POLICE ORGANIZATION AND

ADMINISTRATION (TRI-
BUREAU)

LEAPAD 140

By: Edwin N. Moradilla

INTRODUCTION
The history of policing and its forms have existed several thousand years,
with religious, political, or military police wielding power as early as the
time of Babylon. Early police were typically either military or semi-military
organizations that evolved from the personal bodyguards of rulers and
warlords or from community organizations in which citizens banded
together fro mutual protection. The duties of the military type of police
consisted of keeping the public order and enforcing the religious or
political mandates of those in power.
Rome, under Emperor Augustus, had one of the earliest forms of organized
policing in 7 B.C.. He divided Rome into 14 regions, each into vicus
(precincts) and commanded by vicomagistri, responsible for the fire
protection, administrative and religious duties. Augustus, created three
groups of police, part of army of the state, and placed under the command
of urban prefect. Later on this group of policemen were called emperor’s
own bodyguard (the Praetorian Guard).
As the city and town grew it calls upon the creation of special body of men
whose duty is to enforcement of laws within their territory. It was at this
moment of history started the Policing method, that we have in this
modern period.

Organizational Concepts and Principles
Theory of Organization by Luther Gullick

1..Planning – working in a broad outline the things that need to be done and the methods
for doing them to accomplish the purpose set for the organization. In other words it is the
act of knowing what to do and how to do it.
2..Organizing – the establishment of formal structure of authority, through which work
subdivisions are arranged, defined and coordinated for the defined objective.
3..Staffing – the whole personnel function of bringing in and training the staff and
maintaining favorable conditions of work. It is the filling and keeping filled positions in the
organizational structure.
4. Directing – the continuous task of making decisions and embodying them in a specific
and general orders and instructions and serving as the leader of the organizations.
5. Coordinating – all important duty of interrelating the various parts of the work. It is the
manner of integrating the different elements within or outside the organization into an
efficient and harmonious relationship, thus making them work together or fit with each
other.
6.Reporting – keeping those to whom the executive is responsible, informed as to what is
going on, which thus includes keeping himself and his subordinates informed through
records, research and inspection.
7. Budgeting – all that goes with budgeting in the form of fiscal planning, accounting and
control. It is the management of income and expenditures within the organization.
 THE POLICE ORGANIZATION

The word Police comes from the Greek word

POLITEIA, which means “a government of a city”,
the Romans borrowed the word modifying it into
POLITIA, adopting its meaning. It was later
borrowed by the French and changed it into
POLICE ,means a person who enforces the law.
● POLICE ( broadest sense) – internal organization
or regulation of a State, the control and regulation
of a community through the exercise of the
Constitutional power of government.
DEFINITION CONTI...

crime and the execution of laws.
FUNDAMENTAL THEORIES OF POLICE SERVICE

● CONTINENTAL THEORY- policemen are servants of

the higher authorities, and the people have little
or no share at all in their duties, nor any direct
connection with them. It is practice in France,
Italy, Spain with centralized government pattern.
● HOME RULE THEORY- policemen are servants of
the community, who depend for the effectiveness
of their functions upon the express wishes of the
people. Policemen are civil employees whose
duty is preservation of public
peace and security. Practiced in England and
U.S.A. where government pattern is
decentralized.
● CONCEPTS OF POLICE SERVICE:
● 1. Old Concept- police is looked upon as
repressive machinery. This means placing more
people in jail rather than keeping them out.
Punishment is the only crime control, and the
yardstick of police efficiency is more on arrest.
● Modern Concept – it considers police as an
organ of crime prevention. Its activities includes
certain aspects of social services, and has for its
objectives the welfare of the individual as well as
that of society. The yardstick of police efficiency
is the absence of crime.

community.
● 2. to protect the lives and limbs of every member
of the community.

government office concerned.
● BASIC POLICE FUNCTIONS:
● 1. Crime Prevention – it is directed at the
elimination or reduction of the desire to commit
crime.
● 2. Crime Control – refers to the control or
neutralization of criminal activity
3. Regulations or Control of Non- Criminal
Conduct – done by enforcing rules and
regulations and ordinances all aimed at
achieving a desired uniform standard of activity
among members of society.

methods and machines.
Example: CJS, Police System & Sub-system

Administrative Processes – the integration of numerous

processes. It is the sequence of operations or activities
performed within a bureaucracy toward the achievement
of some objective.

specifying the relations that are to exist between
department and individuals.
● Consists of arranging personnel and functions in

PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIZATION APPLICABLE TO THE
POLICE

1. Division of Work – an apportioning of works or

tasks among the various units or groups
according to some logical plan.
2. Delineation of Responsibility – lines of authority

and direct as possible so that responsibility may
properly fixed and duplication avoided. Thus,
every member knows his/her responsibility and
who is responsible to him.
3. Span of Control – the extent of direction,
coordination and control over immediate
subordinates. The span of control of a supervisor
over personnel or units shall not be more than

7. Integration and Coordination – the efforts of
the different units must be coordinated and
integrated so as to accomplish a harmonious
progress towards the primary objectives of the

greater is the need for integration and
coordination.

commander is directly responsible for any act or
omission of his subordinates in relation to the
performance of their official duties.

Metropolitan Police Act, which was passed by the
Parliament of England, a milestone in England's
police force. For his contributions to the
modernization of the police force, he was regarded
as the Father of Modern Policing System.
Peel's Concept of Policing:
1. the police should be organized along military lines.
2. the police should be screened and trained.
3. Hired on a probationary basis;
4. Deployed by time and area;
5. Accessible to the people; and

Historical Background of the Philippine Police System:

country was divided into political units called
Barangay. Each barangay was headed by a
Headman or Datu,whose duty aside from
exercising all powers – executive, legislative and
judicial was to maintain peace and order within his
jurisdiction. He designates a chief warrior together
with some subordinates were charged to enforce the
decrees, customs and traditions, practices and
usages. The chief warrior is like the chief of police.

the following:
a. the suppression of brigandage by patrolling
unpacified areas;

upon the work and movements of the people;
and

revenues.

department of state, it became police like during

no. 43, on August 8, 1899, was issued, vesting in
the Lieutenant of Police the powers to arrest or
order the arrest of person, violating ordinances or
those accused of the crime. The Lieutenant of
Police is equal to police station
commanders at present. Upon termination of
the Filipino-American war, the Philippine
Commission was established, to further pacify
the provinces. The Commission passed Act no.
175 on July 18, 1901, entitled, “ An Act
Providing for the Organization and
Government of Insular Constabulary and for
Inspection of the Municipal Police”, and thus
the Philippine Constabulary was born; the
local police force continued to exist, under

first chief. The first Filipino chief was Brig.
