prevention rather than just reaction.

Proactive Measures: Police often engage in proactive measures to address underlying issues and
maintain public safety.

Philippines:

Community-Oriented Policing: While community-oriented in theory, challenges like resource

constraints may impact the full implementation.

Varied Approaches: Policing models can vary across regions due to geographical and cultural
diversity.

Challenges: The Philippines faces challenges like high crime rates in certain areas and resource
limitations.

2. DISCUSS THE HISTORY AND EVOLUTION OF THE VARIOUS POLICING MODELS;

Sweden:

Medieval Origins: Policing in Sweden has medieval roots, initially involving local watchmen
responsible for maintaining order in their communities.

Royal Constabulary: Over time, Sweden established a more formalized Royal Constabulary in the 18th
century to centralize law enforcement.

Modernization: The 20th century saw the modernization of Swedish policing, emphasizing
professionalism, community engagement, and crime prevention.

Current Approach: Sweden’s contemporary policing model is characterized by a strong emphasis on

community relations, trust-building, and a proactive stance on crime prevention.

Philippines:

Colonial Influence: Policing in the Philippines was initially shaped by Spanish colonial authorities,
introducing a system focused on maintaining social control.
American Period: During the American colonial period, policing underwent further changes,
incorporating aspects of the U.S. police model.

Post-Independence Era: The Philippines’ post-independence era saw the evolution of policing models
influenced by cultural and societal changes.

Contemporary Shifts: In recent years, there has been a shift towards community-oriented policing,
emphasizing collaboration, problem-solving, and a more proactive approach.

3. COMPARE AND DIFFERENTIATE THE POLICING SYSTEM OF YOUR ASSIGNED GROUP COUNTRY
TO THE POLING MODEL OF THE PHILIPPINES TO THEIR:

POLICE HISTORY

Sweden’s policing history is relatively recent compared to other European countries. The Swedish
police force, known as Polisen, was established in 1965 as a result of a merger between the National
Criminal Investigation Department and the local police forces. The Scandinavian Model has been
successful in reducing crime rates in Sweden, with a homicide rate of 0.4 per 100,000 people in 2020,
compared to a homicide rate of 6.4 per 100,000 people in the Philippines in the same year.

In the Philippines, the history of policing can be traced back to the Spanish colonial period when the
first police force, known as the Guardia Civil, was established in 1821. After gaining independence
from Spain in 1898, the Philippine Constabulary (PC) was created in 1901 to maintain law and order.
The PC was later renamed the Philippine National Police (PNP) in 1986 during the presidency of
Corazon Aquino.

The PNP has faced numerous challenges over the years, including corruption, human rights abuses,
and political interference. In response to these issues, several reforms have been implemented, such
as the creation of the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) in 1991 to oversee police personnel
and promotions.
