PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE
HISTORY: The Philippine National Police (PNP) originated from the Philippine Constabulary
or the PC, which was inaugurated on August 8, 1901, establishing it as an insular police force
under the American regime. On August 8, 1975, Presidential Decree no. 765 was issued,
establishing the Philippine Constabulary Integrated National Police or the PC/INP as the
country’s national police force. These fragmented and diverse local police units were integrated
into a national police force with the Philippine Constabulary as its nucleus.

After the People’s Revolution in 1986, a new Constitution was promulgated providing for a
police force, which is “national in scope and civilian in character.” Consequently, Republic Act
No. 6975 entitled, “An Act Establishing the Philippine National Police under a Reorganized
Department of the Interior and Local government (DILG),” was signed into law on December
13, 1990, which took effect on January 1, 1991. Subsequently, the PNP was operational on
January 29, 1991, whose members were formerly the PC and the INP and the absorption of the
selected members from the major service units of the Armed Forces of the Philippines such as
the Philippine Air Force Security Command, the Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Navy, and
the Philippine Army.

Thus, to further strengthen the PNP into a highly efficient and competent police force, Republic
Act No. 8551 entitled “PNP Reform and the Reorganization Act of 1998” was enacted on
February 17, 1998, amending certain provisions of Republic Act No. 6975.

MISSION: To enforce the law, to prevent and control crimes, to maintain peace and order, and
to ensure public safety and internal security with the active support of the community.

VISION: Imploring the aid of the Almighty, by 2030, We shall be a highly capable, effective
and credible police service working in partnership with a responsive community towards the
attainment of a safer place to live, work and do business. 

OBJECTIVES:

The PNP shall enforce the law, prevent and control crimes, maintain peace and order,
and ensure public safety and internal security with the active support of the community.
Law Enforcement. Maintain peace and order. Prevents and investigates crimes and bring
offenders to justice. To establish stronger partnership between the PNP and relevant
partners from the government, NGOs, and sectoral groups, and the international
communities to ensure compliance to HR standards.
MEANING OF THE LOGO:
Lapu-Lapu Hero - The great Filipino hero of Mactan, the
prototype of the best and most noble in Filipino manhood who is
the symbol and embodiment of all the genuine attributes of
leadership, courage, nationalism, self-reliance and a people-based
and people powered community defense. The benevolent and
heroic warrior who derived added strength from a cohesive,
determined and loyal people is today a fitting symbol and a

professionalism and courage. The PC has carved out a large part of the glorious pages of
Philippine history, as attested by its proudly and deservedly garnering 86 of the 92 "Medals of
Valor" the highest honor that a grateful Filipino nation can bestow on its gallant sons in the
service of the Republic. Most appropriately therefore, the Philippine Constabulary became the
nucleus of the Integrated National Police in 1975 to nurture the then embryonic concept of the
nationalization of the country's local police forces.

Three Stars - Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao and the 1,700 islands and the territorial integrity
wherein the National Police must enforce the law and maintain peace and order with
professionalism, zeal and dedication in keeping with the highest ideals and traditions of service
to our country and people.

BUREAU OF JAIL MANAGEMENT AND PENOLOGY
HISTORY: On January 2, 1991, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology was created thru
Republic Act 6975 as a line Bureau under the Department of Interior and Local Government.
The Jail Bureau is the upgraded version of its forerunner, the Office of Jail Management and
Penology of the defunct PC/INP last headed by BRIG GEN Arsenio E. Concepcion.

As mandated by law, the BJMP shall operate under the reorganized Department of the Interior
and Local Government. 

Starting from scratch with 500 personnel in 1991 the BJMP weaned from its mother PC/INP as a
mere component, to become a full-fledged bureau. Director Charles S. Mondejar took his oath of
office on July 1 of 1991 as the first Chief of the Bureau. 

The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology supervises and controls all district, city and
municipal jails.

MISSION: To enhance public safety by ensuring humane safekeeping and development of


Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) in all district, city, and municipal jails for their reintegration
to society.

