ABSTRACT
The study on Pnp Community Engagement Program aimed to strengthen the community’s
trust to the Pnp by building good interactions with the law enforcers and the projects that
are being implemented. The study adopted the quantitative correlational method by
conducting survey among selected Pnp and Community residence who have participated
frequency and percentile ranking. As per the result the respondents strongly agree on the
variable that community engagement programs enhance people’s trust to the Police
because it showed there are still good honest law enforcers in the service. The findings
led the researchers to propose enhancements programs that will lead to the establishment
l. INTRODUCTION
Today Philippine society is facing many problems and issues in the economic,
social and political aspects, As the different problems arise like terrorism, poverty.
bureaucracies and other socio-political and socio-economic issues happening today in
our country. the Philippine National Police (PNP) is still the one people looked up to as
the institution that could at least safeguard its citizens. The PNP is mandated by our
constitution to protect the welfare of every citizenry. The police organization is created to
produce goods and services. It presupposes to
live its best to achieve the purpose for when created through its people by utilizing skills,
knowledge and techniques in the performance of their duties and responsibilities. The
PNP is an organization tasked to enforce the law. prevent crimes. maintain peace and
order and ensure public safety and internal security with the support of the community.
The role of police in the present society has been described and analyzed in a number
of ways. The PNP is charged with the responsibility of promoting peace and order and
public safety. As guardians in the continuing search for ensuring peace and order. it
shall utilize different kinds of measure. for last and effective communication and
information dissemination. The PNP is faced with an important task and that is
motivating people to become highly professional, dynamic and motivated and all of them
most be inspired to live in service honor and justice.
The role of the community is a dynamic part of the progress and development of
the nation. To attain such endeavor, the individual components of the society must feel
secured and peaceful. Basically, the residents in a certain community must have trust
and respect to the people who are in charge of their safety. With this idea, the Philippine
national police (PNP) envision to provide a safe and conducive place to work towards a
more productive society.
Community policing is a framework that aims to improve quality of life and increase
public safety through collaboration between police officers and community members. In
community policing, the job of the police is not limited in responding to incidents, but also
to help solve community problems; to problem-solve not just for residents, but with
residents. At a critical juncture for the future of the police, law enforcement organizations
that haven’t yet jump on the community policing bandwagon would benefit from taking a
differ look at the police.
Strong relationships of mutual trust between police agencies and the communities they
Serve are critical to maintaining public safety and effective policing
Police and the community may cooperate to address issues of crime, disturbance, and
safety while also enhancing everyone's quality of life thanks to the philosophy and
organizational strategy of policing Experience shows that community safety and security
significantly increases when communities have a fundamental part in defining their own
security and safety needs and are involved in developing, implementing, and monitoring
locally specified solutions to their challenges.
When it comes to whether a victim of violence reports the incident and receives
adequate care, whether the offender is captured, subjected to an investigation, and
brought to justice, and whether the community as a whole takes effective steps to stop
violent incidents in the future, the quality of relations between community organizations,
citizens, and local security personnel - typically the police - is frequently the deciding
factor. Increased trust and police responsiveness to and prevention of violence can
result from the implementation of a community police force or other community policing
techniques.
To provide public goods and services is constrained by low legitimacy and a lack of
confidence. This issue is particularly relevant to policing since officers need knowledge
OLINSTERG COLLEGE, INC.
about community events in order to deliver services effectively and efficiently. The
location of crime hotspots, information about suspicious individuals or activities,
complaints of crimes that have already occurred, and information about the most
important issues are all provided to the police by the public. The little resources the
police have are allocated by the police using this information to deter crime and maintain
public safety. This entire system collapses when people lose faith in the cops.
Integral to that sense of peace and safety is the relationship between law enforcement
and the community in which they live and serve. Police-community relations is a term
that can encompass everything from the physical interactions between officers and
civilians to the intangible emotions between them such as respect and trust. Essentially,
police-community relations are the relationship between the police and the communities
they serve. Healthy police-community relations are synonymous with a healthy
community.
When both entities are working together toward the same goal, everyone benefits. Police
depend on the community to report crimes, cooperate as witnesses, and even look out
for themselves and other officers. Police work runs much more smoothly with the trust
and cooperation of the community. This results in lower crime rates, more effective
police investigations, and an overall safer community.
