The next section is the content of this unit. It contains the Nature of
Police Report Writing, Qualities of a Good Police Report, Steps in Report
Writing Process, Guidelines in Police Report Writing, Purposes of Police
Reports and The Important Uses of Police Report.
Content
The Nature of Police Report Writing
Basically, report is defined as an objective statement of the findings of an investigator;

this is an official record of the information that is relevant to an investigation. Hence, a good
report plays an important role in the success of any investigation (Bajado – Nano & Pioquinto,
2014).
On the other hand, Police Report deals with story of action performed by police
personnel. It is a chronological or step-by-step account of an incident that transpired in a given
time, at a given place. It is also defined as an account of some subjects specifically investigated,
or an official statement of facts. A police report is a result from the fact that someone has asked
for them and needs them for immediate or future use. In any event, police report writing has
become one of the most significant processes in modern police operations.
A police officer, after rendering his/her duty must render a report. His immediate
supervisor must be aware of the things an investigator had done in the field during their tour of
duty, and submitting this report is the only way to do it.
The success of police operation depends upon the quality of the reports and the ability of
the police officer to write them effectively. The PNP relies on written reports to relay information
to superiors, co-workers, the courts and numerous other agencies. Reports are also used to
train personnel and to get people to follow procedures and policies (Petalvo-Ballares, Marilyn, et
al.).
Police Report Writing is considered technical writing. It is the backbone of criminal

investigation and prosecution (Petalvo-Ballares, Marilyn, et al.).
Well-written reports do not happen in a snap of a finger, but rather they are products of a
series of writing activities that are perfected over constant practice. Good report writers are
those who painstakingly take the effort of writing and revising their work to achieve the best
output (Bajado – Nano & Pioquinto, 2014).
3
Qualities of a Good Police Report (Petalvo-Ballares, Marilyn, et al.)
All police reports must contain certain qualities, which can be categorized as:
Accurate. This means that the police report is in exact conformity to fact (errorless). A fact is
something that has been objectively verified. Facts must be reported correctly and without error.
If it’s a criminal incident report, the elements of the crime are a must for accuracy. One
must restrict his/her report to the facts of the incident as one saw it or as victim/s and witness/es
reported them. One must accurately report the conditions of the scene as he/she found them.
Clear. The language and format in one’s police report must be simple and direct to the point.
Clear means plain or evident to the mind of the reader. The writer should use simple words so
the reader will know exactly what the reader needs to know. Avoid using words that have double
meanings, slang, jargon and unnecessary abbreviations.
Complete. A report must answer the “who”, what, when, where, why and how questions (5W’s
and 1H). It must also contain the elements of the offense. Proper note-taking techniques can
assure one to write complete reports.
Concise. This means that the police report says much with a few words as possible.
Conciseness relates to the elimination of unnecessary words and does not mean short.
Writing concise reports includes using active voice, avoiding wordiness, eliminating
unnecessary words, prepositional phrases, and using ordinary and commonly understood
words. Most sentences in police reports consists of 12 to 15 words.
Factual. A report must be factual. A fact is something that has been objectively verified and is
presented objectively. One must report the facts correctly and without error.
Avoid reporting opinions, inferences (drawing conclusions), suppositions (assumptions
of truth), or hearsay as though they were facts.
Objective. One must remember that there are always two sides to every story and both sides
have the right to be told. The investigation must not be influenced by emotion, personal
prejudice or opinion. The investigator must collect and report the facts in an objective and
professional manner.
Prompt. A report must be completed in a timely manner and submitted at the soonest possible
time. One’s credibility may be open to speculation if this quality of police report is not followed.
4
Steps in Report Writing Process (Petalvo-Ballares, Marilyn, et al.
Police Report Writing is a five step process. During the investigation, one must complete each
of the steps, or else, the final report will lack substance.
Interviewing
It is designed as asking somebody a series of questions to gather information. This is
considered as the first step of the process. The investigator’s interview of the victim/s,
witness/es, and suspect/s is the backbone of the preliminary investigation.
Normally, the first officer of the crime scene has the best opportunity to conduct
interviews. If the officer fails to conduct a successful interviews, his/her actions on preliminary
investigation is incomplete.
Note Taking
It means brief notation concerning specific events while fresh in one’s mind and used to
prepare a report. An investigator must take notes to assist his/her memory with specific details,
such as names, date of birth, serial numbers, addresses and phone numbers.
Neat and accurate notes add to one’s credibility and demonstrate one’s high level of
proficiency and professionalism. Since notes are made of all pertinent information during an
investigation, they would be of great help especially when an investigator is subpoenaed or
summoned to appear in court.
Organizing
It means to arrange the components of something in a way that it creates a particular
structure. Since during the note taking, all the information gathered are fragments, the
investigator must organize these information into logical manner. The sequence of events must
be followed in order to portray the incident clearly.
Writing the Narrative

In this stage is the preparation of the report. The task is not only to express your ideas,
but to make an impression upon the mind of the reader as well. In other words, you must write
for the benefit of the reader. Place yourself in the reader’s position, and try to visualize their
interest, their knowledge of the subject and their dependence upon the report.
Writing the narrative should be the easiest part of report writing. Before you begin writing
the narrative, stop and think about what you have done and what you have yet to do.
Proofreading
To proofread, ask yourself the following questions: Is this report the best I can do? Do I
want this to be read by the Chief of Police? (Is there anything else I can do to make it better?)
Most officers are just thankful to have finished the reports and don’t take additional
moment to review their works. Think about whom else is going to read the report.
5
Guidelines in Police Report Writing (Petalvo-Ballares, Marilyn, et al.).
A. Word Usage
Police officers from all over the country tend to use similar words and phrases. But you
should always make sure that you know the correct definition and spelling of the words you will
use in your reports.
Slang is usually a nonstandard vocabulary developed by a group o people. It may be a
street slang, criminal slang, or police slang. It is inappropriate to use slang in your report, unless
you are quoting someone’s statements; and
Jargon is usually a specialized language of a profession. Criminal justice professionals,
just like other professionals, use a great deal of jargons. You should avoid using of jargons in
your report.
B. Tone (First Person and Third Person)