VISION:

OPERATION AND INVESTIGATION:

OPERATION:
PERSONNEL AND RECORDS MANAGEMENT: For many years, the BJMP has struggled
to meet the operational needs of the agency regarding the safekeeping of persons deprived of
liberty (PDL) due to the lack of Human Resources and increasing number of PDL. With only just
over 12,000 staff responsible for over 140,000 PDL in early 2018, the ability for the BJMP to
meet day to day operational needs and in turn, the provision of the duty of care based on the
United Nations Minimum Standard Rules for the Treatment of PDL (Nelson Mandela Rules)
were a significant challenge. Out of necessity, most jail staff are multi-tasked depending on the
operational priorities of each individual jail without due consideration of the skill set of the staff
member or the impacts on the PDL. 1 Further, and again out of necessity, an informal system of
co-management exists within BJMP jails between the limited staff and PDL. In response to this
dire staffing shortage, in July 2018 the Government of the Philippines allocated 1,000 new Jail
Officer 1 positions within the BJMP with an additional 2,000 positions both in 2019 and 2020,
bringing the total number of BJMP staff to 17,067 in 2020. Prior to 2018, the BJMP received an
annual allotment of 500 recruits.

Over the past several years, a multitude of projects and initiatives with the goal of improving
human resource management at the BJMP have been undertaken to better meet both the
operational needs of the Bureau and the humanitarian needs of PDL, while at the same time,
propelling the Bureau toward PRIME-HRM Level 3 accreditation. As a result, in 2020, the
BJMP achieved PRIME-HRM Maturity Level 2 accreditation and received approval from the
Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) for a new organizational structure for
jail units. Based on the operational needs of the newly approved organizational structure for jail
units, the BJMP Minimum Deployment Standards (MDS)3 was developed to outline the
operational needs of each jail unit. Utilizing the BJMP MDS tool, as of July 2020, the Bureau
estimates that 44,829 staff are required to meet the BJMP operational needs resulting in a need.
ADMINISTRATION: The Jail Bureau shall be headed by a Chief who shall be assisted by a deputy
chief.

The Jail Bureau shall composed of city and municipal jails, each headed by a city or municipal
jail warden: Provided, That, in the case of large cities and municipalities, a district jail with
subordinate jails headed by a district jail warden may be established as necessary.

The Chief of the Jail Bureau shall recommended to the Secretary the organizational structure and
staffing pattern of the Bureau as well as the disciplinary machinery for officers and men of the
Bureau in accordance with the guidelines set forth herein and as prescribed in Section 85 of this
Act.

LOGISTICS: Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) exercises supervision and
control over all city and municipal jails, including their establishment and maintenance in every
district, city and municipality for a secure, clean, adequately equipped and sanitary jail for the
custody and safekeeping of city and municipal prisoners, any fugitive from justice, or person
detained awaiting investigation or trial and/or transfer to the national penitentiary, including
violent mentally ill person who endangers himself or the safety of others, duly certified as such
by the proper medical or health officer, pending transfer to a mental institution.

PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE CRIMINAL DETECTION AND


INVESTIGATION GROUP

HISTORY: The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, widely known as the CIS, came
into existence out of the great necessity of the Philippine Constabulary to organize a unit that
would primarily handle the investigation of major crimes. This move aimed to free other
constabulary units of the time consuming and highly specialized investigative works. 

The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) has its beginnings in 1901 with the
creation of the Information Section of the Insular Constabulary pursuant to Section 2 of Act 253
of the Philippine Commission. It was given the task of investigating crimes against the security
of the state. Before the outbreak of World War II, it was renamed Information Division and later
Police Affairs Division.
On January 19, 1953 it was formally christened as the Criminal Investigation Service (CIS)
under the C-2 Division of the Philippine Constabulary. It was given the task to "detect,
investigate and prosecute major crimes in coordination with other law enforcement bodies."
Sometime in 1960, CIS was placed under the C-3 Division. With the upsurged of criminality
during the early 70's, it became necessary for all field units of the CIS to be placed under the
direct command and control of a CIS Chief based in Camp Crame. The reorganization was
contained in General Order Number 132, HPC dated January 1, 1971.

