THE APPROACHES IN

POLICE PLANNING
5 MAJOR APPROACHES IN POLICE
PLANNING

1) SYNOPTIC APPROACH
2) INCREMENTAL APPROACH
3) TRANSACTIVE APPROACH
4) ADVOCACY APPROACH
5) RADICAL APPROACH
WHAT IS SYNOPTIC PLANNING?

o Also known as rational comprehensive

approach.
o It is the dominant tradition in planning.
o Based on problem oriented approach.
o Focused on specific problem and solution
that often confront law enforcement.
STEPS IN SYNOPTIC PLANNING

A. Prepare for planning

B. Described the present situation
C. Develop projections and consider alternative
future states
D. Identify and analyze problems
E. Set goals
F. Identify alternative course of action
 3 TECHNIQUES TO SELECT ALTERNATIVE

1) Strategic Analysis – study on the courses of actions,

suitability studies, feasibility studies and judgment.
o Suitability - each course of action is evaluated in
accordance with general policies, rules and laws.
o Feasibility - include the appraisal of the effects of a
number of factors weighed separately and together.
o Acceptability – those judge to be suitable and
feasible are then analyzed in acceptability studies

2)Cost-effectiveness Analysis
o Sometimes called benefit or cost
performance analysis.
o The purpose of this form of selection in that
the alternative chosen should maximize the
ratio of benefit to cost.
 3 TECHNIQUES TO SELECT ALTERNATIVE

3) Must-wants Analysis – method of selecting a

preferred course of action combine the strength of
both strategic an cost effectiveness analysis.
o Plan And Carryout Implementation
o Monitor Evaluate Progress
o Summation Of The Synoptic Planning Approach
o Repeat The Planning Process
WHAT IS INCREMENAL PLANNING ?

o Incrementalism concludes that long range and

comprehensive planning are not only too difficult
but inherently bad.
o Problem are seen as too difficult when they are
grouped together and easer to solve when they
are taken one at a time and broken down into
gradual adjustment over time.
WHAT IS TRANSACTIVE PLANNING?

o Carried out in face-to-face interaction with the people

who are affected by the plan.
Techniques include:
o Field survey
o Interpersonal Dialogue marked by a process of mutual
learning
o Found in crime detection and prevention program
o Used in determining public opinion of police
WHAT IS ADVOCACY PLANNING

o Beneficial aspects of this

approach include a greater
sensitivity to the unintended and
negative side effects of plans
WHAT IS RADICAL PLANNING?

o First mainstream involves collective action to

achieve concrete results in the immediate
future.
o Second mainstream is critical of large scale
social processes and how they permeate the
character of social and economic life at all
levels, which, in turn, determine the structure
and evolution of social structure.
 CONSIDERATION IN POLICE PLANNING

1)Primary Doctrines
o Fundamental Doctrines - the basic
principles in planning organization and
management of the PNP in support of the
overall pursuit of the PNP vision, mission and
strategic action plan of the attainment of
the national objectives
CONSIDERATION IN POLICE PLANNING

o Operational Doctrine - the principles and rules governing the

planning, organization and direction and employment of the
PNP forces in the maintenance of peace and order, crime
prevention and suppression, intern security and public safety
operation.

o Functional Doctrines - these provide guidance for specialized

activities of the PNP in a broad field of interest such as
personnel, intelligence, operations, logistics, planning, etc.
CONSIDERATION IN POLICE PLANNING

2) Secondary Doctrines
o Complimentary Doctrines - formulated by two or more
bureaus in order to effect a certain operation with regard to
public safety and peace and order.
o Participation of other bureaus of BJMP, BFP, PPSC, NBI and
other law enforcement agencies.
o Ethical Doctrines - define the fundamental principles
governing the rules of conduct, attitude, behavior and ethical
norm of the PNP.
CONSIDERATION OF POLICE PLANNING

3)The Principles Of Police - organization

principles are considered in police
planning in order not to violate them
but rather for the effective and
efficient development of the police
plans.