You may write your report in either first person or third person style. Both are
acceptable.
First person writing style is preferred and the most widely used. You are referring to
yourself as an active participant.
The alternative to first person is the Third person writing style. You refer yourself as an
assigned officer, the undersigned or this officer. Usually, department policy specifies which style
to use. Police reports should be written in an easily understandable style. The Philippine
National Police organization caters to the Third-Person writing style.
C. The Contents of a Police Report (5Ws and 1H)
The police officer needs not to be genius to write a good police report. If the officer
obtains responses for the six interrogative questions, his report is complete.
WHO. It refers to the complete and correct name. Wrong name usually results in failure to
locate a witness or apprehend a suspect. The spelling of the name of witness/es, victim/s and
suspect/s should be correct. Name including middle name must be exact.
It also refers to exact home address, be it residence or a hotel, and telephone address.
WHAT. It refers to what type of property was attacked, e.g. building, residence, alley, vacant lot,
etc.
It refers to what type of property was stolen, lost or found. What items related to the
crime were found at the crime scene. An accurate description of all such properties stolen, lost
or found should be entered in the notes.
It refers to what offense was committed, e.g. murder, homicide, rape, physical injuries,
robbery, theft, and violation of special laws.
It refers also to what type of evidence was found or recovered.
6
WHERE. It concerned with the geographical location of the crime scene, property or evidence.
WHEN. It refers to the date and time when the offense was committed; property found, suspect
apprehended, etc.
WHY. It refers to the object or desire which motivated the offense. If it’s crime against person,
the object of the attacked might be revenge, ransom, or sexual pleasure. If it’s crime against
property, the reason may be to acquire money and property.
HOW. It refers to the general manner in which the crime was committed.
Generally, the “who”, “when”, and “where” appear at the beginning of the report. The
reader needs to know the person/s involved, the date and time the incident happened, and the
location at which it took place. “What” happened is usually unfolded throughout the report. The
“how” is closely related to the what. The “why” belongs to before or after the what, depending on
the situations. These six questions cover the essentials of many typical police report.
A police report is written because a crime is committed, and an investigation of it is
made. If the writer has failed to ask important questions during in the investigation and/ or failed
to note the important details in his/her field note or tickler, then the investigator is in for an
incomplete report, which understandably will be unreliable.
Purposes of Police Reports (Foronda, 2009)

1. To serve as the raw materials from which records system are made.
2. To reveal as part of the component of the record system, the direct relationship between the
efficiency of the department and the quality of its reports and reporting procedures.
3. To guide police administrators for policy formulation and decision making.
4. To serve as a gauge/yardstick for efficiency evaluation of police officers.
5. To guide prosecutors and courts in the trial of criminal cases investigated by the police.
Important Uses of Police Report (Foronda, 2009)

1. It serves as records for police administration in planning, directing, and organizing the unit’s
duties.
2. It can be used as legal documents in the prosecution of criminals.
3. It can be utilized by other agencies.
4. It can be useful to tri-media for public information purposes.
5. It can be utilized for research purposes.
6. It can improve the personality of the writer/investigator.

Unit II- Sentence and Paragraph
A learner's knowledge on correct construction of sentence and paragraph is

essential in technical writing; therefore, it is necessary that the basic concepts in
constructing a sentence and paragraph should be mastered. The learner's knowledge and
skills in crafting sentences and paragraphs could be mastered through constant review and
repeated exercise. He can engage himself in various writing practices to improve his skills,
and if certain skills have already been mastered, as a result writing comes easy. One's
knowledge in sentence and paragraph is an important factor in writing. In many cases,
technical writers have brilliant ideas, but putting these ideas into grammatically correct
sentences and paragraph is often the deterring factor. Thus, it is necessary that a writer
should have exemplary grammar skills.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of this unit, you will be able to:
 Identify four kinds of sentence according to structure.

 Construct a paragraph using transitional markers.

Content
The Sentence
A sentence is a group of words expressing a complete thought or idea. A complete sentence is

made up of a subject and a predicate. The diagram below explains further on this concept.
Sentence
A group of words expressing complete thought or idea
Subject Predicate
-the topic of the sentence - talks about the subject
-tells who is spoken of - talks about what the subject is doing
-it is a noun or pronoun - it is a verb
Fig.7. The Sentence (Illustrated by MCBN
Four Kinds of Sentence According to Structure
There are four kinds of sentence according to structure. These are: Simple sentence, compound
sentence, complex sentence, and compound-complex sentence.
A. Simple Sentence
A group of word that can stand alone and gives a complete thought. It has two basic parts: the
subject and the predicate. The subject tells who or what is being spoken of; the predicate tells
something about the subject. A simple sentence has one subject and one predicate.
Examples:
subject predicate
1. The lawyer is attending a hearing.