In line with the reorganization of the PC into 12 Regional Commands, the CIS also underwent
another change in its organizational set-up. Pursuant to GO Nr 135 HPC dated August 9, 1978.
Twelve (12) CIS Regional Offices were created to provide investigative support to the PC/INP
Regional Commands all over the country. 

When RA 6975 was enacted into law in 1991, CIS continued to be the primary investigating arm
of the Philippine National Police charged with the following missions: 1) Undertake the
monitoring, investigation, and prosecution of all crimes involving economic sabotage, and other
crimes of such magnitude and extent to indicate their commission by highly placed or
professional criminal syndicates and organizations; and 2) Investigate all major cases involving
violations of the Revised Penal Code and operate against organized crime groups, unless the
President assigns the case exclusively to the National Bureau of Investigation.

From then on, CIS was renamed Criminal Investigation Service Command (CISC) then to
Criminal Investigation Command (CIC), Criminal Investigation Group in 1996 and finally
renamed to PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) pursuant to NHQ LOI
49/96 code name "Detektib".

Philippine National Police Aviation Security Group
HISTORY: In response to the invitation of the United States Government, representatives from
the 54 nations met at Chicago to "make arrangements for the immediate establishment of
provisional world air routes and services" and "to set up an interim council to collect record and
study data concerning international aviation and to make recommendations for its improvement."

The Conference also discusses the principles and methods to be followed in the adoption of a
new aviation convention."

The Convention on International Civil Aviation (also known as Chicago Convention), is later
signed by 52 States at the end of the Chicago Conference in the Grand Ballroom of the Stevens
Hotel on December 7, 1944 establishing the Provisional International Civil Aviation
Organization (PICAO) pending ratification from the 26 States.

On March 5, 1947, the ratification from the 26 States was received and on April 4, 1947, the
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) came into force.

On October 1947, the ICAO became a specialized agency of the United Nations linked to
Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

On December 16, 1970, the convention for the suppression of unlawful seizure of aircraft took
place at the Hague, Netherlands by which the contracting states agreed to prohibits and punish
aircraft hijacking. It came into effect on October 14, 1971 after it was ratified by 10 states.

On September 23, 1971, the convention for the suppression of unlawful acts against the safety of
civil aviation took place at Montreal, Canada which the contracting states agreed to prohibit and
punish behavior which may threaten the safety of civil aviation and came into effect on January
26, 1973 after it was ratified by 10 states.

On June 19, 1971, the Philippine Congress enacted RA 6235 known as the anti-hijacking law.
An act that prohibits certain acts inimical to civil aviation, making it unlawful for any person to
compel a change in the course of an aircraft of Philippine registry or seize, or usurp the control
thereof while it is in flight.

On April 28, 1976, the Philippine gov’t issued presidential letter of instruction nr. 399 creating
the national action Committee on anti-hijacking or the NACAH, with the secretary of the
national defense as chairman and seven other agencies as members.

On June 1, 1976, the Armed Forces of the Philippines-Aviation Security Command or the
AVSECOM was organized as the implementing arm of NACAH with the primary mission of
ensuring the continuous and uninterrupted operation of civil aviation industry in the country.

On March 1, 1986, AVSECOM was later renamed as the Philippine Air Force Security
Command or PAFSECOM by virtue of Headquarters, AFP General Orders number 37.
On December 31, 1990, with the enactment of RA 6975, otherwise known as an act establishing
the PNP under a reorganized Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG). The
chairmanship of NACAH was transferred from DND to the DILG. The mission and functions of
the defunct PAFSECOM was transferred to the PNP.

On July 1, 1991, the PNP assumed the responsibility of ensuring the uninterrupted and secured
operation of the civil aviation industry in the country thru the Police Aviation Security Command
or PASCOM which was later renamed as the PNP-Aviation Security Group with its acronym
PNP-ASG by virtue of General Hqs PNP Memorandum Circular Number 96-01 dated September
12, 1996.

