Course Name: Law Enforcement Operations and Planning with Crime Mapping
Course Description: The responsibility of every police officer is to serve the

suspect/s during police operations.
Police Operations cover the mission-critical aspects of a police organization:

policies, institutional arrangements, processes and resources for the performance of
the policeman’s main functions. Police Operations encompass a wide range of
activities, particularly patrol and traffic operations, implementation of special laws,
command and control, civil disturbance, disaster management, terrorism,
deployment of troops, internal security operations and community-oriented
policing, with due regard to human rights.
Law enforcement in the Philippines is subject to the oversight of the National

Police Commission, an agency attached to the Department of Interior and Local
Government. The Commission was mandated by the 1987 Constitution, established
by the Republic Act No. 4864, and reorganized by Republic Act No. 6975. Its
powers were expanded under Republic Act No. 8551 to include the conduct of pre-
charge investigation of police anomalies and irregularities, and summary dismissal
of erring police officers. The Philippine National Police (PNP) is the primary law
enforcement agency in the Philippines. It was established under Republic Act No.
6975 and reorganized under Republic Act no. 8551.

Explain
This part of the module will give you now the ideas about law
enforcement operation. Thus, it is necessary to spend a little of your
time to understand the basic concepts of law enforcement operation.
Law Enforcement Operations
A. Service of Warrant of Arrest/Search Warrant
What is Warrant of Arrest?
The warrant of arrest is the written authority of the arresting officer

when making an arrest or taking of a person into custody in order that
he may be bound to answer for the commission of an offense.
The head of the office to whom the warrant of arrest has been delivered
for implementation shall cause the warrant to be implemented within
ten (10) days from receipt. Within ten (10) days after the expiration of
such period, the police officer to whom it was assigned for
implementation shall make a report to the judge who issued the warrant
and in case of his failure to implement the same, shall state the reasons
thereof.
General Guidelines for Warrant of Arrest
a. All arrests should be made only on the basis of a valid Warrant of

Arrest issued by a competent authority, except in instances where the
law allows warrantless arrest.
b. No violence or unnecessary force shall be used in making an arrest,

and the person to be arrested shall not be subjected to any greater
restraint than what is necessary under the circumstances.
c. As a general rule, arrests can be made on any day of the week and at
any time of the day or night.
d. Only judges are authorized to issue Warrants of Arrest.
e. A Warrant of Arrest is no longer needed if the accused is already

under detention. An Order of Commitment is issued by the judge in
lieu of the Warrant of Arrest.
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
f. The following are immune from arrest:
(1) A Senator or Member of the House of the Representatives while

Congress is in session for an offense punishable by not more than six
years of imprisonment; and
(2) Diplomatic Agents, Under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic

Relations.
Requisites for the Issuance of Search Warrant
A search warrant shall be issued only upon probable cause in

connection with one specific offense to be determined personally by
the judge after examination under oath or affirmation of the
complainant and the
witnesses presented. The search warrant shall particularly describe the

place to be searched and the things to be seized which may be
anywhere in the Philippines.
a. The following properties may be the objects of a search warrant:
(1) Properties which are the subject of the offense;
(2) Stolen, embezzled proceeds, or fruits of the offense; and
(3) Objects including weapons, equipment, and other items used or

intended to be used as the means of
committing an offense.
b. Objects that are illegal per se, even if not particularly described in
the search warrant, may be seized under the plain view doctrine.
Validity of Search Warrant
a. The warrant shall be valid for ten (10) days from date of issuance
and may be served at any day within the said period. Thereafter, it shall
be void.
b. If, in the implementation of the search warrant, its object or purpose

cannot be accomplished in one day, the search can be continued the
following day, or days, until completed, provided it is still within the
ten (10)- day validity period of the search warrant.
c. If the object or purpose of the search warrant cannot be

accomplished within the ten (10)-day validity period, the responsible
police officer conducting the search must file, before the issuing court,
an application for the extension of the validity period of said search
warrant.
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
Time of Search
The warrant should be served during daytime, unless there is a

provision in the warrant allowing service at any time of the day or
night.
B. Anti-illegal Drug Operations
General Policy and Guidelines
a. The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) was mandated by

law to carry out the provisions of RA 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous
Drugs Act of 2002), serve as the implementing arm of the Dangerous
Drugs Board, and be responsible for the efficient and effective
enforcement of all the provisions on any dangerous drug and/or
controlled precursor and essential chemical as provided in the Act.
b. The PNP, however, still possesses the authority to conduct anti-

illegal drug operations, provided that the case shall eventually be
transferred to the PDEA based on the Supreme Court Decisions in
People of the Philippines vs. Sta Maria (GR No. 171019, February 23,
2007 and People of the Philippines vs. Rashamia Hernandez et al., (GR
No. 184804, June 18, 2009). PDEA deputation is no longer necessary
or required for PNP personnel assigned with anti-drug units. (PNP
Manual on Anti-Illegal Drugs Operation and Investigation CY 2010)
c. The PNP is not prevented from conducting warrantless arrest under

Section 5, Rule 113 and search incident to a lawful arrest under Section
13, Rule 126 of the Rules of Court.
Coordination Requirements
a. PNP units, prior to any anti-drug operations shall, as far as

practicable, coordinate with the PDEA;
b. In any case, the PNP anti-drug units shall coordinate/inform the

PDEA of the anti-drug operation within 24-hours from the time of the
actual custody of the suspects or seizure of said drugs and substances
as well as paraphernalia and transport equipment used in illegal
activities involving such drugs and/or substances and shall regularly
update the PDEA on the status of the cases involving the said anti-drug
operation. (Section 86 (a) IRR of RA 9165)
c. The word “as far as practicable” means that the prior coordination
with the PDEA may be done, practiced or accomplished as maybe
feasible and possible to be performed. Under the following instances,
prior coordination is validly dispensed:
(1) In remote places where coordination is not possible

Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
(2) When coordination will compromise the lives of police operatives,

informant and witnesses, involved in anti-drug operation;
(3) When coordination will prejudice the apprehension of drug suspects

and confiscation of dangerous drugs and CPECs;
(4) When prior coordination will compromise the entire police

operation
(In the above instances, post coordination shall be made in lieu of prior
coordination)
Handling, Custody and Disposition of Evidence
a. In the handling, custody and disposition of evidence, the provision of