13
subject predicate
2. The serial killer lurks in the shadows.
B. Compound Sentence
This is a sentence consisting of two, or more independent clauses or simple sentence joined by
a semi-colon, coma, or a coordinating conjunction.
What is a clause?
A clause is a group of words that contain a verb and its subject. A clause that can stand alone is
called an independent clause. A clause that does not express a complete thought and cannot
stand by itself is called a dependent clause.
Examples:
independent clause conjunction independent clause
1. The judge looks around the courtroom, and orders the crowd to keep silent.
independent clause conjunction independent clause
2. The witness gave his lengthy testimony, but the judge did not believe him.
C. Complex Sentence
This is a sentence containing one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.
Examples:
dependent clause dependent clause
Though still shaken by the incident and the attempted burglary,
independent clause
Marina decided to report it to the police station.
independent clause dependent clause
Marina went to the police station, filed an affidavit of complaint,
dependent clause
and felt relieve

14
D. Compound-Complex Sentence
Contains two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.
Examples:
independent clause independent clause dependent clause
When the burglars left the house, they were in a hurry and left traces of evidence.
independent clause independent clause
turned on the lights as soon as I arrive, what confronted me were broken furniture
dependent clause
and messy living room.
Four Kinds of Sentence According to Function
English can also be classified according to functions, namely:

Declarative, Interrogative, Imperative, and Exclamatory. Refer to the discussion below:
1. Declarative Sentence-A sentence that states an idea and ends with a period.
Examples:
Anthony is a second year Criminology student.
Criminology is the scientific study of crime and criminals. She passed the Criminology
Licensure Examination last month.
2. Interrogative Sentence- A sentence that asks a question and ends with a question mark.
Examples:
Who is the principal suspect of the burglary?
What was the possible motive of the crime? When was the suspect apprehended?
3. Imperative Sentence- A sentence that gives an order or direction and ends with a period or
exclamation mark.
Examples:
Please call the police station right away.
Watch out for stray bullets!
4. Exclamatory Sentence- A sentence that conveys emotions exclamation mark.

Examples:
Stop! You are under arrest.
Help, call the ambulance please!
Hey! Look at those floating dead bodies! Oh, what a brutal killing!

Skills Practice
Directions: Identify what type of sentences are the statements below, and correct it by inserting
the appropriate punctuation marks.

Rune-on Sentences, Parallel Structures, Dangling Modifiers

Rune-on Sentence
Run-on sentences are two complete sentences, but they are incorrectly punctuated. These
sentences are misleading to the readers, because there is no clear direction as to where the
first idea ends, and the next idea begins.
Run-on sentences are of two types: the fused sentence and the comma splice. Fused
sentences are two sentences fused together without any punctuations or connectors. A comma
splice on the Other hand, are two sentences joined together by a comma.
Examples
John went to the police station he filed an affidavit of complaint.
(fused Sentence)
John went to the police station, he filed an affidavit of complaint.
(comma splice)
Methods on Correcting Run-on Sentences:

1. Put a period after the first sentence to create two complete sentences.
Example: John went to the police station. He filed an affidavit of complaint.
2. Combine the two sentences by using a comma and a conjunction.
Example: John went to the police station, and he filed an affidavit of complaint.
3. Break the two sentences by using a semi-colon or by using any subordinating
conjunction or conjunctive adverbs.
Example: John went to the police station because he filed an affidavit of complaint.
(Using subordinating conjunction)
Example: John went to the police station and he filed an affidavit of complaint.
(Using a semi-colon)
16
Skills Practice
Correct the run-on sentences below using all of the three methods of correcting run-ons in each
sentence. Rewrite the sentence.
 Computers are important in making investigative reports, they are essential in solving
crimes.
 The responding cops asked if I was hit in the stomach, they tore my shirt right away.
 Many investigators believe that the polygraph is not reliable, they still use it for security
purposes.
 Illegal drugs are dangerous this is an indisputable reality.
 I gave the necessary documents to the investigators he said I still need to make a formal
statement in the police station.
Parallel Structures
These are structures or sentence elements having uniform grammatical function. These
structures are presented in the same grammatical form. For sentences to be parallel, the words
should parallel with words, verbs with verbs, nouns with nouns, phrases with phrases, and
clauses with clauses.
Series Patterns of Parallel Structures:

For a sentence to be parallel, all elements in a series should be in similar form. Take note of the
series of patterns below:
Series of Adjectives
Unparallel: On the day of the hearing, Martha was nervous, edgy, and could not wait to
nail down the suspect of her son's murder.
Parallel: On the day of the hearing, Martha was nervous, edgy, and eager to nail down
the suspect of her son's murder.
Series of Pronouns
Unparallel: When someone commits a crime, we must be ready to face the
consequences of his actions.
Parallel: When someone commits a crime, he must be ready to the consequences of his
actions.
Series of Infinitives
Unparallel: To serve and protecting the people is the living motto of every police
Parallel: To serve and to protect the people is the living motto of every police officer.
17
Series of Gerunds
Unparallel: Stealing, copying, and to get information from a copyrighted material without
permission is a crime.
Parallel: Stealing, copying, and getting information from a copyrighted material without
permission is a crime.
Series of Verbs
Unparallel: The security guard checks the locks of the main gate, and has to turn on the
burglar alarm system.
Parallel: The security guard checks the locks of the main gate, and turns on the burglar
alarm system.
Dangling Modifiers
A sentence is said to have dangling modifiers when the modifier is misplaced or attached with
the wrong word. When a sentence has a dangling modifier it will take on an unintended meaning
and will cause confusion, because it does not describe the words that the writer intends to
describe.
Examples:
While standing in his post, a bullet hits the security guard in the head.
(The unintended meaning of the sentence above is that the bullet is standing in his post.
The words security guard should be placed right after the modifier, or within the opening word
group to avoid confusion.)
Corrected Sentences:
1. While standing in his post, the security guard is hit in the head by a bullet.
(Modifier’ placed right after the words security guard)
2. While the security guard is standing in his post, a bullet hit him in the head.
(The word security guard is placed within the opening word group)
Methods of Correcting Dangling Modifiers:

1. Specify and state the subject or doer/doer of the action.
Wrong: I could see the crime scene standing from the window.
Correct: Standing from the window, I could see the crime scene.
I could see the crime scene when I am standing from the window.
2. Correct the dangling phrase; make it a complete clause, and state the subject/doer of the
action.
Wrong: Without sufficient evidence, it was hard to arrest the suspect.
Correct: Because the police officers have no sufficient evidence, it was hard to arrest the
suspect.
18
3. Fuse together the phrase and the clause, and create a single sentence.
Wrong: In order to give her verdict, the murder case was reviewed.
Correct: She gave her verdict after reviewing the murder case.
Skills Practice
Directions: Correct the sentences below and make it free from dangling modifiers.
1. Returned to the crime scene in a disguise as one of the kibitzers.

