Introduction

The Philippine National Police today continue to reinvent its

policing system on the fast growing communities and social
interaction becomes complex as social inventions interface with
various issues in the community that sometimes develop into a
problem on peace and order. Partnership with the community is
now one of the central focuses of the PNP. It is an indispensable
tool in bringing the police closer to the people. The PNP newly
designated public relations and communications strategies want
the police to level up by developing a strategic communication
program that will be truly responsive to the needs of the
public. It is a police activity where the police become very
visible and its presence is physically felt by the community. This
is done through community interaction.
 Community immersion is a version of service
learning that is more integrated with the individual’s
passion and interests, is longer- term and is related to
the on-going development of community and social
justice issues. Become involving citizens learning through
worthwhile tasks and developing leadership, advocacy and
problem solving skills. Community Immersion Program deals
with the people to enhance the image of the Philippine
National Police. Dealing with the community is a one way of
promoting the good relationship between the police and
the community
 The Community Immersion Program designed by and
intended for the city it serves that help the PNP build
bridges and establishes partnership in the community. The
program has the powerful effect that it requires
participants (Police Officers) to immerse themselves in a
portion of the community, engage in dialogue with
members of that group, learn about individual
motivation and values, and then teach what they have
learned to their peers. The program becomes the beginning
of relationship between police officers and citizens. The
PNP focuses on the importance of diversity tolerance,
human and civil rights and understands that successful
policing entails with citizens of the community.