The National Hqs, PNP amended the acronym PNP-ASG to PNP-AVSEGROUP pursuant to

Philippine National Police Maritime Group


HISTORY: The need for a maritime law enforcing unit was not a new concept under the new
law. It is in fact an off-shoot of the rapidly expanding and multi-faceted role of policing in the
country during the 1970’s. The conceptual foundations of such a unit were taken from the
seaborne battalion of the Philippine Constabulary. The Constabulary Off-Shore Anti-Crime
Battalion or COSAC was created on February 1, 1971 and was tasked to curb illegal activities in
the maritime environment. The advent of RA 6975 deactivated the Philippine Constabulary in
1991 and subsequently the COSAC colors were encased. This made the effective dissolution of
all Constabulary units in the country.

             The 1987 Philippine Constitution mandates the creation of one national police force
which is civilian in character. The passing into law of RA 6975 on December 13, 1990 merged
and reorganized the PC/INP into the encompassing Philippine National Police which activated
the Maritime Command on January 16, 1991 to be one of its National Operational Support Units
pursuant to NHQ PNP General Order No. 58.

              In order to facilitate the organizational development of the unit, NHQ, PNP designated
then PCSUPT ADAM M JIMENEZ, JR, as its first Director effective January 16, 1991. The
newly created unit was then a conglomeration of several personnel from AFP and INP. Organic
members of the Philippine Navy and the Philippine Coast Guard also joined the PNP Maritime
Command. Other PC/INP officers and men were also absorbed to form its core of personnel.

            It was later renamed as PNP Maritime Group pursuant to NAPOLCOM Resolution No.
96-058 dated September 12, 1996 and further renaming its “Maritime Districts” to “Regional
Maritime Office (RMO)”.

           The Maritime Group was envisioned to be the primary PNP Unit responsible in law
enforcement in the maritime environment. Its mission then was to perform all police functions
over Philippine territorial waters and rivers. It is tasked to carry out the mandated police
functions over Philippine territorial waters and rivers to include ports and harbors and small
islands with the responsibility of securing and keeping safe a total of 36, 289 kilometers of
coastlines throughout the 7,107 islands of the entire archipelago and safeguarding a sea area
which is nine times bigger than the country’s total land area.

           At present, to carry out its mission, the Group have seventeen (17) Regional Maritime
Units with its fiftyseven (57) Maritime Police Stations, eleven (11) Maritime Police Precincts,
two (2) Special Operations Units and three (3) Support Units were strategically positioned all
over the Philippine Archipelago. 
VISION: By the Year 2020, PNP Maritime Group shall be a competent and well-equipped
organization cabapable of maintaining a safe, secure and peaceful maritime environment in
partnership with the maritime stakeholders.

MISSION: To perform all police functions and ensure public safety and internal security over
Philippine territorial waters and rivers including ports of entry and exit; and sustain the
protection of the maritime environment.

BUREAU OF CORRECTIONS
HISTORY: Corrections in the Philippines started during pre colonial times. It was however
organized on individual community basis. It was only during the Spanish regime when an
organized corrective service was made operational.

WHEN THE AMERICANS TOOK OVER IN THE 1900s, THE BUREAU OF PRISONS WAS
CREATED UNDER THE RE-ORGANIZATION ACT OF 1905 (Act No. 1407 dated November
1, 1905)

The main penitentiary was the Old Bilibid prison in Oroquieta Street, Manila, which was
established in 1847 pursuant to Section 1708 of the Revised Administrative Code. It was
formally opened by a Royal Decree in 1865. About four years later or on August 21, 1869, the
San Ramon prison and penal farm in Zamboanga City was established to confine Muslim rebels
and recalcitrant political prisoners opposed to the Spanish rule. The facility, which faces Jolo
sea, has the Spanish-inspired dormitories and originally set on a 1,414 hectares sprawling estate.