The Paragraph
A paragraph is a brief composition having only one main thought or idea. It is a group of
related sentences developing into one topic, or with a specific part of a longer composition or a
larger topic.
A paragraph is composed of a topic sentence and supporting details. A topic sentence
contains the main idea or thought of the composition. On the other hand, the supporting details
substantiate or help develop the main idea expressed in the topic sentence.
Read the paragraph below and identify the topic sentence and the supporting details that help
developed the main idea.
The value of human life in our society is immeasurable. Police officers are charged with
the awesome responsibility to protect life and property, and to apprehend criminal offenders.
The apprehension of criminal offenders and the protection of property must be subservient to
the protection of life. The police officer's responsibility for protecting life must include his own.
---by Bill Clede from Police Handgun Manual, p.12

Paragraph Unity
A paragraph is considered to be unified when all of its supporting details relate to the main topic.
Below is a sample paragraph, examine it whether each supporting details support the main
topic.
Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG)
The Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) is the smallest and most radical of the Islamic separatist groups
operating in the southern Philippines. Some ASG members have studied or worked in the
Middle East and developed ties to mujahedeen while fighting and training in Afghanistan. The
group split from the Moro National Liberation Front in 1991 under the leadership of Abdurajik
Abubakar Janjalani, who was killed in a clash with Philippine police on 18 December 1998.
Press report placed his younger brother, Khadafi Janjalani (reported killed in 2002), as the
nominal leader of the group, which is composed of several factions. The ASG is engaged in
bombings, assassinations, to promote an independent Islamic state in the western Mindanao
and Sulu Archipelago. In April 1995 it raided the Ipil town first large-scale action, together with
the kidnapping of more than 30 foreigners, including US citizens, killing two of them in separate
incidents in 2000 and 2002.

to help readers comprehend the relationship of thoughts, and how these thoughts are
connected smoothly in the paragraph.
Below is an example of a paragraph that uses transitional markers. Note whether the
transitional markers help connect the writer's thoughts.
Kidnapping and Hostage Taking
The difference between kidnapping and hostage taking is extremely fine in the world of
terrorism. Indeed the two terms are often used interchangeably. However, the kidnapper would
normally be regarded as someone who confines his victim in a secret hideaway and makes
material demands i.e. money, weapons, release of prisoners; whereas the hostage taker will
confront authorities and openly hold his victim for ransom.
The hostage taker's demands are often more than material in nature. Political
concessions are frequently demanded in exchange for the lives of hostages. The importance of
hostage taking as comparatively new and popular is plain. First, because of its currency,
hostage taking attracts the media. Second, the fact that the lives of hostages are involved
increases the dramatic effect, thus allowing the terrorist to apply pressure on the authorities to
20
force concessions, which may not otherwise be made. Finally, the hostage is a tangible asset to
the terrorist who finds that he has something with which to bargain.

the ordinary document), a certification on its contents of a blotter entry, it should be copied
verbatimly, meaning, it should be copied word for word and not correction in the grammar or in

FOR THE CITY DIRECTOR:
DANILO S. MAGBANUA
Police Superintendent
Chief, Admin Section
3. Memorandum
Common practices of inter office communication in the police service is the

memorandum. Interpreted the simplest way, a memorandum is “a note to help the memory.”
A memorandum is maybe general in application, requiring compliance by, or information
of a majority of all the officers and members of the police organization. It may be also of a
limited application, such as those directed to, or group of individuals, within a particular police
unit, directorate, service, region, province, station or section.
Police executives may issue administrative instructions in the form of a

MEMORANDUM. Subordinate officials may use this form, only on matters advisory or
informative in nature. Routine MEMORANDUM is presently resorting to a “bottom line”
technique to enable the police executives to know right away what had been done about the
problem at hand.
A. Tones of memorandum
There is no strict rule governing the tone of memorandum.However.it is usually noted

that the tone differs in accordance with the person/persons reading it.
From a chief of office to his subordinates, the tone is impersonal, i.e., “For guidance and
strict compliance.” From a writer sending a memorandum to somebody of equal rank, the tone is
casually personal, i.e., “The undersigned noticed changes in. . .” A subordinate police officer
writing a memorandum to a higher police officer uses a more formal tone, i.e., “For info and
request acknowledge.”
In other line agencies of the government similar with police offices, using FOR and TO
has been done. The “MEMORANDUM FOR:” is written above the addressee if sent to a
superior officer or to same rank and position. Police organization adopts memoranda in the ff
general usage: to inform; to answer; to record a significant event; special reports; basic
transmittals, and for some other purposes.
B. Parts of a Memorandum
1. The Heading
All the materials above the first line of the body comprise the heading.
A. Letterhead:
Printed Letterhead stationery is normally used for the first page. If not available, a typed
letterhead may be used. Each office has its own letterhead. In offices where more than one kind
of letterhead is used, the nature of the letter will determine which letterhead is proper. The top
edge of the letterhead is normally placed ¾ inch or on the fifth line below the top edge of the
paper.
34
Example:
Department of the Interior and Local Government
Philippine Public Safety College
NATIONAL FORENSIC SCIENCE TRAINING INSTITUTE
Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City
Tel No. 8812722n(loc 112)
B. File Reference or Office Symbol:
It is placed at the left margin, usually two (2) spaces below the letterhead. Each part of
the references are also used as identifying information on the second and subsequent pages.
Example: NFSTI-Admin
C. Addressee:
The title of the addressee is entered after the “MEMORANDUM FOR” if sent to a
superior office, “MEMORANDUM TO” if sent to subordinates. It should be written in block style
with open punctuation and normally placed two (2) spaces after the file reference.
Examples:
MEMORANDUM
FOR: The Director, HSS
MEMORANDUM
TO: The Director, CIDG
D. Addressor:
The title of the addressor (sender) is entered after “FROM”. Authorized abbreviations are
used.
Example: FROM: The Director, HSS
E. Channels:
Correspondence can be routed THRU channels, through a lower Chief or Supervisor