Section 21, RA 9165 and its IRR shall be strictly observed.
b. The apprehending officer/team having initial custody and control of

the drugs shall, immediately after seizure
and confiscation, physically inventory and photograph the same in the

presence of the accused or the person/s from whom such items were
confiscated and/or seized, or his/her representative or counsel, a
representative from the media and the Department of Justice (DOJ),
and any elected public official who shall be required to sign the copies
of the inventory and be given a copy thereof.
c. The physical inventory and photograph shall be conducted at the

place where the search warrant is served; or at the nearest police station
or at the nearest office of the apprehending officer/team, whichever is
practicable, in case of warrantless seizures; Provided, that non-
compliance with these requirements under justifiable grounds, as long
as the integrity and the evidentiary value of the seized items are
properly preserved by the apprehending officer/team, shall not render
void and invalid such seizures of and custody over said items.
d. Photographs of the pieces of evidence must be taken upon discovery

without moving or altering its position in the place where it was
situated, kept or hidden, including the process of recording the
inventory and the weighing of dangerous drugs, and if possible under
existing conditions, with the registered weight of the evidence on the
scale focused by the camera, in the presence of persons required, as
provided under Section 21,
Art II, RA 9165.
e. The seizing officer must mark the evidence with his initials
indicating therein the date, time and place where the evidence was
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
found and seized. The seizing officer shall secure and preserve the
evidence in a suitable evidence bag or in an appropriate container for
further laboratory examination.
f. Where the situation requires urgent action suspected drug evidence

acquired may be “field-tested” using a drug test kit. If the result is
positive this will be the basis of the seizure and the conduct of further
drug analysis.
g. Within twenty-four (24) hours upon confiscation/seizure of

dangerous drugs, plant sources of dangerous drugs, controlled
precursors and essential chemicals, as well as
instruments/paraphernalia and/or laboratory equipment, the same shall

later be turned over to the investigation officer or any member of the
apprehending team, as the case maybe, or to the Crime Laboratory for
laboratory examination and proper disposition. (Chain of Custody
Form)
j. Cellphones, computers/laptops or any other electronic equipment or

gadgets shall be properly preserved for evidentiary purposes and
technical exploitation.
k. A certification of the forensic laboratory examination results, which

shall be done under oath by the forensic laboratory examiner, shall be
issued within twentyfour (24) hours after the receipt of the subject
item/s: Provided, that when the volume of the dangerous drugs, plant
sources of dangerous drugs, and controlled precursors and essential
chemicals does not allow the completion of testing within the time
frame, a partial laboratory examination report shall be provisionally
issued stating therein the quantities of dangerous drugs still to be
examined by the forensic laboratory: Provided, however, that a final
certification shall be issued on the completed forensic laboratory
examination on the same within the next twenty-four (24) hours.

individual casinos and in turn acts as a regulator to privately owned
casino operators.
Since 2016 PAGCOR has also granted operating licenses and overseen
the regulation of growing online gambling sector serving offshore
markets. Casino gambling and integrated resorts have become a key
component of the Philippines appeal as a tourist destination with more
than twenty casinos found in Metro Manila alone.

H. Anti-Cyber Crime Operations
The Philippines, like any other country around the world, is

increasingly adopting Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) in its economic, government and social activities. The
dependence on ICT however, makes us vulnerable to different forms of
security threats such as malwares, botnets, denial of service attacks,
phishing and other types of identity theft, computer-related forgery and
fraud, child pornography, copyright infringements and cyber terrorism.
In response to the mounting threats on the country’s cyber space and

critical infrastructures, the country needs to strengthen its legal
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
framework, international cooperation, public and private partnership,

advocacy and public awareness.
The Philippine National Police (PNP) through its current Chief, PNP
and in line with the PNP’s strategic thrust, saw a need to enhance the
organization’s capabilities and capacities in addressing cybercrime that
paved the way for the creation of the PNP Anti Cybercrime Group
(ACG).
The PNP ACG started its humble beginnings when the Criminal
Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) formed in 2003 under the
Anti-Transnational Crime Division (ATCD) the Cybercrime Section
where it started without computers, computer forensic equipment,
trained cyber investigator, digital forensic examiner or cyber forensic
laboratory.
In order for the PNP to establish a credible cybercrime unit within

CIDG, it conducted consultations and networking with various
international law enforcement agencies, ICT industries, the academes
and other stakeholders.
In line with the program of the Task Force for the Security of Critical
Infrastructures (TFSCI) under the Office of the President of the
Philippines, the Government Computer Security Incident Response
Team (GCSIRT) was launched on August 5, 2004. GCSIRT through
the Anti-Transnational Crime Division of CIDG, became the focal
point for reporting all internet-related security breaches and
coordinated support systems to respond to such threats across all
government agencies.
Moreover, a cyber training laboratory was established on December 9,

2011 to conduct specialized technical training to CIDG police
personnel. Finally, on February 27, 2013 the PNP-Anti Cybercrime
Group with official acronym “PNP ACG”, was activated as a National
Operational Support Unit primarily responsible for the implementation
of pertinent Philippine laws on cybercrimes and advocating the anti-
cybercrime campaign of the PNP.
The Anti Cyber-Crime Group of the PNP
OUR VISION
By 2025, the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group shall be a highly responsive

Activity 5-7.1 “Confusion”
To begin the lesson intended for you, there is a need to know first your ideas about
police patrol operation. The following items that you will see in your first activity
will determine your knowledge on police patrol operation. If you are ready, you
may start now. You only have 15 minutes to finish it.
Instruction: The following are statements related to police patrol operation. You
need to identify the statements which you adhere that show factual information
about the topic. You may tick the small circle before the statement/s of your
choice.
o 1. The PNP is employing Police Presence as a major crime deterrent to