When the Americans took over in the 1900s, the Bureau of Prisons was created under the
Reorganization Act of 1905 (Act No. 1407 dated November 1, 1905) as an agency under the
Department of Commerce and Police. It also paved the way for the re-establishment of San
Ramon Prison in 1907 which was destroyed during the Spanish-American War. On January 1,
1915, the San Ramon Prison was placed under the auspices of the Bureau of Prisons and started
receiving prisoners from Mindanao.

Produce were transported through rail tracks, a mode which the Americans introduced to prison.

Prisoners had to contend with dilapidated facilities within the cramped area.

Before the reconstruction of San Ramon Prison, the Americans established in 1904, the Iuhit
penal settlement (now Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm) on a vast reservation of 28,072 hectares. It
would reach an aggregate total land area of 40,000 hectares in the late 1950s. It was located on
the westernmost part of the archipelago and far from the maintown to confine incorrigibles who
the government had found little hope of rehabilitation. The area was expanded to 41,007 hectares
by virtue of Executive Order No. 67 issued by Governor Newton Gilbert on October 15, 1912.
Other penal colonies were established during the American regime. On November 27, 1929, the
Correctional Institution for Women (CIW) was created under Act No. 3579 while Davao Penal
Colony in Sourther Mindanao was opened in 1932 under Act No. 3732. The CIW was fo7unded
to provide separate facilities for women offenders and to cater to their gender difference. To
date, it is the lone women’s prison in the country.
Owing to the increasing number of committals to the Old Bilibid Prison in Manila, the New
Bilibid Prison was established in 1935 in a southern suburb of Muntinlupa, Rizal. The old prison
was transformed into a receiving center and as a storage facility for farm produce coming from
the colonies. It is presently abandoned and under the jurisdiction of the Public Estates Authority.

Prisoners have to build their basic housing areas using materials available in the prison
reservation.

After the American regime, two more penal institutions were established. These were Sablayan
Prison and penal farm in Occidental Mindoro under Proclamation No. 72 issued on September
26, 1954 and Leyte Regional Prison under Proclamation No. 1101 issued on January 16, 1973.
The Bureau of Prisons was renamed Bureau of Corrections under the New Administrative Code
of 1987 issued on November 23, 1987 and Proclamation no. 495 of the President. It is one of the
attached agencies under the supervision and control of the Department of Justice.

VISION: A safer society by 2028 through reformed persons reintegrated by a highly efficient
and competent corrections service.

MISSION: To protect the publc by safekeeping and reforming persons under our custody
adhering to international standards of corrections service.

OBJECTIVES: The Principal task of the Bureau of Corrections is the rehabilitation of National
Prisoners.[5]
The Bureau carries out the following task to carry out its mandate:[5]

 Confine persons convicted by the courts to serve a sentence in national prisons.


 Keep prisoners from committing crimes while in custody.
 Provide humane treatment by supplying the inmates' basic needs and implementing a
variety of rehabilitation programs designed to change their pattern of criminal or anti-
social behavior.
 Engage in agro-industrial projects for the purpose of developing prison lands and
resources into productive bases or profit centers, developing and employing inmate
manpower skills and labor, providing prisoners with a source of income and
augmenting the Bureau's yearly appropriations.

Offenders convicted by the courts to serve sentences of three years or more are kept at the prison
facilities of the bureau of corrections: they are classified as national prisoners. those meted with
lighter sentences, as well as those with pending cases before the regional trial courts, are
confined in provincial jails under the local government; while those awaiting trial in municipal
trial courts or serving light penalties (e.g., infraction of city or municipal ordinances) are
detained in city, municipal or district jails under the bureau of jail management and penology.
juvenile delinquents are normally sent to youth rehabilitation centers under the juvenile justice
and welfare council pursuant to R.A. 9344 unless the sentencing judge specifically orders for
them to be confined at the national penitentiary, as in cases where the juvenile convict acted with
discernment or the offense committed was grave.

 The ideal ratio of Fireman to the PPE he utilized is 1:1 but in reality it is not observed in the field. At
present, the region have one hundred eighty seven (187) fire boots, which is an improvement from last
year with an increase of 19.87 percent; a total of eighty-eight (88) fire gloves with no change from last
year; and two hundred twenty seven (227)  serviceable fire helmets that marks an increase of 15.82
percent. There are sixty five (65) pairs of trousers that marked a decrease with -2.99 percent while the
number of fire coat increases to 1.33 percent. Lastly, there is no serviceable breathing apparatus
available.