expected to exercise control, taken action or to be concerned and normally placed two (2)
spaces after the addressee.
Examples: THRU: DCA ______________
DCO _________________
TCDS ______________
35
F. Attention Address:
To speed routing, correspondence may be addressed to the attention of an individual or

head of a subdivision of an agency, or an office, either by reference to the name of the
subdivision or by the use of an office symbol. The name will be used only when there is a
special reason for calling the letter to the attention of the individual known to handle the type of
correspondence concerned and when it is known that he/she will at the place addressed.
Examples: Addressed to the Attention of an Individual:
MEMORANDUM:
TO : Regional Director, PRO CALABARZON

Camp Vicente Lim, Canlubang, Laguna
Attn: PSINSP JUAN B DELA CRUZ
Addressed to the Attention of the Head of Office
MEMORANDUM:
TO : Regional director, PRO CALABARZON

Camp Vicente Lim, Canlubang, Laguna
Attn: ADPCR
G. Subject:
The subject line should contain not exceeding ten (10) words. It starts two (2) spaces
below the addressor. Titles capitalization rules may be used. This means capital letter for the
first letter and other important words, and small letters for the unimportant ones. When the
subject extends to two lines, the second line is blocked under the first letter of the first word i the
subject.
Example: SUBJECT: Request for Optional Retirement of
PSINSP JUAM B DELA CRUZ
H. Date:
This refers to the date of signature and it is placed at the left portion of the page on the
last line below the subject. The day and year are numerals and the month may be spelled out or
abbreviated. If the month is abbreviated, the year must be shortened to.
Example: DATE: March 15, 2008

36
2. The Body
The body of the letter is the message itself. It is the substance of the typed letter as
distinct from the formal beginning and ending. This part of the letter is single-spaced. The use of
the third person, such as “the undersigned”, “this unit” or “this office” is prescribed to achieve
objectivity.
a. paragraphing
When a letter consists of only one paragraph, the paragraph will not be numbered,
although its sub-paragraph will be lettered, If there are two or more. When there are two (2) or
more paragraph, they will be numbered consecutively. He second succeeding lines will begin at
the left margin.
Example:
1.Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
a. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
b. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
b. Abbreviations:
This kind of communication allows abbreviations which are generally accepted in the
police service. They are usually written without spacing or periods, except geographical
locations which can be written with or without periods. If the full name is used, the abbreviated
rank is permissible, if family name only, the rank is spelled out.
However, good practice tells the writer to use abbreviations sparingly. But definitely,
abbreviations are not used in correspondence going outside the Philippine National Police.
Examples: PDIR - stands for Police Director
PCSUPT - stands for Police Chief Superintendent
PSINP - stands for Police Senior Inspector
Memo - stands for Memorandum
c. References
References to publications must be specific and fully identified. References will not be
made to a publication or document which is not available to the addresses of the
correspondence. References to correspondence will include the type of correspondence, file
reference, office origin, date and subject.
Example:
1. Reference: Memo from the Director, NFSTI dated August2,2007, subject as stated above.
37
d. Page Numbering
The first page should not be numbered (silent Pagination). Subsequent pages, including
those on which endorsements are prepared, will be numbered consecutively, beginning with the
second page as 2. Page number will be centered 1 inch from the bottom of the page. The
number will stand by itself; it will not be set off by dashes, parenthesis or other punctuations.
Example:
e. Dividing a Paragraph
Three (3) or fewer lines will not be divided between pages. At least two (2) lines of a
divided paragraph will appear on each page. In dividing a sentence between pages, at least two
(2) words will appear on each page.
The complimentary ending will not appear alone on a page without a part of a body or
text.When the space below the text is not sufficient for the close, at least two (2) lines of the
paragraph or sub-paragraph which in its entirely consist of only one (1) line may be placed on
the last page together with the complimentary ending.
On the second and each succeeding pages, the file reference and subject will be typed,
beginning at the left margin 1 ¼ inches from the top edge of the page. The date will be placed
so that it ends at the right margin. The text will be continued on the second line below the
identification line.
Example:
NFSTI-Admin. Request for Optional Retirement of PSINSP JUAN B DELA CRUZ
dated August 2, 2007
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Higher Headquarters pertaining to the commission of the crime, occurrence of natural or man-
made disaster or unusual incidents involving loss of lives and damage of properties.

relative to a particular occurrence.
A spot report may use a radiographic message form, especially if the reporting unit is far
from the addressee or receiving higher police office concerned. Information contained therein
must be complete, answering the 5Ws and 1H.