However, if there is mistrust, then a perception that the goals of the police and the
community are contraposed begins to take over, and the entire community becomes
dysfunctional. If the police feel that every citizen is a threat to them, they may be more
likely to resort to violence instead of de-escalation techniques. If policing becomes
heavy-handed and violent, it will make the community feel unsafe and make them more
prone to refuse to cooperate with the police. A vicious negative feedback loop
subsequently develops that is destructive to both the police and the community they
serve. Preserving healthy police-community relations is not only beneficial to both
groups but fundamental to a safe and prosperous society.
Research Gap
The research trends in focusing on Community-based Program Towards in the
Philippine National Police to enable available research to be mapped and summarized.
Gaps in research result can be identified. It will also provide direction for future
researchers on implementing community-based program. Consider the program is made
by the Philippine National Police we expected a relevant impact on the community on
their relationship behavior, thus we considered these variable to be possible predictors
of programs made by the Philippine National Police for the Community.
According to the American Bar Association the year 2020 was clearly an
extremely challenging time for communities and law enforcement agencies throughout
the United States. High-profile use-of-force incidents led to days of protests; civil unrest;
and, tragically, further
violence, destruction, and death. Unfortunately, these protests have, in far too many
communities, further widened the gap between police agencies and their communities.
Azumah (2019) For the police to continue to rely on informants' information on crime, a
relationship between the police and community people is necessary. This has been the
guiding concept in many of the developed nations of the world when tackling crime. The
study focused heavily on the relationship between community members and police in
providing information for combating crime, the efficacy of informants' information in
fighting crime, and measures that could improve the relationship between community
members and police in protecting informants in crime investigation within communities
(Tepa and Hwediem) in Brong-Ahafo Region.

public and the police.
attract more diverse applicants; provide regular crisis intervention, de-escalation, and
implicit bias training to all officers; and evaluate and make any necessary improvements
to existing use-of-force and disciplinary policies. Future research should continue to
evaluate the impact of community policing on crime rates, the impact of body-worn
cameras on misconduct, and the correlation between higher education and misconduct.
Abiodun (2019) the efficacy of Nigerian police in combating crime. The condition
is blamed on the centralized management adopted by most police organizations, which
isolates officers from their serving areas. To properly combat crime, all hands must be
on deck. As a result, the current study explored the role of community policing on crime
reduction in Lagos state. The study was led by four distinct aims. A questionnaire was
used to collect data, and the sample size for the study was 50 people, including police
officers, civil servants, private workers, artisans, and others. The sample was drawn at
random from Ajeromi-Ifelodun, Mushin, Surulere, Ikeja, and Amuwo-Odofin local
governments. The acquired data was descriptively evaluated using frequencies and
percentages, and the outcome was Levan.
by examining how police talk about themselves, their coworkers, and how they use
social categories to comprehend how they engage with the public.
However, they also present unparalleled capabilities for monitoring the police and
exposing, disseminating, and mobilizing around perceived injustices, such as police
brutality or racial profiling.

This research study give emphasis to theories which would also serve us a foundation of
this research for more better and reliable understanding regarding to the subject of this
study:
This situational theory of leadership refers to those leaders who adopt different
leadership styles according to the situation and the development level of their team
members. It is an effective way of leadership because it adapts to the group needs sets
a beneficial balance for the whole organization.
Situational approach has received much criticism about this theory since only a few
research studies have been done to justify the assumption and proposition of the
approach (Northouse, 2016).
Despite the lack of research studies, situational approach is still widely used in real-life.
Situation approach indicates that based on different situations, leaders need to change
their leading styles to fit with the situations. It is true not only to leadership style but to
anything in life. If there is a problem, we need to find the way to solve it by being flexible
and adaptive to the situation. Life is spontaneous so we could not know what will happen
in the future. The situational approach points out that leaders need to be ready for any
situation that happens in the future.
In addition, the situational approach is practical and easy to use. The situational
approach is straightforward. It emphasizes the flexibility of the leadership to base on the
situations. The leaders cannot be based on one single leading style but they need to
combine and adjust it in different situations to get the best out of it. “Effective leaders are
those who can change their own style based on the goal requirements and the followers
need, even in the middle of the project” (Northouse, 2016). The goal of the situational
approach is to find out different and unique needs of the followers and all deserve our
needs to help them improve better.
Situational approach is to find out different and unique needs of the followers and all
deserve our needs to help them improve better.
Indeed, the situational approach might not have a lot of scientific studies for it but it is
practical and necessary in real-life. I would recommend a situational approach since it is
flexible and adaptive which is necessary in leadership styles.