reduce if not totally eliminate the opportunity to commit crime in particular.
Police presence is defined as the physical deployment of police officers,
patrol vehicles, and other police equipment which could amplify visibility
and eventually deliver that much-needed, reassuring police attendance and
response in certain strategic areas.
o 2. Patrol is the act of moving about in an area especially by authorized and
trained persons usually police officers for the purpose of observation,
inspection, collaboration, prevention of crime, and provision of a secured
environment. Patrol operation-- the basic police function - forms the
backbone of policing.
o 3. Air patrol also called non-vehicular patrol, it is conducted by police
officers moving in an area by foot. It is primarily conducted in heavily
populated areas, public places, and areas of convergence like markets,
churches, schools, transport terminals amusement places, and shopping
malls. Foot patrol is also being deployed in - areas that are not accessible to
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
motor vehicles. This method provides the patrol officers familiarity on the
ground and better observational, identification and solution to peace and
order concerns in their beat also enables patrol officers to establish and
maintain favorable relations with the community through person-to-person
contact.
o 4. Foot patrol are used to enable the police to patrol remote streets and
narrow pathways including beaches and parks, compared to foot patrol, the
bicycle patrol provides Speed, mobility, and flexibility. Moreover, the use of
the bicycle for patrolling provides alternative means of saving fuel and
promoting physical Fitness among the patrol officers.
o 5. Mountain Patrol may be used for patrolling areas with rough terrain
especially in rural setting that are inaccessible by mobile patrol. In some
cases, mounted patrol can also be used for crowd control operations
o 6. Aggressive Patrol its emphasis is on positive, target-oriented activities by
the patrol officer i.e. highly selective but thorough physical security
inspections conducted in a specific geographic area. Effective if it is based
on crime analysis which provides information concerning identifiable crime
trends and activities.
o 7. The Integrated Patrol System is a reactive crime prevention measure
having key components like the patrol officers who are tasked to take
actions to prevent the occurrence of crime based on the crime clock and
crime map. It is a proactive measure since it seeks to deter or engage the
criminals before they undertake their various activities, thus. eliminating the
element of opportunity.
o 8. Familiarity in the community helps the patrol officers in law enforcement.
Patrol officers can Immediately enforce the law where there are suspicious
activities monitored or reported by the community and in the conduct of
directed police operations.
o 9. It is the responsibility of the Chief of Police to formulate a Station Patrol
Plan and ensure its proper implementation. Patrol Plan shall serve as the
blueprint of crime prevention strategy of Police Stations, wherein most of
the Station's activities must be aligned with. It is often said that if you fail to
plan, you are actually planning to fail.
o 10. Documentation of the activities serves as basis for review and evaluation
of the effectiveness of the crime prevention program of the police station.
o 11. Decoy Patrol, the principal tactics are blending and decoy, in which
patrol personnel are deployed in specific high crime areas in discreet
disguises in an effort to blend into their surroundings in the expectation of
observing crimes in progress.
o 12. Motorcycle patrol provides comfort in inclement weather and is able to
transport equipment and materials which patrol officers require in the
performance of their duties.
o 13. Investigation is the only division that cannot be eliminated.
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
o 14. Moving foot patrol It usually used for traffic, surveillance, parades and
special events.
o 15. Bicycle patrol is the most economical type of patrol and offers tactical
ability when used in numbers.
o 16. Air patrol is the most dangerous type of patrol method.
o 17. A dog is capable of recognizing an odor 2 million times better than a
human can.
o 18. Police Dogs should be used to replace police officers. They are substitute
forces that can replace the officer in better performance of duty.
o 19. The intelligence unit serves as the “ears and eyes” of the Police
Organization.
o 20. Police Patrol is the basic law enforcement method

EXPLAIN
This part of the module will give you now the ideas about police patrol
operation. Thus, it is necessary to spend a little of your time to understand
the basic concepts in the subject.
Police Patrol Operations

Introduction
One of the core functions of the police is crime prevention. New York State
Police defines it as the anticipation, recognition and assessment of a crime
risk and the initiation of action to eliminate or reduce it. The Philippine
National Police (PNP) strategy in crime prevention, which by institution has
been advocated to be complete and holistic, is composed of the following
mechanisms: Police Presence (Visibility), Law Enforcement, and Police
Community Partnership. These crime prevention mechanisms are well
supported by various public information and advocacy campaigns.
It is an established notion that crime happens when these three elements are
present motive, opportunity, and instrumentality. The 'motive' is the
intention that drives a person to commit a crime. On the other hand,
opportunity to commit a crime consists of set of circumstances which allows
the person to commit the crime, a chance for the person to perpetuate a
motive. "Instrumentality is the device used in committing the crime. Both
the motive and the instrumentality belong to and are held respectively by the
criminal Law enforcers cannot totally control the criminal's motive. They
can at the most only reduce or eliminate the opportunity and instrumentality
by appropriate police actions. However, be that as it may, it is still presumed
to some extent that any police measures or actions done before. during and
after the occurrence of a crime may yet impede the formation of these three
elements through some forms of preemptive pressure especially to the mind
and senses of a would-be criminal
The PNP is employing Police Presence as a major crime deterrent to reduce
if not totally eliminate the opportunity to commit crime in particular. Police
presence is defined as the physical deployment of police officers, patrol
vehicles, and other police equipment which could amplify visibility and
eventually deliver that much-needed, reassuring police attendance and
response in certain strategic areas. Deployment of this mix of patrol
operations portfolio creates a genuine and collective perception of police
omnipresence, thus projecting a 24-hour police presence Police presence is
done through the deployment of various activities such as area patrol, law
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
enforcement, community engagement, and other related policing activities to

prevent and respond to situations that warrant police assistance or
intervention. To be more effective in their assigned duties, police officers
must be in their proper uniform as they patrol the streets for easier
recognition. Police units or offices should also be easily identified, located
and contacted by the public especially during emergencies.
On the other hand, Law Enforcement, as one of the mechanisms to prevent
crime, is defined as the actual implementation of laws and ordinances
through the conduct of police operations, investigation, apprehension or
detention of individuals suspected or convicted of violating laws or
ordinances, and conduct of joint operations with the Armed Forces of the
Philippines (AFP) National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Philippine Drug
Enforcement Agencies (PDEA), local government units, and other law
enforcement agencies. intervention. To be more effective in their assigned
duties, police officers must be in their proper uniform as they patrol the
streets for easier recognition. Police units or offices should also be easily
identified, located and contacted by the public especially during
emergencies. Police patrols play an important role in public service by
responding to incidents, deterring and preventing crimes. It can give a sense
of security to people who need protection and discourage those who may
commit crimes in the absence of a patrol. Police patrolling is an
indispensable component and function of police departments. The goals and
objectives of police patrol include crime prevention, criminal apprehension,
law enforcement, order maintenance, public services, and traffic
enforcement. However, since police resources are limited, there is an
understandable interest in patrol strategies and operations that provide safety
at minimum cost.
Fundamentals of Patrol
Patrol is the act of moving about in an area especially by authorized and
trained persons usually police officers for the purpose of observation,
inspection, collaboration, prevention of crime, and provision of a secured
environment. Patrol operation-- the basic police function - forms the
backbone of policing. This type of police operation is conducted to deny
opportunities to commit crimes, and reduce the risk of citizens becoming
crime victims. It also involves responding to calls for assistance and
intervention. Equally important is the establishment of community
partnership through developing good rapport between the patrollers and the
Community in their assigned beat.
Deployment of police patrols must be done in a systematic manner. Every
operational procedure must be properly defined, executed communicated
and recorded Crime prevention managers must be guided with standard
procedures to harmonize and synergize all the resources available in order to
maximize the impact to the community.
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
There is no other way to bring the police closer to the community than by
productively interacting with them in a continual basis. Community
engagement that promotes a positive police image, such as medical and
dental mission, school clean up. blood donation and other similar one-time
engagements, can help uplift the image of the police, but not in a sustainable
manner. Deep-rooted police community partnership associated with
excellent police performance is proven to be effective in reducing the
incidence of crime and the level of fear among the public. This essential
alignment could promote and stimulate support from the different sectors of
the community including the masses and may eventually reinforce and
sustain the general objectives of hoe police towards crime prevention end
solution.
Police visibility through constant patrolling creates an atmosphere of safety
and security in the community. Through patrolling, patrol officers are able to
discuss. with their superiors the problems they come across in the
community and the peace and order concerns of the residents. Following the
same premise, patrolling therefore must "constitute the foundation of police
officers' career. It is in this environment that officers will learn the core
skills of communication, interpersonal skills, conflict resolution, and
problem solving."
Features of Patrol
a. Patrol is a way of interacting with a community.
Related police functions can be merged to maximize the deployment of
patrollers. To maximize the
deployment of patrollers, police stations shall, as much as possible, trim
down the number of personnel
performing office works by merging related functions and activities. Tasks
involving Family, Juvenile, Gender
and Development Program (FJGAD) and Women and Children Protection
Desks (WCPD) can be merged and
performed by a policewoman, while tasks involving Admin/Supply/Finance
can be performed by an officer.
b. Patrol duty is everybody's concern.
To maximize police visibility, all personnel in the police station must
contribute to the overall efforts and
goals of the station. The Chief of Police (COP) must see to it that the Desk
Officer, Radio Operators/TOC
personnel, Admin and Supply personnel and all other personnel must also
contribute to the station's police visibility efforts to prevent crime. This can
be done through rotation basis. Admin and support personnel can contribute
their time in patrolling during rush hour or from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM or
4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. PCOs and senior PNCOs shall be designated as Patrol
Supervisors while junior PNCOs are designated as Patrollers
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
Other innovations can be arranged by the COP depending on the situation on