7. INITIAL INVESTIGATION REPORT
Initial investigation is the first action to be undertaken when there is a reported or

discovered incident. The conduct of initial investigation is one of the standard operating
procedures in all police stations. This is where the spot report will be relied on. In the first phase
of investigation, the investigator tries to seek the answer of the six cardinal questions (5Ws and
1H), but it does not necessarily mean that an unanswered cardinal question will not be included
in the report. If the assailant is still unknown, cardinal question “Who is the perpetrator” could be
answered with “unidentified person”. If the value of the stolen property had not been determined
yet, the question pertaining to this could be answered with “undetermined amount of properties”.

certain criteria, some of which are:
 It must be grammatically correct:

 Abbreviation must be used appropriately and correctly; and
 The report should avoid slang, colloquialism or unnecessary technical terms.
Requisites of Good Investigation Report:
Accuracy. The report should be a true representation of the facts to the best of the
investigator’s ability. Information both favorable and unfavorable to the suspect should be
included. Information should be verified by statements of other witness and by reference to
official records or to other reliable sources;
Completeness. The question WHEN, WHERE, WHAT, WHY, WHO and HOW should be
answered. The elements of crime should be established and the additional facts developed
should tend to prove these element. The report should be documented by appending important
statements, letters, findings of other agencies and laboratory reports:
Brevity. Irrelevant or unnecessary materials should be omitted:
Fairness. The investigator should take the facts as he/she finds them, and if ever he/she has
theories, it must be consistent with these facts;
Form and Style. The arrangement of the materials presented should be in a manner which will
make the report easy to read. Form includes proper paragraphing, underscoring, capitalization
50
and heading. The report should be in the third person, the investigator referring to himself as the
“investigator”.

Points to be considered:
 Conciseness
 Clarity
 Organization
 Thoroughness
 Accuracy;
 Adequacy and
 Pertinence of leads

 Grammar and syntax errors

 Misspelling;
 Typographical errors;

 Failure to include essential facts which shows jurisdiction, prosecutive action taken and
basis for investigative steps taken; and
 Failure to include essential facts which were undoubtedly available and known to the
investigator.
Supervision of Reports
Assure good reports:
The chief must sincerely want good reports. He/she should insist on training and insist that
his/her men write good reports;
Standard of good reporting must be set so that all will know what is expected of them. Training
must be given
System of spot –checking must be set up to make sure that corrections are being made and to
assure uniformity. Don’t sign the report unless it is completely correct. If you do not check
reports, you lose control over them.
Protect Reputation of the Department and its Officers:
 Good reports reflect favorably on the officers preparing it and on the department they
represent.
 Good report help refute false charges against officers and the department they
represent.
Methods of Supervision:
 Tickler System. The supervisory official keeps a “3X5” index cards on each case
showing the basic data, dates, etc. and to whom it was assigned. The card filled behind
the officer’s name in the card index box. This is also assures a regular check on each
pending case;
 Assignment Record: This should show the cases assigned to each officer and should
include a record of reports submitted: and
 All reports should be read and signed by the supervisory officials. It is best to have a rule
that no report can be filled until approved by the supervisor. The supervisor should be
held jointly responsible with the reporting officer for important errors in reporting. This
would serve as a guide for the supervision and prevent overlooking relevant errors.
Additionally, good supervision assures a good investigation and good report. Even if the
subordinate officer complains about it, he/she will be a good investigator and a good
report writer.
Approved SOP in the Investigation of Cases:

communications, recording therein the nature of the case, name of the complainant, name of
the investigator and the date it was assigned the Duty PNCO/Desk Officer should reflect on the
Complaint Logbook the name of the Investigator to whom the particular case was assigned;
If the nature of the case so warrants, Officer-On-Case should immediately respond to the crime,
conduct an ocular investigation/inspection and interview the complainant, witness and all
persons who could shed light on the case;
Based on the initial investigation, the officer-On-Case should prepare any of the following police
reports:
 Alarm Report – for the theft and robbery cases;

 Advance Information Report – for the crimes against persons, like murder, parricide,
homicide, etc;
 Crime Report – for all other cases like estafa, crime against chastity, white slavery, etc;
 Information Report – for some cases initially taken cognizance by a police station but
later turned over to or found out to be handled by special operating units.
The investigator should then take the sworn statements of the complainant/s, witness/es and if
possible, suspect/s. At this stage, the investigator should exert all efforts to unearth and gather
all evidence relevant to the case;
Invitation for suspect/s to appear before any investigating unit/ group should be signed by the
chief of the Unit/Group and duly accorded in a logbook intended for this purpose. The result of
the invitation should be reflected in the case folder to from part of the records of the case;

NCPO- Inves
MEMORANDUM
FOR : The Chief, Investigator Section
FROM : The Office-On-Case
SUBJECT : Final Investigation Report. Re- Malicious Mischief