Situational approach would help the leader to better prepare for any situations and
problems that happen in the future

1.5 Hypothesis
There is no significant relationship between the PNP community engagement program
and the perception on the image of the Philippine National Police by the community
residents.
To the Community. This study will help the community to strengthen their trust with the
PNP by building good interactions with the projects that aligned in this study.
To the Law Enforcers. This study will give ideas to PNP Personnel to build trust in the
public eye or in the community. This will help the PNP Personnel how to satisfied the
community of the program they made.
To The Future Researchers. This research can be a basis of their future study. They
can get some studies and literature in this study and be a reliable source for research
references. It will also give these researchers an additional knowledge about the influence of
social media use, social media behavior, and cognitive biases among student voters and
how they apply them to themselves.
1.7 Scope and Delimitation of the Study
The study will focus on the PNP Community Engagement Program Basis for
Peace and Order. To know how can the Philippine National Police implement the said
projects liked Pulis Natin Program. As a researcher we will conduct a survey questionnaire
that asks the PNP Personnel about their community engagement program.
Our goal as a researcher and our objectives are to find out if the programs being
implemented are effective and to know the issues they are facing and, in the community, if
they are enough to restore their trust in the police which is no longer afraid to talk or interact
with them because this is the key to reduce our crime when the community and the police
are unite.

II. METHODOLOGY
This part of the study presented the methodology and procedures that were used in
gathering the needed data for this research work. It included the research design,
respondents, settings, instrumentation, data analysis and ethical considerations.
The study on PNP Community Engagement Program Basis for Peace and Order
will utilize a Quantitative research method.
Quantitative research is the process of collecting and analyzing numerical data. It can be
used to find patterns and averages, make predictions, evaluate causal relationships, and
generalize results to wider populations. It is widely used in the natural and social
sciences: biology, chemistry, psychology, economics, sociology, marketing, etc.
This research is a descriptive-correlational study is to collecting and treating data for the
study of Community Engagement Program Towards of the Philippine National Police.
What kind of relationships naturally occurring variables have with one another. In simple
terms, correlational research seeks to figure out how two or more variables are related
and, if so, in what way.
2.2 Respondents
The respondents of this study were the Philippine National Police and the community
residents in the Municipality of Tiaong Quezon Province. The total number of
respondents of this study were comprised of fifty (50) respondents in which twenty (20)
were PNP Personnel and thirty (30) were community residents. Their participation to the
study is deemed important due to their actual knowledge in building a good relationship
toward enhancement of trust between community and the Philippine National Police.
2.3 Settings
This study was conducted from April to June 2023. the Primary purpose of this
study was to highlight the PNP community engagement program in the Municipality of
Tiaong, Quezon involving the active participation of selected community residents in
order to develop a proposed enhancement plan toward peace and order.
2.4 Instrumentation
In order to assess the validity and reliability of the researcher made survey
questionnaire prior to the execution of the study the researchers carried out a pilot
testing by conducting a survey to find out the perceptions of the community residents on
the implemented PNP community engagement programs.
The instrument used to conduct the study was a survey that composed of series of
questions designed specifically to this study.
The first part of the questionnaire is; What information Campaign Drive may be proposed
to enhance the implementation towards image of the Philippine National Police. The
second part is asking the community if is helpful the programs of the PNP of “Community
Based program”.
The respondents will be from the Police District of Tiaong Quezon Province. This will be
utilized to gather information from those police aged twenty-five (25) to forty (40) years
old regardless of their sex.
For the initial part of the study the researchers compiled reviews of related literature
which contained necessary information on the PNP community enhancement programs
towards the building of trust by the community residents.
The data collected in this research was treated statistically using the frequency,
weighted mean and percentile ranking on the profile and perceptions of the respondents
toward the PNP community engagement program.
The researcher also used the convenience and random sampling techniques
were in the mix of PNP Personnel and community residents were based on the ease of
accesibility for the researcher.
The researchers issued a letter of approval for the study and forwarded it to the
local authorities in the area where the study will be conducted. Following the approval of
the letter request, the researcher approached the study's respondents to get insight into
the researcher's questions, which they had honestly answered.
After obtaining the information and data needed for the study the researcher gathered all
relevant data and will assess the opinions expressed by each responder based on their
own knowledge and free choice.
Pearson correlation will be used to analyze the significant relationship between variables
whereas, **Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). *Correlation is significant
at the 0.05 level (2-tailed). Verbal Interpretation of r-values: +1.0 Perfect positive +/-