the ground to at least mitigate the
issue on the shortage and appropriate assignments of personnel The
participation of the community and all other force multipliers must be
maximized to form a formidable front against all sorts of criminality The
local
government unit and other government agencies operating within the police
station must also be enjoined to
support the efforts of the police to cut down criminality as maintenance of
peace is everybody's concern and is
best achieved through a concerted effort of all stakeholders
c. Patrolling is an indispensable and specialized police function.
Not anybody in the police organization can be deployed as patrollers. They
need special skills, the right
attitude, and the technical know- how to effectively carry out their duties.
When patrollers move around in their
assigned beats, they represent the entire police institution, Instantly making
them "ambassadors" of the PNP.
They do not only stand for their own persons when they face the community,
but rather represent the whole
police force. Thus, assigning the right people to handle the tasks at hand will
make the police station more
effective.
d. Organize a lean and mean patrol unit.
Ideally, there must be a patrol unit organized at the police station level.
Making the patrol successful is a
matter of organization By organizing the patrol, the patrol supervisor instills
the values of discipline and
cooperation among the patroilers, in an organized unit: supervisors can
easily explain to the patrollers the why
of a situation or a job that needs to be done which would eliminate
difficulties before they starts
The Chief of Police as he/she organizes the patrol, is able to do the
following:
1. Keep patrollers busy.
Patrollers must have a line-up of things to do for the entire duration of their
shift particularly those
categorized as “MUST DOS" where it is mandatory for them to be on that
particularly spot of their beat doing the
things listed in their Daily Beat Patrol Activities (Annex A). In a more
generalized term, these patrol activities
must be reflected in the Individual Performance Card (IP Card) of patrollers.
2. Make patrollers responsible and accountable.
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
Organizing the patrol divides the duties and gives each patroller a task which
will give him/her the
opportunity to grow in leadership and be involved in community
development as well as in various policing
activities. Similarly, the individual patroller will be made accountable on
whatever happens in his/her assigned
beat Re/She will likewise be made answerable and accountable to the Patrol
Supervisor and to the Chief of Police
3. Put the right person in the right job
Organizing the patrol will give each patroller a chance to be assigned in
various tasks commensurate to
his/her competencies, thus giving him/her the opportunity to excel.
Police Visibility Patrols (OPLAN LAGING HANDA)
a. Mobile detachment – A mobile foot patrol team manning a control point
and 2-6 visibility points in the assigned AOR.
b. Control point – centrally located post where the vehicle with the team
leader and crew is stationed to
control and back up its 2-6 buddy foot patrol.
c. Visibility point – vantage spot adjacent to and on either side of the
control point being used by a buddy
foot patrol Procedure
Methods of Patrol
Patrol Methods are the means used under favorable conditions that provide
the most effective utilization of available personnel, logistics, and funds to
render police visibility, assistance and response.
a. Foot Patrol. Also called non-vehicular patrol, it is conducted by police
officers moving in an area by foot. It is primarily conducted in heavily
populated areas, public places, and areas of convergence like markets,
churches, schools, transport terminals amusement places, and shopping
malls. Foot patrol is also being deployed in - areas that are not accessible to
motor vehicles. This method provides the patrol officers familiarity on the
ground and better observational, identification and solution to peace and
order concerns in their beat also enables patrol officers to establish and
maintain favorable relations with the community through person-to-person
contact.
Foot Patrol
1) Its value lies in its ability to establish and maintain good, and positive
community relations, particularly true in downtown areas where merchants
and shoppers enjoy the presence of a uniformed patrol officer.
2) Patrol officers are able to more readily detect situations which require
police action.
3) They are able to develop excellent sources of information which can lead
to the detection and intervention in criminal activities.
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
4) Presence of patrol officers in crowded downtown shopping areas is a

