1. Define Modus Operandi and explain why it is important for

Law enforcers to know the modus operandi of drug
traffickers.

ANSWER : Modus operandi is a Latin term used in English-

speaking circles to describe an individual's or group's habitual
way of operating, which forms a discernible pattern. The term
is primarily used when discussing criminal behavior, but it is
not exclusively uttered in this context. Modus operandi can
also be defined as a specific method of operation.
For example, military strategists refer to an enemy's modus
operandi when predicting the next threatening move in an
armed conflict. Synonymous with the term "operating mode,"
modus operandi is routinely shortened to the initials "M.O.,"
in both written and verbal usage.
The term "modus operandi" is a Latin term that describes an
individual or group's habitual way of operating, which
represents a discernible pattern.
A modus operandi (commonly abbreviated as "M.O.") is
mainly used to discuss criminal behavior and is often used by
professionals to prevent future crimes.
Modi operandi may change over time, particularly by adapting
to experiences as well as changing values.
Studying patterns, not just those of criminals, can aid
individuals who study and pay attention to them, such as
investors.

1. Discuss Drug bust operation and its significance in

fighting the drug problem.

ANSWER : A buy-bust operation is a form of entrapment,

whereby a police agent disguised as a buyer of illegal drugs
undertakes a sales transaction with a seller. In short, the
prosecutor must prove that the sale took place, and that the
accused was the seller.
Drug supply reduction efforts involving aggressive law
enforcement and prosecution with strong adherence to the
rule of law and observance of human rights, coupled with
comprehensive demand reduction initiatives and supported
by strong international ties.
Take away drugs from the public through market denial
operations and prevention of diversion from the licit to illicit
market; and reduce the proliferation of illegal drugs through
sustainable alternative development programs.
In order to fully support the government’s anti-drug
campaign, the Philippine National Police launched its PNP
Anti-Illegal Drugs Campaign Plan: Double Barrel. Implemented
in a two-pronged approach, this is the centerpiece of PNP’s
campaign against illegal drugs. The lower barrel is dubbed as
Project Tokhang (ToktokHangyo), a Visayan composite term
that stands for knock (Toktok) and plead (Hangyo). The upper
barrel, which is the Project HVT (High Value Target), is a
sustained anti-illegal drugs police operation that includes buy-
busts, service of search and arrests warrants, manhunts, raids,
and checkpoints against High Value and Street Level Targets
involved in trafficking and selling of illicit drugs.

EVALUATE

1. Explain the Role of the Family, School, Media, Church in the

Prevention of Drug Abuse.

ANSWER : Overwhelming evidence shows that a parent's

lessons and involvement reduce the risk of substance abuse
habits, particularly when started at an early age. Therefore, it
is crucial for parents to talk to their children early and often
about the drugs they may encounter.
Media campaigns have been widely used for the prevention of
illicit drug use in young people. They often address specific
substances with the aim of reducing use and raising
awareness about the associated problems.
Effective drug education is important because young people
are faced with many influences to use both licit and illicit
drugs. Education can play a counterbalancing role in shaping a
normative culture of safety, moderation, and informed
decision making.
They ensure youth participation, which is a fundamental
quality of any drug prevention programme. Young people are
assets to the community who can make positive and long-
lasting contributions when the opportunity arises. ... Their
cooperation is essential for drug prevention programmes to
reach their goals and objectives.