 It is been said that the life of the rescue or fire operation depends on the equipment and gears
that he possess, besides it is standard procedure that before rescuing or engaging in any fire operation,
the fire fighter must make sure that he is protected from all the hazards in the environment so it is
recommended that the shortage of protective equipment must be addressed immediately.

PHILLIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE:

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

Regardless of the type of function to be performed and/or police operations to be conducted, all
PNP personnel must know by heart and shall comply with and apply the following principles and
procedures:

RULE 1. FUNCTIONS OF A POLICE OFFICER

1.1 To Serve and Protect

The responsibility of every police officer is to serve the public and protect life and property.
No police operation shall be conducted in order to serve or protect the illegal activity of a
particular person, group or criminal syndicate.

1.2 To Observe Human Rights and Dignity of Person

All PNP personnel shall respect the human rights and dignity of the suspect/s during police
operations.

Every police officer on patrol, whether on board a vehicle or on foot patrol, must always
carry with him a police notebook, a pen and the Miranda Warning Card. The notebook,
which is approximately pocket-sized, will be used to inscribe important events that transpire
during his tour of duty.

2.4 Carrying of Non-Lethal Weapon in the Police Rig


Every police officer shall carry in his prescribed rig a non-lethal weapon (pepper spray,
baton or stun gun), which shall be primarily used in a non-armed confrontation with an
uncooperative and unruly offender during the arrest.

OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES
RULE 4. PRE-OPERATIONAL CLEARANCE

No police operation shall be conducted without the approval of the


Chief/Commander/Head of the concerned Police Unit/Offi ce. A pre-operational
clearance shall be fi led by the Team Leader of the operating team/s prior to the conduct
of the operation and shall be approved by the concerned Police Unit Commander. This
clearance shall be submitted to the operations section/division of the concerned police
unit for record purposes.

RULE 5. INTER-UNIT COORDINATION5.

1 Personal Coordination or by Official Representative

Team Leader/s (TL) of local police units operating outside their territorial jurisdiction and
National Support Units (NSUs) shall coordinate, personally or through an offi cial
representative, with the Police Regional, Provincial or City Police Offi ce within whose
jurisdiction the operation is to be conducted.

5.2 Coordination by Filing Coordination Form

Prior to the launching of the operation, except in cases where the formal (in writing)
inter-unit coordination cannot be made due to the nature and/or urgency of the situation
such as, but not limited to, cross-jurisdictional pursuit operations, coordination should
be made formally using the prescribed Coordination Form, which shall be fi led with
the concerned operation center of the Police Regional, Provincial or City Offi ce
(Annex “A” – Coordination Form).

5.3 Coordination by Practical/Available Means of Communication

In cases where formal inter-unit coordination is not feasible, the Police Unit concerned
shall endeavor to notify the territorial police office through any practical/available
means of communication at any time during the operation and, if not possible, shall
accomplish and furnish the territorial Police Office a written incident report
immediately after the termination of the operation.
RULE 6. REQUIREMENTS OF POLICE OPERATIONS

1.1 Basic Requirements

Police operations like arrest, search and seizure, checkpoint, roadblocks, demolition and civil
disturbance management shall be conducted as follows:

a. With a marked police vehicle;

b. Led by a Police Commissioned Officer (PCO); and

c. With personnel in prescribed police uniform or attire.

6.2 Use of Megaphones and Similar Instruments

During actual police intervention operations, the Team Leader shall use peaceful means
including the use of megaphones or any other similar instruments to warn or infl uence the
offender/s or suspect/s to stop and/or peacefully give up.

1.2 Warning Shots Prohibited

The police shall not use warning shots during police intervention operations.