deterrent to criminals.
Foot Patrol Sub-Team
1) Foot patrol of two personnel each shall conduct beat patrol equipped with
portable or hand-held radio set head its and appropriate firearms.
2) The “buddy system” should always be exercised.
3) Any incident should immediately be reported to the mobile sub-team for
information and disposition. 4) Must establish good rapport with resident,
barangay officials and workers.
5) Must establish information nets.
Chief of Police should:
1) Conduct frequent inspection of mobile detachment and foot patrol team.
2) Check and ensure that proper posting and relief are properly followed.
3) Conduct tests to promote operational readiness.
4) Identify the best and worst among units and personnel.
b. Mobile Patrol. - Mobile patrol is conducted through the use of land-
based vehicles as described below:
1. Motorcycle Patrol
Moto
rcycles are primarily used for conducting operations against motorcycle-
riding criminals and those perpetrating street crimes. The high mobility of
motorcycle patrols even in traffic congested areas makes them effective in
addressing crimes. In rural areas, they are extensively deployed to patrol
wider areas with less developed road networks that limit the use of four-
wheeled patrol vehicles. Motorcycle patrols are also used for traffic
management and for security escort duties.
Motorcycle Patrol
1) Used for traffic enforcement, escort and parade duty.
2) Owing to several operational limitations, including cost operation, safety
hazards and limited use during adverse weather, some have abandoned its
use.
2. Bicycle Patrol.
Bicycles are used to enable the police to patrol remote streets and narrow
pathways including beaches and parks, compared to foot patrol, the bicycle
patrol provides Speed, mobility, and flexibility. Moreover, the use of the
bicycle for patrolling provides alternative means of saving fuel and
promoting physical Fitness among the patrol officers.
Bicycle Patrol
1) It has limited applications but can be used quite effectively under certain
conditions.
2) It is effective in areas in which automobiles cannot be used and which
require more mobility than is possible in foot.
3. Automobile Patrol
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
Marked police car equipped with two-way radio, blinkers and siren are used
for covering a wider area and carrying equipment and personnel. This
method of patrol enables quick response to calls for police assistance and
provides the officers some degree of protection from criminal assaults and
inclement weather.
Automobile Patrol
1) It is the most prevalent method and useful, enabling the patrol officers to
cover a considerable area and to respond promptly to citizens’ call for
service.
2) Provides comfort in inclement weather and is able to transport equipment
and materials which patrol officers require in the performance of their
duties.
3) Among its inherent disadvantages is that the officer becomes physically
isolated from the citizens on the beat. As a result, the patrol officer loses the
ability to communicate freely with people. He is not also able to effectively
detect subtle characteristics in the surroundings which may suggest criminal
activity.
4) When a patrol officer is assigned to a motorized beat, the officer should,
as often as practical, park and lock his car and go out on the streets and meet
people. Officers should be equipped with portable radios.
5) While the automobile is a highly effective means of patrol, it should not
be relied on too heavily.
Mobile Detachment
1) Team leader – responsible for his men; sees to it they are manning their
respective post.
2) Unit equipment are properly accounted for, maintained and turned over to
the receiving team.
3) Team should be alert; must establish contact and support with local folks
and immediately respond to call for assistance.
4) Turn over all suspect apprehended to police section for investigation. 5)
Record in logbook all complaints, incidents and action taken.
6) No one leaves his post until properly relieved.
Mobile Sub-Team
1) Shall be basically stationed at the control point directly, supervising,
monitoring its 2-6 buddy foot patrol.
2) Maintain peace/order in its immediate surroundings within hearing
distance.
3) Should there be any accident reported by the foot patrol team, the team
leader should inform and alert their mother station headquarters. Should
reinforcement be needed, it shall immediately respond to back up the foot
patrol.
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
c. Waterborne Patrol.
Water crafts are used for law enforcement, search rescue. and security
operations in municipal and inland waters. At times. watercraft can be used
to transport patrollers in remote areas accessible only via water
transportation.
d. Airborne patrol.
The PNP Air Unit primarily uses aircraft to provide aerial support to police
units on the ground through air surveillance or spotting during pursuit
operations against criminals. It can also be used in tactical deployment of
specialized units such as snipers, RRUs, and SWAT.
e. Mounted Patrol
Horses may be used for patrolling areas with rough terrain especially in rural
setting that are inaccessible by mobile patrol. In some cases, mounted patrol
can also be used for crowd control operations
f. Other Methods
1. Marine patrols – search and security operations on waterways.
2. Helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft patrols – for pursuit operations in
densely populated areas. 3.Canine Patrol
1) Has limited applications for police patrol operations.
2) Dog patrols are used primarily for search purposes, to detect contraband,
and to tract down missing wanted persons.
3) Should not be used in connection with routine patrol activities or in crowd
control or riot situations owing to adverse public reaction.
One-man versus two-man patrol
1) Two-man patrol reduces the area which a given number of patrol
personnel can be expected to cover.
2) Officers assigned to two-man patrol are not as attentive to their
surroundings as are one-man patrol units.
3) Emphasis is given on the safety factor involved in having more than one
officer present at potentially hazardous situations.
Patrol Strategies
Patrol objectives could not be achieved simply by assigning a given number
of personnel to patrol duties. Patrol methods should be designed to enhance
the crime deterrence and criminal apprehension capabilities of the patrol.
Evaluate to determine the extent to which they are appropriate for replication
in other jurisdictions.
a. Directed Patrol - Is a strategy in which patrol officers are involved in
designing and implementing patrol activities on the basis of an analysis of
specific community problems.
b. Interactive Patrol - Similar to directed patrol but has emphasis on police
citizen interaction. Input is sought in resolving patrol problems.
c. Community-Oriented Policing - The individual beat officer becomes the
focal point in identifying problems peculiar to his or her beat and in
developing solutions. Stresses the accountability of the individual patrol
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
officer and thus seeks to develop in patrol personnel a greater sense of

commitment to duties and responsibilities.
d. Decoy Patrol - The principal tactics are blending and decoy, in which
patrol personnel are deployed in specific high crime areas in discreet
disguises in an effort to blend into their surroundings in the expectation of
observing crimes in progress.
e. Aggressive Patrol - Emphasis is on positive, target-oriented activities by
the patrol officer i.e. highly selective but thorough physical security
inspections conducted in a specific geographic area. Effective if it is based
on crime analysis which provides information concerning identifiable crime
trends and activities.
f. Team Policing - This is an attempt to decentralize the police organization
in order to make it more responsive to the localized needs and interests of
neighborhood and community groups. Generally, team policing is viewed as
a method of providing police services which exhibits the following
characteristics:
1) Geographic stability of patrol through permanent assignment of police
teams to small areas or neighborhoods.
2) Maximum communication and interaction, coordination and cooperation
among team members, fostered through the practice of working together to
solve common problems.
3) Better communication and interaction, between team members and
community.
4) Different styles of management, supervision and decision making which
emphasize the involvement and participation of individual team members in
making decisions which affect the operations of the team.
5) Emphasis of specialist skills in favor of a generalist approach in which
team members are given wider latitude in dealing with day-to-day problems.
Integrated Patrol System (IPS)

The Integrated Patrol System is a proactive crime prevention measure
having key components like the patrol officers who are tasked to take
actions to prevent the occurrence of crime based on the crime clock and
crime map. It is a proactive measure since it seeks to deter or engage the
criminals before they undertake their various activities, thus. eliminating the
element of opportunity. The concept of the Managing Patrol Operations
Manual is anchored on the philosophy of the Integrated Patrol System. The
Managing Patrol Operations Manual supplements IPS mechanism
particularly at the police station level by ensuring that deployments of
patrollers are bring done where they matter most. While the IPS ensures that
efforts and resources of all security forces present on the ground are being
integrated and harnessed in the system, the Managing Patrol Operations
Manual maximizes the deployment of personnel on the ground.
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
As an added value to IPS, this Managing Patrol Operations Manual ensures

