented policing is that the problem-solving
process should produce a solution that is specifically tailored to the identified problem
and underlying condition. (pp. 97–98) In addition, relatively recent research on the San
Diego Police Department (Cordner and Biebel, 2005) suggests that even in law
enforcement agencies that have gained a considerable amount of exposure to the POP
model, it may not be implemented entirely and in the same way throughout the entire
rank and file, and officers may be experiencing fatigue over its use. Problem-oriented
policing experts suggest that law enforcement agencies keep good records on the
situations in which they intervene and the strategies that worked and ones that failed.
This will become an important part of institutional knowledge that other officers and
police management can draw on in the future. Solutions: Community policing and
Problem-Oriented Policing1 An outgrowth of problem-oriented policing was community-

51
oriented policing, or community policing for short. This practice involves a cooperative
effort between police and the communities they serve where both work together to solve
crime and crime-related problems. It also includes a series of strategies that bring the
police closer to the community to reduce and solve crime and crime-related problems.
Community policing is often defined by the programs it subsumes, including bike patrol;
kobans; storefront or mini police stations; problem-oriented policing, “Policing by
Objectives”; neighborhood meetings with the police; crime prevention programs; foot
patrol by beat cops; and police getting more involved in community activities. In 1994
Congress passed the Crime Bill. Not only did it establish the Office of Community
Policing as a part of the Department of Justice,

CHAPTER II
METHOD OF STUDY
This chapter presents the research design, research locale, the respondents,
sampling method, the research instruments to be used and the statistical tools to be
employed. The selection of the sample, measuring instruments, procedure for data
collection and the statistical techniques utilized relating to the research are delineated.
This particular study will use statistical tools to indicate and measure the
relationship of police performance and their community relations within the seven
barangays of seaside district Boac, Marinduque namely Cawit, Bunganay, Amoingon,
Caganhao, Balaring, Ihatub and Laylay.
RESEARCH DESIGN
This study will use descriptive narrative survey method of research. It will provide
a detailed summary of the research methodology employed in the investigation of the
relationship between the performances of the police officers towards the community
relations in the seven barangays of seaside district.

51
This is designed to distinguish and measure the status of interaction and
relationship of police officers unto the community and the activities being conducted
within the community they are based.
It will attempt to show the Likert-scale type summated rating scales that will
measure the community activities and the interactions or relations of the police officers
participated in by the police officers.
Police-community relations have been thrust into the spotlight by the
"Waddington Inquiry" into the investigation of the Boy patong massacre. 1 Dr
Waddington's report is however, confirmation of the view of a number of writers on
policing that the problems experienced in the field of police-community relations in
South Africa are primarily the result of the legacy of apartheid. 2
The weakness of police-community relations in many parts of the country are
today perhaps the greatest obstacle to effective policing. An improvement in the
relationships between the police and the communities they are tasked with serving, is a
vital step towards the achievement of greater levels of affordable personal safety.
RESEARCH POPULATION
Huysmans (1994) defines a population as encompassing “the total collection of
all members, cases or elements about which the researcher wishes to draw
51
conclusions”. The population for this research includes the 10 police officers and 40
Barangay officials of Seaside Barangays.
According to Sekaran (2003), sampling is “the process of selecting a sufficient
number of elements from the population, so that a study of the sample and an
understanding of its properties or characteristics would make it possible for us to
generalize such properties or characteristics to the population elements”. Accordingly,
the sample consists of all the Barangay officials of Barangay Cawit, Bunganay,
Amoingon, Caganhao, Balaring, Ihatub and Laylay in Boacconveniently available to
participate.
SAMPLING TECHNIQUES
This will utilize Purposive sampling design used to be able to get sufficient
information random because the respondents will be chosen randomly which are mainly
police personnel and Barangay officials and other community personnelwhich is
according to the study about the effectiveness of the Boac Police community relation
section in terms of crime prevention in the Seaside Barangays of Boac, Marinduque.
RESEARCH LOCALE
The study was conducted in the Municipality of Boac, Marinduque in the year
2016.
51
Boac is a first class Municipality and capital of the Province of Marinduque. It is
located in the island province of Marinduque within Region IV-B and classified as within
the island of Luzon. It has a land area of about 959 square kilometers. As of 2015
census, it has a total population of 54,730 people. It is politically subdivided into 61
barangays. The researcher chose to conduct the study in the municipality of Boac
because of his deeply concern to her beloved municipal land.
However, this research is limited only to the seaside district of the municipality of
Boac. Those areBarangays ofCawit, Bunganay, Amoingon, Caganhao, Balaring, Ihatub,
and Laylay.
DATA GATHERING TECHNIQUE
The researchers used related magazines, books, online resources and other
related reference in the library and thesis graduates of criminology student of ESTI. The
materials or references are not enough in this study so we went to Boac Municipal
Police Station to asked help to the police personnel of the Police Community Relation
Section of the PNP.
THE RESPONDENTS
The respondents of this study are the 10 police personnel and 40 barangay
officials in seaside district for a total of 50 respondents.

