peaceful means including the use of megaphones or any other similar means,
to influence/warn the offenders/suspects to stop and/or peacefully give up.
WARNING SHOTS

This rule was lifted from the FBI Manual but was found to be very
unpopular to policemen in the beat. However, the PNP decide to adopt this
rule because of the danger posed by warning shots to life and property
especially in crowded areas.

to overcome the threat posed by the suspect. The Officer, in charge of the
operation shall at all time exercise control over his men in the area, and shall

character, size and other circumstances and also the place and occasion of
the assault
