Crime Prevention awareness of community--In order for a crime prevention program to

work at the public level, the community needs access to accurate crime data and crime
hotspots to promote awareness which can lead to crime prevention. Information is the
most important tool of the public in order to take appropriate measures to prevent crime.
(Vasiljevic-Prodanovic, 2012)
 Moreover, crime prevention in its broad sense may even include an initial step
describing awareness of crimes. Awareness of crime and feeling of security lead to a
healthy and sustainable community (Marzbali, Abdullah, Razak, & Tilaki, 2012)

2. Police Community Relationship- Communities rely on police departments to "protect and

serve" and the police, in turn, rely on community support and cooperation, Strong
relationships of mutual trust between police agencies and the communities they serve are
critical to maintaining public safety and effective policing. Police officials rely on the
cooperation of community members to provide information about crime in their
neighborhoods, and to work with the police to devise solutions to crime and disorder
problems. Similarly community members’ willingness to trust the police depends on
whether they believe that police actions reflect community values and incorporate the
principles of procedural justice and legitimacy. (President’s Task Force on 21st Century
Policing, 2015.)

3. PNP protection to public- 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. The police have core operational duties which include:
1. protecting life and property
2. Preserving order 
3. Preventing the commission of offences
4. Bringing offenders to justice (2020/PNP PRO13/Designed, Developed and Maintained
