Part 2: Program Brief (3000 character limit on Google Form)

Please briefly illustrate your program

Originally named Palayan City Out of School Youth Junior Police as organized on March 6, 2019 and was
formally started/opened thru an opening ceremony on August 28, 2019. It was later relaunched into
Junior Police on November 12, 2021.

It was conceptualized to enhance the peace and order situation in every barangay through monitoring
and implementation of ordinances and other laws which redounds to the benefit of the entire
community. Thus, peaceful and orderly living implies harmony which entails opportunity towards better
living condition. One Hundred Ninety (10 persons per barangay) out-of-school youths were hired to
serve as peace keeping forces for two days (16 hours) a week for P2,000.00 a month allowance. Their
allowances are provided by the City Government while their work is directly supervised by the Barangay
Council where they reside.

Direct beneficiaries comprise 190 out-of-school youths who need additional source of income to sustain
their basic needs while indirect beneficiaries are the residents whose every wish is a livable community,
a peaceful and orderly environment where there is a harmonious relationship among residents and
barangay officials.
Primary objective of this program is to motivate the youths to become future community leaders who
are duty-bound to monitor the implementation of laws/ordinances and other directives towards
peaceful environment. Moreover, serving as Junior Police provides them the opportunity of becoming
financially not dependent to their parents, thus, sustaining their daily basic needs.

Each of the 190 Junior Police shall serve/work for sixteen (16) hours a week in the barangay where they
reside. They are tasked to complement the existing peacekeeping forces (Barangay Tanods) in the
barangay.

A Group Chat among the 190 Junior Police, the Barangay Official in-charge of the Peace and Order
Committee, the Barangay Tanods and the Palayan City Police Station has been existing since the
inception of this program.

efficiency, productivity, quality, service delivery, etc. For innovation to occur, something more than the generation
of a creative idea or insight is required: the insight must be put into action to make a genuine difference, resulting
for example in new or improved processes within the organization, or changes in the services provided.

on March 6, 2019). After few months of preparation for its implementation, a ceremony entitled
“Opening Ceremony of Palayan City Youth Volunteers Out-of-School Youths Junior Police” was held
August 28, 2019. From then, all 190 hired Junior Police served as volunteers. And after two years of its
proven efficiency in the maintenance of Peace and Order, the program was launched/innovated into
Junior Police on November 12, 2021.

being manned/operated by the PNP personnel who supervises all 190 Junior Police.

Junior Polices’ function is to serve as Peace and Order advocates. They also serve as implementers of
Covid-19 measures which is to limit entry of people to the barangay (during the lockdown). They man,
together with Barangay Tanods the entry and exit passageways to every barangay. However, being
prone to the dreaded pandemic, the Barangay LGU to where they are assigned considered and listed
them among the frontliners, thus, they were trained to prevent themselves from catching the disease.

Upon reporting to their work assignments, they are armed with the appropriate PPEs- alcohol, face
mask/shield and a logbook where they jot down plate numbers of motor vehicles entering/leaving in the
barangay and the names of suspicious individuals. A radio complements their cellular phones as a means
of communication. These radios are assigned to their fellow peace advocates- the Barangay Tanods. A
groupchat- JUNIOR POLICE OFFICIAL GC has been created as their medium of communication for reports
and information to expedite delivery of services.

Being employed as peace-keeping workforces, their assignments are both directly supervised by the