that the efforts of individual personnel would contribute to the attainment of
the objectives of the police station. Individual performance becomes the key
in accomplishing the station's objectives, cutting across the wide expanse of
police work. By tactically deploying patrollers, several aspects of policing
can be accomplished in a day's work.
The IPS provides mechanism that incorporates three (3) components in a
police station to prevent crime, enforce the law deliver other public safety
services and enhance collaboration with the community. These are the
following:
a. Fixed components
Includes the Police Station, the Police Community Precincts, traffic posts,
tourist protection units, field offices of NSUS, RPSB/PPSC headquarters,
forward bases, headquarters. and detachments of friendly forces and allied
units involved in the security and in the maintenance of peace.
b. Patrol components
Include foot, mobile, waterborne, airborne, mounted, and other kinds of
patrol being done by the police and other security forces.
c. auxiliary components
Include BPATs, Barangay Tanods, public safety offices of LGUs, private
security agencies, non-government organizations, and other force
multipliers.
These components of the IPS must be considered in the formulation of the
Patrol Plan of the police station. They must be involved at the planning stage
to maximize the coverage of deployment of patrollers The station's Tactical
Operations Center (TOC) shall serve as the nerve center in order for all the
components to be fully integrated 24/7. Shown below are the components of
the IPS and how they are integrated in a single system.
Likewise, an effective communication system between and among police
stations with the Police Provincial Office (PPO) /City Police Office (CPO)/
Police Districts is vital. This is necessary for response that entails the action
of adjacent or all the police stations. A specific example is the conduct of
dragnet operations or other coordinated operations with in the province or
between. Among PPO’s/CPO’s/Police Districts within the region.
The Tactical Operations Center links the police station and its various units/
patrol officers, other units, the Provincial/City/District Tactical Operations
Center, other law enforcement agencies, auxiliary components, and the
community. PNP personnel manning the TOC should maintain a
Communication Log containing the source, time and contents of
conversation on all calls. They must undertake certain procedures in
processing and disseminating information to make the Integrated Patrol
System successful. Further, they must enable the Chief of Police and the
patrol supervisors to keep track of the situation in the various patrol beats
and sectors as often as needed.
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
The patrol supervisor, patrollers, and personnel of the Tactical Operations

Center are given tasks to provide direction and meaning to patrol operations.
When these personnel perform their tasks, they become effective
components of the Integrated Patrol System. Hence, the police will be seen,
felt and experienced by the community when patrol operations are properly
performed
Objectives of Patrol There are four
(4) main objectives in the conduct of patrol, namely to prevent crime to
enforce the law; maintain public safety and security; and develop a
sustainable police-community partnership.
1. Crime Prevention.
The mere presence of patrol officers on the streets reduces, if not totally
eliminates the opportunity of a criminal to commit crime Patrol officers, on a
daily basis, acquire firsthand information and experience on the situation in
the community particularly identifying the crime prone areas and the usual
suspects or recidivists. Hence the conduct of patrol and the appropriate
deployment of patrol officers to reduce if not totally prevent climes is an
indispensable component of policing.
2. Law Enforcement.
Familiarity in the community helps the patrol officers in law enforcement.
Patrol officers can Immediately enforce the law where there are suspicious
activities monitored or reported by the community and in the conduct of
directed police operations.
3. Public Safety and Security.
Police visibility helps relieve apprehensions of the community knowing that
a police officer is just around ready to assist and to respond in case of
emergency. Patrol officers can facilitate the management of an emergency
situation bring it to normalcy, and keep the citizens calm and safe. The
conduct of patrol creates an atmosphere of safety and security to the
community as police response can be promptly dispensed. Moreover, other
non- hostile public safety concerns i.e., existence of an open manhole, fallen
electrical posts, fire Incident etc. can be acted upon by the patrollers by
coordinating with the concerned agency to address the situation. This
specific function of the police is one of the basic proactive elements of
community policing which many developed countries are now adhering to.
4. Police-Community Partnership
Patrollers are deployed to serve as ‘'ambassadors of goodwill" of the police
to the community. Whatever they do, good or bad, reflects directly to the
entire PNP Institution. As such patrol officers must possess the needed skills
on public relations and community organizing as well as on problem-solving
and strategy development. With stronger rapport with the community
patrollers subtly establish information network that can be developed as
Barangay Information Networks Crime information will naturally flow from
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
the community as peace and order becomes a shared and balanced

responsibility between the police and the community.
In essence, patrolling, which is regarded as the backbone of policing,
becomes the ENGINE of the Police Station that will generate most of our
policing, outputs and accomplishments.
PATROL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
This defines the imperatives in patrol operations.
Procedures are set to guide the Chiefs of Police in developing their
respective Police Station Patrol Plans. The policies and procedures set herein
are the minimum requirements and may be supplemented by local
commanders depending on the peculiarities in their Areas of Responsibilities
or AOR
Patrol Policies
Patrol policies are general guidelines in the conduct of patrol operations,
These policies set the limits around decisions and direct the mindset of the
members of the police unit to be consistent with the patrol objectives The
COP must see to it that the concept and strategies of QUAD Policing are
being followed at the police station particularly by the patrollers,
The following patrol policies shall guide the police units in the conduct
of Patrol operations.
1. Patrol Plan - a MUST for all Police Stations
It is the responsibility of the Chief of Police to formulate a Station Patrol
Plan and ensure its proper implementation. Patrol Plan shall serve as the
blueprint of crime prevention strategy of Police Stations, wherein most of
the Station's activities must be aligned with. It is often said that if you fail to
plan, you are actually planning to fail. The PDs/CDs must ensure that their
Police Station Patrol Plans are integrated and attuned to the prevailing crime
situation and emerging crime problems. Field units of the National
Operational Support Units (NOSUS), particularly the Highway Patrol Group
(HPG), Maritime Group (MG). Special Action Force (SAF), and Aviation
Security Group (AVSEGRP) shall work together with the concerned police
stations to integrate their efforts as well as maximize the joint use of
resources in patrolling their common areas of responsibility. This is in
consonance with the directive issued by the PNP placing all regional offices
of the National Support Units (NSUsunder the Operational Control
(OPCON) of the Regional Director of PROS.
2. Utilization of Station Personnel
As the PNP is still wanting in numbers, all uniformed personnel of the police
station must render patrol duties or other forms of police visibility to
maximize police presence on the streets. As a matter of policy, ninety
percent (90%) of the police station personnel must be patrolling their beats
or conducting other forms of police visibility operations on a full-time basis.
The remaining ten percent (10%), after performing administrative duties,
shall likewise contribute to police visibility. Desk Officers, TOC, and
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
personnel performing administrative functions, on rotation basis, shall be

given specific schedules to patrol or perform other police visibility
operations, i e, deployment in and around schools, town plaza, business
centers, and other places close to the police station. Critical periods must be
considered in relieving or posting of patrol officers.
The Provincial Directors (PDs)/City Directors (CDs), and the Chiefs of
Police (COPs) shall determine the length of time each personnel of the
police station must allocate for patrol and other forms of visibility
operations. This is to ensure that the needs and peculiarities of their
respective areas of responsibility are properly addressed.
3. Utilization of Force Multipliers
The conduct of joint patrols at the barangay level with force multipliers like
the Barangay Peacekeeping Action Teams (BPATS) and Barangay Tanods
as a component of the Integrated Patrol System shall be maximized. Police
Supervisors however must see to it that clear-cut guidelines on any
cooperative efforts between the police and concerned force multipliers are
properly laid out and sustained.
4. Resource Utilization
The Chief of Police shall maximize the use of the police station's resources
(personnel, logistics, and funds) to support its patrol and visibility operations
to attain the objectives set. The COP shall endeavor to mobilize resources
from the community stakeholders. Any help or assistance whatsoever
coming from any NGOs or cause-oriented groups (and its subsequent
utilization) must be legitimately recognized and coursed through the proper
offices of the police station and higher headquarters.
5. Patrol as Mandatory Requirements for Junior PCOs and PNCOs
Newly recruited PO1s and newly assigned PNCOs as well as new Police
Inspectors of the police station shall be required to render a mandatory
period of assignment as patrollers before being considered for other
assignments within the police station. Organic PNCOs without patrol duty
shall also be required to render the mandatory period of patrol duties.
6. Documentation
Patrol duties performed by the COP down to the patrol officers must be
reflected in the Police Station Patrol Log. This will institutionalize
transparency and accuracy in recording the duration of patrol and visibility
operations as well as the number of man-hours rendered by every police
officer of the police station.
7. Review and Evaluation of Patrol Plan
The station patrol plan periodically evaluated, assessed, modified and re-
implemented accordingly to be responsive to the existing crime situation. In
particular, deployment must be based on Crime Pattern Analysis (CPA) and
emerging crime problems (ECP), which are ever-changing even on a daily
basis.
Patrol Procedures
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
Patrol deployment procedures provide a detailed set of instructions for