___________________________________________________________________________
I.AUTHORITY:
1. This section should contain a brief statement of when, where and by whom the
investigation was on the basis of oral order, this fact should be stated, naming the individual
issuing the order and the date thereof. It was made pursuant to the document, stating the date
and the original directing authority, whether local or chief higher PNP Office, is necessary.
II.MATTERS INVESTIGATED:
2. This section of the report represents the mission of the investigator/investigating officer. In
other words, “What is the investigation about?” Most of these reports are written complaints,
alleging that some persons have committed some crimes or unjust treatments. If the allegations
are too long to cite, a synopsis is in order. Approximate references may be made to the copy of
the papers in the appendix upon which the investigation was based.
III.FACTS OF THE CASE:
3.This section presents the real truth respecting the matters investigated. Clear and complete
descriptions should be applied here. Presentations of facts should be coherent, unbiased, and
fully supported by evidence. The facts regarding the several matters at issue should be
presented in the same space manner as that which the allegations are presented in the
preceding section. If there are several allegations to be handled, the presentation should be
such that the reader will know at all times which allegation is being considered. The facts of
each allegation should be put together to tell the story, especially if the investigating officer is
54
reporting orally. Brevity is not permissible, if it involves the omission of the single fact necessary
to the only evidence procurable concerning an element of the case. If there is a conflicting
statement of the two witnesses whom seems to be entitled to equal credence, the investigating
office may quote from both testimonies. But this procedure should be exceptional and not be
used in lieu of making a determination of the facts based on a study, analysis and weighting of
the evidence.
IV. DISCUSSION:
This section should indicate the presumptions and interference from all the circumstances in the
case to give the directing authority the clearest possible picture. It should contain such related
factual matter of arguments as may be necessary, in addition to facts presented to establish the
conclusions and recommendations based thereon. On simple case requiring circumstances, this
section may be avoided and indicated or worded “This case possess no aspects or conditions
requiring especial discussion; and there is no mitigating or extenuating circumstances. “
Frequently, however, the evidence is so evenly divided, pro and con, or the attending
circumstances are so unusual that some explanatory justifying conclusions reached are
necessary. In the event acts of irregularity or misconduct are established in the case of a person
whose past record has otherwise been such excellence, justice requires that it should be
included in the discussion. When the only obtainable evidence is that contained in the testimony
of the informant and of the person accused, the facts cannot positively be established. However,
the records and character of the accuser may be used to assist in determining the appropriate
action. In such cases, the investigating officer’s observation and opinion may appropriately be

FROM : The Team Leader
SUBJECT : After Encounter Report
DATE : March 15, 2020
I.AUTHORITY: OPLAN No. 30-15 (Palakot) Hqs Naga City Police Office dated February 24,
2020.
II. PERIOD COVERED: March 13 to 14, 2020
III.AREA COVERED: Sitio Caromatig. Brgy Carolina Naga City.
IV. PARTICIPATING TROOPS: PSINSP AMROSIO D. PONTILLO and twenty-one (21) others.
V. NARRATIVE:
1. On March 13, 2020 at about 9:00 AM, this station received a reliable information from
an assets that an undetermined number of CPP/NPA/NDF (CNN) led by Ansenio Dimayao,
alias “Ka Sel” were planning to collect food stuffs and conduct teach-ins to barangay folks in
Sitio Caromating, Brgy. Carolina , Naga City.
1.Acting on the Information, the undersigned immediately organized two police teams
with the mission to seek, engage and neutralized the reported CNNs. An 11-man PNP team
from City Mobile Group lead by PSINSP AMBROSIO D. PONTILLO and an equal number of
PNP elements from Patrol Section under this reporting officer simultaneously jumped off on
March 14, 2020 at about 6:00 AM passing through Brgy. San Isidro and subsequently
62
maneuvered to ambush position at the probable enemy route in the morning of March 14, 2020.
Hours of long wait, however, proved futile as the expected enemy failed to show up.
2. Realizing the futility of waiting any further, the team tactically moved towards Brgy.
Carolina at about 2:00 PM, passing through the thick forest area along Sitio Caromating of
Same Barangay. While the government troops were manuevering in the vicinity of Sitio
Caromating, they were met by a heavy burst of gunfire from different directions prompting them
to seek cover and return fire toward the direction of the enemy.
3. Heavy firefight ensued. Using available fore powder, the government troops valiantly
engaged the CNN in a heated gun battle. In a determined effort to seize the initiative and gain
tactical advantage, the team of PINSP PONTOLLO, in utter disregard of their safety,
courageously maneuvered towards the hilly portion of a terrain while the team of the
undersigned provided cover fire. The tactics paid-off as they were able to inflict heavy
causalities on the enemies who were overwhelmed by the aggressiveness and ferocity of the
government troops.
4. Sensing possible annihilation, the enemy frantically withdraw towards the forest area
but an alert team led by SPO4 Armando D. Dimas, cut them with automatic gunfire and
thunderous explosion from their M-203 grenade launches. Others, however, managed to
escape bringing along with their wounded comrades as evidenced by the bloodstain on the
route of withdrawal.
5. When the smoke of gun battle subsided, about thirty minutes later, fourteen (14)
CNNs lay dead. Anselmo Dimayao, alias “Ka Sel” who was seriously wounded in the initial
exchange of gunfire, was captured. There was no casualties on the government side.
6. After securing the area and vicinity from possible enemy counterattack. The troops
started recovering the items left behind by the enemy, to include firearms and ammunition. Four
(4) dead CNNS were later identified as Ulopiano de Castro alias “Ka Ulo”, Rodolfo Demetrio
alias “Ka Dolfo”, Igmedio Remedios alias “Ka Igme” and Rodrigo Saysay “alyas Ka Rod”. While
the rest remained unidentified.
7. After clearing the area, the team of undersigned conducted pursuit operations on the
CNNs who were able to escape. Following the traits and bloodstains, pursuing elements caught
up with the enemy about two kilometers north of encounter scene on March 14, 2020, at 3:30
PM. The troops engaged about ten (10) CNNs for about 15 minutes, after which the enemy
withdrew. As a result, two more CNNs were killed. Recovered from their possession were two
(2) high powdered firearms (1 M16 and 1 AK-47) and subversive documents. Again, there was
no casualty on the government side.
VI. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
1. Enemy Side:

1.Killed – Fourteen (14)
2. Wounded – Undetermined
63
3. Captured – Anselmo Dimayao, alias “Ka Sel)

2. Government Side
a. Personnel Losses

2. WIA- None
3.captured –None
b. Materials Losses-None
VII. LESSON LEARNED
1. Good and timely intelligence, bold and aggressive deployment manpower, achievement
of surprise and exploitation of enemy weakness are vital to the success of any internal
security operation.
2. The 30-minutes fire-fight showed that the CNNs have already developed the capability to
engage the government troops in a sustained gun battle. However, security forces with
sufficient strength /firepower, determination and strong will to fight and stability under
pressure have a higher survivability during an encounter even with a superior enemy
force.
3. In any armed encounter, tactical edge is the key to increasing one’s survival advantage.
Flexible and initiative of the maneuver team to counter attack immediately contributed to
the success of the internal security operations.
64
4. Speedy reinforcement of troops from headquarters and other police unit is severely
hampered by the lack of modern transportation and communication equipment.
VII. RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Awarding of Medalya ng Kagitingan (PNP Medal of Merit) to the participating PNP

troops for their courage and combat skills against a superior numbers of CNNs.
2. Immediate replenishment of ammunition expended.