51
RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
The primary data will be collected by means of questionnaires. The
questionnaires are presented in English and consisted of three parts: 1) The
demographic profile of the respondents in respective barangays in Seaside District in
terms of age, gender, civil status, occupation, year of residency and religion; 2) ways on
how the police officers interact with the people in the community in terms of civic
activities, school activities and cultural activities; 3) performance of the police officer in
relation to their community relations.
STATISTICAL TREATMENT
The statistical tools used are frequency distribution, mean, ranking and
percentage and the Pearson’s Rho Coefficient Correlation. A number of scales were
developed that will measure the attitude of the respondents towards certain issues.
Percentage is used to determine the different variables in part 1. The formula used was:
F
P= x 100
n
Where P= refers to percentage
F= refers to the number of respondents who answered in a particular item
n= total number of respondents

51
100= the number which serves as the multiplier of the quotient derived
from F/n to transform it into percentage form
Weighted Mean
Weighted mean was used in the determination of weight relative to the
importance of each quantity in average. Each quantity were taken an average and
corresponding weights were given. In this study, weighted mean was used to analyze
the respondents’ response on the stated problem.
The formula is: Wm=Fw /n
Where, Wm= weighted mean

Fw = weighted frequency
n = number of respondents

Table 2.A showed that the PNP personnel “usually” interact with the community
in terms of civic activities. Police personnel “always” respond immediately to people’s
referrals; they “usually”participate in sport activities in the community; “usually”
participate in the community clean-up drive ; “usually” assist in medical, dental, blood-
letting activity in the community; and “sometimes” assist in the gift giving/relief operation
in the community, and visit, invite, gather and make dialogue with out of school youth.
The Community relation of the PNP personnel can be summed up with the
activities they had participated in and with the civic activities the PNP personnel had
engaged to having earned the general weighted value and rating of “usually”, the police
officers had shown great dealings with the people in the community and they had
earned high esteem from the people.
As the PNP journal has described Police community relations paved the road
for law enforcers directly touching the heart of the community, “being there when they
were needed most”. Projects like the Medical and Dental Operations, the blood-letting
activity; the blood donation program; the gift-giving/relief operations; Alay-lakad; The
Ugnayan sa Punong Barangay; Camp visit; valuable sustained networking; and
complaints and referrals action center form parts of the police community relations.
51
It can be said that based on the respondents’ responses, the PNP personnel of
Boac had interacted with the people in the community well especially with the civic
activities aspect.