patrollers to perform sequence of actions that occurs regularly before, during
or after the patrol operations. These procedures are set to organize the
conduct of patrol operations and maximize the use of resources to attain the
objectives set. Strict implementation of these procedures will also prevent
lapses that could compromise the safety and security of patrol officers. The
following shows the mandatory procedures for patrol operations.
A. Preparatory Conference: Quad Policing Approach

To prepare for the pre-deployment briefing, the COP or the DCOP shall
meet the Quad Staff, Patrol Supervisors, and other key personnel of the
police station to discuss matters pertaining to their respective function. They
shall review and evaluate on a daily basis the ECP and CPA in order to
guide the police station in deploying its resources and determining the
suitable policing actions to be undertaken. It is also a venue to disseminate
information which will be discussed during the pre-deployment briefing.
Moreover, every member of the Quad Staff must be ready with information
needed for the pre-deployment briefing. Information may come from higher
headquarters, LGU Prosecutor, Judiciary, from the community, or feedback
from the patrollers themselves. This information must be discussed with the
COP or DCOP prior to the conduct of pre-deployment briefing for uniform
understanding and delivery of outputs that may be required from the
patrollers for the second and/or third shin whenever is applicable the COP or
DCOP and the patrol supervisors must see to it that information relayed by
the QUAD Staff shall be disseminated to the incoming patrollers With this.
Quad policing is then continuously observed down to the level of patrollers.
The figure below shows the interplay of the Quad Functions during the
preparatory conference;
B. Pre-Deployment Briefing: A Must
The conduct of pre deployment briefing by the COP/DCOP or designated
Patrol Supervisor is mandatory. It is an important function of management
of directing subordinates. The patrol officers shall report at the police station
or at the designated venue at least thirty (30) minutes before the start of the
shift for accounting, Inspection, and briefing Patrollers need to be told of
situational updates and specific tasks to accomplish during their four of duty.
The following must attend the pre-deployment briefing:
a. COP Deputy COP
b. QUAD Sa Chiefs of Sections:
c. Duty PCOs and Key PNCOS
d. Duty TOC Personnel
e. incoming and outgoing Patrol
f. Supervisors and
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
g. Patrollers
The purposes of which are the following:

1.Form and account the members of the patrol teams at the police unit,
headquarters, or any other places such as town, plaza, market place, and
other places which could create formidable effect to would-be violators at
least thirty (30) minutes before the start of the shift.
2.Inspect patrollers for completeness and appropriateness of uniform
grooming, and equipment.
3.Arm pat rollers with information such as warrants of arrest photos of
persons of Interest, list of wanted vehicles compliances to directives
accounting of loose firearms, and even updates about ongoing PNP
recruitment programs NAPOLCOM examination and other related subjects
for dissemination to the community | (through distributable materials and
hands-on promotion)
4.Brief the patrol officers on the situation in the last 24 hours. Reiterate the
MUSTIDO" during the shift or the outputs that they must deliver after their
shift and show individual contribution to the efforts of the station to reduce
crime. These instructions must be recorded in the patrollers individual
journal/notebook.
5.Remind the patrollers that accountability to the community and to the PNP
organization starts at the lowest possible level or at the point of delivery of
service to the public.
6.Eliminate inactivity if not laziness of individual personnel. Officers who
continue to be unproductive for a given period must be summoned
questioned, and be aptly investigated if necessary for possible disciplinary
actions.
7.Educate the patrollers about their roles/tasks during their tour of duty/shift
with particular focus on QUAD policing, such as:
a. on the area of Intelligence, patrollers may act as bee workers or collectors
of information of significant value to the police, Patrollers shall comply with
the requirements of the intelligence unit addressing the information
requirements to address the AOR's crime pattern and emerging crime
problems. As long as the COP and supervisors are amply informed a
patroller may develop his/her own but legitimate network of useful sources
as long as it adheres to police principles and guidelines.
b. For Investigation, patrollers need to ad on the requirements of the
investigation unit such as assistance in the serving of warrant of arrest,
provision of assistance to victims and witnesses, serve summons, and other
matters which may help station investigators.
c. PCR component in QUAD policing may be best par exemplified by
patrollers in their daily contact with the community Patrollers serve as the
conduit of the police station to the community. As the patrollers build
rapport with the community, in a way, they are addressing some of the
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
breeding grounds of crime. They can easily develop information network

organize community volunteers, and mobilize the community to help the
police in the maintenance of peace in their assigned beat As such, any peace
and order and quality of life issue surrounding the community must be
relayed to the Cop for appropriate intervention.
d. With proper information, the operations component of QUAD policing
can draw responsive strategies, and even on a daily basis, adjust the station's
patrol plan to ensure that the efforts of patrollers are directed to reducing
crime and in maintaining peace and order. Patrollers become more effective
when they are armed with necessary information and have a program of
activities to introduce and perform as they go around in their assigned beat
together with the force multipliers.
The incoming patrol supervisor or the COP/DCOP or any other PCO acting
as patrol supervisor shall accomplish the Pre-Deployment Checklist
incorporated in the Daily Patrol Report and give the TOC a copy of the
checklist and the office of the COP. The checklist shall form part of the
Daily Patrol Report to be submitted after the tour of duty,
Patrol Operations
The Patrol Supervisor oversees the patrol operations during the officer's tour
of duty. He is accountable for the proper implementation and execution of
deployment procedures during duty shifts. Patrollers, on the other hand, shall
perform all tasks given during the pre-departure briefing and those given by

relieved.
After the pre-deployment briefing, members of the Foot Patrol shall proceed
to the designated beats to relieve in place the outgoing foot patrol officers.
Similarly, members of the Mobile Patrol shall wait at the Police

