Law enforcement agency or agent pertains to a person or organization responsible for enforcing
the laws, especially referring to the so called police organization. Police organization is a system of
coordinating activities of a group of people working in a concentrated manner towards a common goal
under authority and leadership. A system of coordinated activities means that all organizations are
composed of parts and relationships. The parts of organization are the activities or functions being
performed and they are organized when they assume certain logical relationship. In all organizations, a
group of people are needed to implement or execute the activities or function. Cooperation towards a
common goal is important in an organization. Cooperation is strictly a human phenomenon. For rational
behavior, cooperation among individuals always has a purpose. Objectives of the organization spell out
that purpose. Its general purpose is to obtain organizational efficiency. Organizations are normally
structured on a superior-subordinate relationship. Therefore, authority is a universal element of all
organizations. Leadership is a personal quality which exhorts willing collaboration towards a common
goal.
On the otherhand, police administration focuses on the policing process or how police agencies are
organized and managed in order to achieve the goals of law enforcement most effectively, efficiently, and
productively.
This Learning Packet was prepared as a good reference by our criminology students particularly in the
aspect of police organization and administration in preparation for their future police service. It is a
handy reference that gives them an insight on the issues and concern of police organization and

Your Inquiry or Points of clarity: Student “Sir Vj Lentejas good Day! Ask lang po ako for clarification
only, pls define Criminology and why there a need to study criminology?”
Sir Lentejas Answer: As to the first question “define Criminology - the scientific study of crime and
criminal behavior and law enforcement. It includes in its study the making of law, the breaking of law and
its effects in the society.
As to the Second Question “Why there is a need to study Criminology?” The interests of criminologists
include the study of nature of crime and criminals, origins of criminal law, etiology of crime, social
reaction to crime, and the functioning of law enforcement agencies and the penal institutions. It can be
broadly said that criminology directs its inquiries along three lines: first, it investigates the nature of
criminal law and its administration and conditions under which it develops; second, it analyzes the
causation of crime and the personality of criminals; and third, it studies the control of crime and the
rehabilitation of offenders. Thus, criminology includes within its scope the activities of legislative bodies,
law-enforcement agencies, judicial institutions, correctional institutions and educational, private and
public social agencies.
INTRODUCTION:
The Police, under the Philippine setting, primitively evolved from the practice of different tribes
to select able bodied young men to protect their villages, not from the assault of criminals, but from the
depredation of wild animals which prey on their crops and livestock during the night.
These young men, who walk around to protect their village during the night, need not work in the
field during the day. The villages’ council has agreed that they were given an equal share of the harvest
for their family. Historically, this is the forerunner of the contemporary patrol function of the police for
crime prevention.
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.
b) 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
a) Regards police as the first line of defense of the criminal justice system, an organ of crime
prevention
b) Police efficiency is measured by the decreasing number of crimes
c) 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.

What is Management?
Management is a universal phenomenon. It is a very popular and widely used term. All organizations -
business, political, cultural or social are involved in management because it is the management which
helps and directs the various efforts towards a definite purpose. According to Harold Koontz,
“Management is an art of getting things done through and with the people in formally organized groups.
It is an art of creating an environment in which people can perform and individuals and can co-operate
towards attainment of group goals”. According to F.W. Taylor, “Management is an art of knowing what
to do, when to do and see that it is done in the best and cheapest way”.
Management is a purposive activity. It is something that directs group efforts towards the attainment of
certain pre - determined goals. It is the process of working with and through others to effectively achieve
the goals of the organization, by efficiently using limited resources in the changing world. Of course,
these goals may vary from one enterprise to another. E.g.: For one enterprise it may be launching of new
products by conducting market surveys and for other it may be profit maximization by minimizing cost.
Management involves creating an internal environment: - It is the management which puts into use the
various factors of production. Therefore, it is the responsibility of management to create such conditions
which are conducive to maximum efforts so that people are able to perform their task efficiently and
Importance of Management

the resources, integrates the resources in effective manner to achieve goals. It directs group efforts
towards achievement of pre-determined goals. By defining objective of organization clearly there would
be no wastage of time, money and effort. Management converts disorganized resources of men,
machines, money etc. into useful enterprise. These resources are coordinated, directed and controlled in
such a manner that enterprise work towards attainment of goals.
2. Optimum Utilization of Resources - Management utilizes all the physical & human resources
productively. This leads to efficacy in management. Management provides maximum utilization of scarce
resources by selecting its best possible alternate use in industry from out of various uses. It makes use of
experts, professional and these services leads to use of their skills, knowledge, and proper utilization and
avoids wastage. If employees and machines are producing its maximum there is no under employment of
any resources.

success. In this sense, people are the essential Human Resources – are the individuals and groups whose
performance contributions make it possible to the police organization to serve a particular purpose. But
the organization need more than people if they are to survive and prosper. They also need Material
Resources – including technology, information, physical equipment and facilities, raw materials and
money.

transform them into product in the form of police services is called OUTPUTS. The outputs are the
offered to the environment (community) for consumption.
In the workplace, they formed a Work Team – a task-oriented group that includes the police manager
and is team members or associate.
Fundamentally, any police manager should seek two key results for a police work team:

by the work team as a whole.
An effective policed manager must be concerned with the productivity of police work teams and their
members.
a) Productivity – means the summary of measures of the quantity and quality of police work
performance achieved, with resource utilization considered.