Table 2.B showed that the interaction of the police officers relative to school
activities had earned a General Weighted Value of “Usually” which denotes that police
officers function not only as law enforcers but also as parents to their children.
PNP personnel “usually” discuss the topics of juvenile delinquency in school;
“usually hold information campaign on drug abuse; and “usually” become resource
speaker on child welfare law. These functions of the police officers were applied to the
in-school youth/children and this is the venue where police officers have the opportunity
to campaign to the youth that juvenile delinquency can be stopped if and when parents,
teachers, and the community have to work together for the betterment of the lives of
the young people. They must add more information about the other law against woman
and children so that it will not happened to them or to anyone.
Also pertains to PTA meetings and the participation to school programs had
earned “usually” rating, it means that our police officers in the Boac Police Community
Relation Section (PCRS) perform well in the school setting. These can be attributed to
the facts that as they perform their duties and functions as law enforcers, they can
attend to the said PTCA meetings and participate in the school programs.
It is of vital importance that the people in the community has acknowledge that
police officers perform their duties and functions in the school setting well, as
manifested in their responses to the relations of the PNP with the school which is rated
“Usually”.

Table 2.C revealed that the General Weighted Value of the PNP personnel’s
interaction with the community in culture aspects is “Usually”. The options that pertain to
the display of good behaviour and attitude and the respect and courtesy for the elders
and the people in the community showed the PNP personnel “Usually” manifest it to the
51
people. They “Usually” engage in worthwhile activities in the community; and assist in
the promotion of culture and traditions.
Police officers are “Usually” seen in social gatherings in the community which
mean that police officers usually engage themselves in drinking sessions, and they
engage themselves in lavish celebrations and gatherings.
The results further showed that police officers in Boac are courteous and
respectful and these attitudes and behaviour had won the equal trust and respect of the
people for the police officers. As far as the conduct of police officers is concerned, it can
be said that the police officers in Boac had displayed such behaviours and attitudes in
conformity with the ethical code of conduct of police officers.
The results conformed with what Corpuz (2000) has stated that employees
including therein police officers are normally expected to handle personal problems on
their own without letting them interfere with work performance. Temporary difficulties
due to family problems are not an common. An employee whose performance is due to
the factors directly attributed to work is theoretically easies to work with, one of the
factors of which is a good public relation.

51
Competent rating is described as the personnel having sufficient knowledge and
skill / applies concepts and skills consistently and performs work on his/her own using
the competency area to produce quality output.
It can be said that the police personnel of Boac were able to establish good
community relations with the people. As they had earned the over–all “Competent”
performance, it showed that the Community Relation Section of the Boac Municipal
Police Station was in the right direction.
The result conformed with what Gen. Bartolome has stated that in effecting the
statutory powers of police personnel,community relations play a vital role. It is their
interaction with the people in the community that they may be able to integrate in the
community and become part of it. Through integration and interaction with the
community and the people, they may have access of vital information that will assist
them in crime prevention and apprehension of law offenders.
Police Community Relation (PCR) is the essence of law enforcement in the
context of democratic reforms. While all groups of Police Community Relations, it is
ultimately the police force which is responsible for the management of the relationship.
The results also found substantial meaning and consonance with Aleman’s
(2012), study and whose findings manifested that crime prevention and community
satisfaction with police services, while linked the number of officers on the streets, does
not depend entirely on the visibility of patrol officer. The decrease of crime rate was
attributed to community engagement, targeted initiative, strategic use of resources, and

51
data-driven decision making. A complementary statistical analysis the community
survey will obtain the opinions of residents and business owners regarding priority
issues on policing.
The need to identify community problems, unique needs, crime data and special
population will allow strategic deployment of resources in a proactive manner, rather
than in response to incidents, and this is when the community relations of the police
officers is of vital importance and be of use to the police works.
Nothing will be achieved, however without the process of reflection on the effects
of the post. The history of policing offers important pointers to the future. They should
not be ignored. The foundation of good community relation is efficiency or poor public
service. No amount of public service of the police. In summing up, the requirements for
good community relations are: sincerity in serving the public; full knowledge of the job,
deep conviction in the mobility of his work as a necessary service to promote individual
or national welfare; found police ethics; and high standards of management and
operation.
For Question No. 4: Is there significant relationship of the PNP officer’s community
relations to their performance and in the prevention of crime?
Answer: Yes there is a significant relationship between the community and the PNP
according to their performance and as we can read on the result of the survey about the
51
performance of the police officers they earned “COMPETENT” and it also means that
there is significant relationship between police officers and the community.