Documentation
Documentation of the activities serves as basis for review and evaluation of
the effectiveness of the crime
prevention program of the police station. Documentation is necessary for the
following purposes.
a. Pre-Deployment Briefing. This should be reduced into written report
which include but not limited ho
inspection, gathering and dissemination of information, and
instructions/orders to the patrollers

responded to and activities done
including compliance to the specific tasks given by the patrol supervisor and
the concerned staff.
c. Patrol Log. The log officially records the patrol operations and other
policing activities rendered by all police
station personnel. The Patrol Log shall be the only basis for computing the
number of man-hours rendered by
every uniformed personnel and the whole station. This will likewise correct
the practice of some field units in
reporting their patrol and visibility outputs based on the number of man-
hours rendered which, in some cases,
do not reflect the actual man-hours spent on the ground.
The Patrol Log serves the following purpose;
1. ensure accountability of personnels
2. As a more accurate and reliable basis for computing patrol man-hours
rendered by every uniformed
personnel of the police station and the whole station for that matter
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
3. Gauge the effectiveness of the crime prevention program the police

station, and,
4. As reference for the issuance of certification on the patrol man- hours
rendered by every uniformed
personnel, which may be used as basis for rating, designation to a higher
position, and promotion
The Chief Operations Section shall fill out the stations Patrol Log every day
based on the Daily Patrol Report and attest to the correctness of the entries
made The Patrol Log to be displayed at the Operations Section shall contain
among others, the following, information:
a. Names of all uniformed personnel in the police station;
b. Dates and shifts of patrol duties;
c. Nature of duties performed;
d. Number of patrol man-hours rendered by every uniformed personnel and
the whole police station on a daily basis, and
e. Response time, which refers to the time that elapsed from the moment that
a police officer received the information up to the time the officer arrived at
the incident scene.
Review and Evaluation
Review and Evaluation (R&E) is a necessary tool in management of various
forms. Peter Drucker, a
management guru once wrote, "what gets measured, gets managed". This is
true in policing, we cannot really tell if our strategies are on the right track
or delivering us the desired results if there are no feedback mechanisms or
systems established. Through R&E, the COP would also know the necessary
resources needed to further enhance the implementation of his/her patrol
plan. The conduct of R&E at the police station level becomes a two-way
process as it can also serve as a feedback mechanism to the community.
When feedback is communicated to the community, including the local chief
executives, the benefits of having ideal management principles can be
beneficial as the COP can easily mobilize additional resources To conduct
an honest-to-goodness evaluation, the COP must organize a committee
involving the community stakeholders at the station level to conduct
monthly review, and to assess, modify and iterate the implementation of the
Station Patrol Plan accordingly to be responsive to the ever changing crime
situation in the area. The Committee shall be composed of, but not limited
to, the following:
a. The Local Chief Executive or his/her representative;
b. The Chairman of the Peace and Order Committee of the City Municipal
Council
c. Representatives from the following:
1.Women sector
2. Youth sector
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
3.Business sector
4. religious sector
5.Transport sector
d. The President of the Association of Barangay Chairmen:
e. At least two residents from the place mostly affected by prevailing crimes;
and
f. The Deputy Provincial Director for Operations or S3 of PPO/CPO.
The Committee shall have at least fourteen (14)members. They shall choose
a Chairman from among
themselves. The COP shall not act as Its Chairman but rather play the role of
a facilitator, providing all the data needed by the committee members in
order for them to come up with a meaningful evaluation However, at the
Sub-Station and PCP levels, the COP shall require the Sub-Station or the
PCP Commander to organize a Review and Evaluation Board to conduct
weekly assessment on the implementation at the deployment plan: wherein
result must be reported to the Chief of Police Members may come from the
politicians of the Barangay and the community sector who are mostly
affected on the prevailing peace and order concern-There should be at least
seven (7)members of the Review and evaluation Board at the Sub-Station or
PCP level who select the chairman from among themselves.
The Sub-Station or PCP Commander shall not act as its Chairman but rather
play the role of a facilitator, providing all the data the Review and
Evaluation Board needs. The Quad Staff of the station shall join the weekly
meetings of the Board at the Sub-Station or PCP level to ensure that the
QUAD Policing strategy at the station level is replicated down to the Sub-
Station and PCP levels.
The duties and responsibilities of the Review and Evaluation Board may be
summarized as follows:
a. To check the appropriateness of police deployment by evaluating If is
attaining the desired output and outcome, he reduction of crime incidence,
b. To adjust the Station Patrol Plan based on the result of the review and
evaluation process:
c. To serve as a functional mechanism of the station to gather feedback
d. To communicate the results of the Patrol Plan and other crime prevention
strategy of the police station to the community:
e. To mobilize the needed resources with the help of the community:
f. To promote transparency on the anti-crime efforts of the police station,
thereby eliminating misunderstandings between the police, the media and
the community and
g. To develop that sense of responsibility and accountability among patrollers
being "co-workers" with the community as they realize in themselves that
they are being evaluated by the people themselves.
Tel. No. 0925-870-1013
Other modes or programs such as community dialogues and informal

surveys may also be done to further gather feedback and validate the result
of the evaluation by the committee. To ensure objective conduct of review
and evaluation. the evaluation committee may draw some of the parameters
from the following:
a. The Police Station's Patrol Plan;
b. The objectives set for the station and the individual patrollers vis-à- vis
their actual accomplishments as reflected in the Station Patrol Log and Daily
Patrol Report:
c. The performance indicators, i.e. reduction in index crime volume:
Increase in non-index crime volume as a result of police-initiated operations,
increase in crime solution efficiency: number of patrol man-hours
performed; improvement in the response time; reduction of complaints
towards the police, accuracy of reports/information submitted; increase in
the number of wanted persons arrested: increase in the number of force
multipliers/crime prevention volunteers; LGU and NGO support; and
improvement in the level of trust and perception towards the police; and,
d. The resources available at the station such as personnel strength and
competencies, and the Move-Protect-Communicate Investigate capability of
the station.
At the Provincial Director's (PD'syCity Director's (CD's) initiative, PPOs
CPOs may design their respective crime prevention indexes to gauge further
the performance of the police stations. They must ensure that the Patrol
Plans of all police stations are responsive to the prevailing crime situation in
their respective AORs. They shall, as often as possible, check their
implementation and gather feedback from other members of the community
to validate and measure their effectiveness.
Importantly, the performance of the COPs shall also be regularly evaluated.
A committee shall be formed at the Police Regional Office level with the
Deputy Regional Director/Deputy District Director as Chairman, the
Regional/District Staff and the PD/CD as members to conduct monthly
assessment on the performance of the COP based on the output of their
Patrol Plan. The purposes of the evaluation are.
a. Ascertain if the objective of the patrol plan is being attained;
b. Assist the COP in improving his Patrol Plan and in its execution
c. Assist the COP in his needed resources to maximize patrol operations
d. Mentor the COP on leadership and in managing the Police Station, and.
e. Give inputs to the RD/DD/PD to assess who best fits to be the COP of a
particular Police Station considering its peculiarities
The Committee shall recommend to the RD/DD/PD, necessary intervention

including the relief of non-performing or under-performing COP's
