2. Secondary Doctrines
Complimentary Doctrines - Formulated jointly by two or more bureaus
in order to effect a certain operation with regard to public safety and
peace and order. These essentially involve the participation of the other
bureaus of the Bureau of Jail and Management and Penology (BJMP),
Bureau of Fire and Protection (BFP), Philippine National Public Safety
College (PPSC), National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and other law
enforcement agencies.
2. Describe the present situation - planning must have a means for evaluation and
without an accurate beginning database, there is no reference point on which to
formulate success or failure. A primary purpose of planning is in evaluation. Or
comparing "what is" with "what should be."
3. Develop projections and consider alternative future states-projections should be
written with an attempt to link the current situation with the future, keeping in mind
the desirable outcomes. It is important for the police executive to project the current
situations into the future to determine possible, probable and desirable future states
while considering the social, legislative and political trends existing in the community.
4. Identify and analyze problems - the discovery of the problems assumes that a
system to monitor and evaluate the current arena is already in place. Closely related to
the detection and identification of issues is the ability of the police to define the
nature of the problem- that is to be able to describe the magnitude, cause, duration
and the expense of the issues at hand. A complete understanding of the problem leads
to the development of the means to deal with the issues.

5. Set goals - making choices about goals is one of the most important aspects
of planning. It makes no sense to establish a goal that does not address a
specific problem. Remembering that the police departments are problem-
oriented, choices about goals and objectives should adhere to the synoptic
model.
6. Identify alternative courses of action-alternatives are means by which goals
and objectives can be attained. They may be policies, strategies or specific
actions aimed at eliminating a problem. Alternatives do not have to be
substitutes for one another or perform other functions. It is important that the
activities that a police department engages in actually contribute to the
achievement of the goals.
7. Means-Ends Analysis - this is one method of trying to ensure that the police
department's programmatic efforts and expenditures do make an appropriate
contribution toward arriving at the desired state. Means- ends analysis
charting is also a very effective method in which alternatives can be identified
in the planning process.

Musts - are placed at the top of the page. These are conditions that are set by the police chief
and that absolutely have to be met in order for an alternative to continue to be a viable choice.
Failure of any alternative to meet a must condition immediately eliminates it from further
consideration.
Wants-are conditions, performances, characteristics, or features that are desirable but not
absolutely necessary. They are listed below the musts and the corresponding data for each want
are completed for each alternative that was not discarded at the previous step.
Weight-reflect the subjective importance of the want as determined by the police chief. It has a
scale of 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).
Score is the evaluation of the actual existence of wants by the chief. The score from 1-10 is set
by the chief to reflect an assessment of the subjective or actual existence of the want. The
weight and score are multiplied and summed.

8. Plan and carry out implementation implementation requires a great deal of tact
and skill. It may be more important "how" an alternative is introduced to a police
department than "what" it actually is. the
9. Monitor and evaluate progress - evaluation requires comparing what actually
happened with what was planned for and this may not be a simple undertaking.
Feedback must be obtained concerning the results of the planning cycle, the efficiency
of the implementation process, and the effectiveness of new procedures, projects or
programs. This is an important step of synoptic planning trying to figure out what, if
anything, happened as a result of implementing a selected alternative.
10.Summation of the synoptic planning approach. This is done by making a summary
of the presentation in tabular of other forms of presentation.
11. Repeat the planning process. Repetition of the planning process enables the
planner to thresh out possible flaws in the plan.