RULE 7. USE OF FORCE DURING POLICE OPERATIONS

7.1 Use of Excessive Force Prohibited

The excessive use of force during police operation is prohibited. However, in


the lawful performance of duty, a police officer may use necessary force to
accomplish his mandated tasks of enforcing the law and maintaining peace and
order.

7.2 Issuance of Verbal Warning

The police officer must first issue a verbal warning before he could use force
against an offender. As far as practicable, the verbal warning shall be in the
dialect that is known to the offender or in the national language. Basically the
verbal warning shall consist of the following: the police officer identifying
himself; his intention; and what he wants the offender to do. If the offender is a
foreigner, the verbal warning shall be done in the English language followed by
a demonstrative act of the police offi cer’s intent. The verbal warning shall be
done in a loud and clear manner.

7.3 Non-Issuance of Verbal Warning When Excusable


The failure to issue a verbal warning is excusable in cases where threat to life or
property is already imminent, and there is no other option but to use force to
subdue the offender.

7.4 Use of Non-Lethal Weapon

When suspect is violent or threatening, and that less physical measures have
been tried and deemed inappropriate, a more extreme, but non-deadly measure
can be used such as baton/truncheon, pepper spray, stun gun and other non-
lethal weapon to bring the suspect under control, or effect an arrest.

7.5 Application of Necessary and Reasonable Force

During confrontation with an armed offender, only such necessary and


reasonable force should be applied as would be sufficient to overcome the
resistance put up by the offender; subdue the clear and imminent danger posed
by him; or to justify the force/act under the principles of self-defense, defense
of relative, or defense of stranger.

7.6 Factors to Consider in the Reasonableness of the Force Employed

A police officer, however, is not required to afford offender/s attacking him the
opportunity for a fair or equal struggle. The reasonableness of the force
employed will depend upon the number of aggressors, nature and characteristic
of the weapon used, physical condition, size and other circumstances to include
the place and occasion of the assault. The police offi cer is given the sound
discretion to consider these factors in employing reasonable force.

7.7 Responsibility of the Police Offi cer in Charge of the Operation

The police officer who is in charge of the operation shall, at all times, exercise
control over all police personnel in the area of operation and shall exhaust all
possible means to apply the necessary and reasonable force to protect lives and
properties during armed confrontation.

RULE 8. USE OF FIREARM DURING POLICE OPERATIONS

8.1 Use of Firearm When Justified

The use of fi rearm is justifi ed if the offender poses imminent danger of causing death or injury
to the police offi cer or other persons. The use of fi rearm is also justifi ed under the doctrines of
self-defense, defense of a relative, and defense of a stranger. However, one who resorts to self-
defense must face a real threat on his life, and the peril sought to be avoided must be actual,
imminent and real. Unlawful aggression should be present for self-defense to be considered as a
justifying circumstance.

8.2 Firing at Moving Vehicles Prohibited But with Exceptions

A moving vehicle shall not be fi red upon except when its occupants pose imminent danger of
causing death or injury to the police offi cer or any other person, and that the use of fi rearm does
not create a danger to the public and outweighs the likely benefits of its non-use.

8.3 Parameters to be Considered in Firing at Moving Vehicles

In fi ring at a moving vehicle, the following parameters should be considered:


a. The intent of the suspect/s to harm the police officer or other persons;
b. The capability of the suspect/s to harm with certainty the police officer or other persons; and
c. Accessibility or the proximity of the suspect/s from the police officer and other persons.

8.4 Filing of an Incident Report After the Use of Firearm

A police officer who fi res his service fi rearm or weapon during a confrontation with an
offender or offenders must submit an incident report outlining the circumstances necessitating
the use of his fi rearm.

8.5 Procedures After an Armed Confrontation

Immediately after an armed confrontation, the officer who is in charge of the operation shall:
a. Secure the site of confrontation;
b. Take photographs;
c. Check whether the situation still poses imminent danger;
d. Evacuate the wounded to the nearest hospital;
e. Ensure that all persons who died on the spot are not moved from their original position;
f. Arrested suspects should be kept in isolation;

g. Conduct debriefi ng on all involved PNP operatives;