3. Issuance of vehicle and communication equipment to further enhance the unit’s
operational efficiency and effectiveness

I - SITUATION
Naga City is located in the floodplains of Camarines Sur and its urban area was said to
be part of San Miguel Bay Itself thousand years ago. The city topographic clearly shows that its
urban core is in the lowest lying end of cities land area. All of the build-up area in the city is
within the 0 to less than 5-meters elevation, making the present urbanized area prone to
flooding. Based on the flood hazard map, the flood area of the Naga City covers about 800
hectares spread over the 17 out of 27 barangays of the City. The area affected may appear
small relative to the total land area of the City (10% of the total), but this area is inhabited by
85% of the city’s aggregate population and the site of most of the main economic activities,
thereby the impact of flooding hazards becomes highly significant. For all the flood-return
periods analysed, the extent of flooding is widespread and disastrous. Most of the flood areas
are located in the vicinity of the Bicol and Naga rivers on the western side of Naga City.
The depth of flooding varies from less than a meter to more than two or more meters
which had recorded in the barangay of Triangulo, Sabang and Mabolo. The ten (10) remaining
barangays are prone to wind hazard. They are categorized as high hazard areas in view of their
location and relatively open as well as dispersed settlements. Overall, about 24% of house or
7,270 out of 29,208 houses are at high risk due to wind hazard at various return periods.

13. SWORN STATEMENT AND AFFIDAVIT
The sworn statement refers to a written statement voluntary executed under oath by any
person, a suspect or a witness, which may be taken in a “question and answer format” or in a
“narrative format (affidavit)”.
The sworn Statement and affidavit shall state only facts or direct personal knowledge of
the affiants which are admissible in evidence and shall show their competence to testify the
matters stated therein. Everyone can give statements but not anyone can lay claim to know the
technique and rudiments of statement-taking. In investigation, statement-taking is a necessary
and inherent for the documentation of the narrated facts.
Types of Written Statement
Question and Answer type. It is preferable to narrative. It is easier to developed or prove the
essential elements of an offense through questions and answers. However, leading and
misleading questions should be avoided in the Question and Answer Type.
Leading Question- suggests to the witness, affiant, informant, respondent or complaint the
answer which the investigator desires.
Misleading Questions – is one which assumes a true fact not yet testified to by the witness or
suspect or contrary to that which he/she has previously stated whereby may be induced to give
an answer which appears to say more than he/she means.
Narrative Type (Affidavit). It is hard for the judge to believe that in a narrative type of
confession/statement, the subject voluntary dictated all that is in the confession/statement.
Affidavit is a form of sworn statement made in a narrative style. It is usually started with a
“SCILICET” which is usually abbreviated as “S.S.”
Example:

A complete staff work is a format communication which contains a brief and exact
analysis of a situation, resulting from a thorough research made by its author because there is a
specific problem or a specific problem area. This study provides the chief an official report on
such analysis which helps him in making a decision on complex or controversial questions.
However, that report does not only analyse a situation through presentation of facts,
logical discussion of the subject matter and the corresponding conclusion thereon. It also
recommends to the head of an office or agency what course of action he should take.
A fixed format prepared, with the following titles: Problem, Assumptions, Facts Bearing
the Problem, Discussion, conclusion and Recommendations. Aside from these, a complete staff
work bears the concurrence of the staff officer concerned by means of affixing his initial,
followed by his/her name, title and position on the space provided.

August 12, 2018
NCPO/C
TITLE : Solution to Traffic Problems in Central Business District of Naga City -

Recommendations
I.PROBLEM:
The Current Traffic Problems in Central Business District of Naga City
II.ASSUMPTIONS:
1. Traffic law in CBD will be smoother upon completion of the recommended course of
action;
2. Observance to traffic laws and regulations by undisciplined drivers and pedestrians;
3. Organized sidewalk vendors which will be confined to only one place.
III.FACTS BERAING THE PROBLEM:
The city of Naga was designed with narrow streets may be due to lack of foresight for
development by former local elected officials. History relates that it was only the “calesa” as the
80
major means of transportation then in the city. Only prominent families can afford to buy four-
wheeled vehicles.
Now come this time was that even a mere employee can afford to have his own vehicle
brought about by the presence of several small assembly shops in the province using second
hand motor assemblies. Motor vehicles running on the streets continue to grow from hundreds
to thousands but the streets they are using remain as is since they were constructed in 1950.
One can experience traffic congestions in Naga City, particularly in CBD1 during rush
hours (7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 to 7:00 PM). Several proposals and traffic
experimentations had already been done by the police and the Naga City Public Safety Office
looking for possible solutions, but it seems that the solutions to a single problem may even bring
more traffic problems in some parts of the city.
IV. DISCUSSION:
In any survey conducted, the following major thoroughfares in CBDI frequently suffer
traffic congestions:
1. Junctions of Panagniban Drive and Penafrancia Avenue, from 7:00 AM to 10:00AM and
from 4:00 to 7:00 PM during working days;
2. Junction of Calle Caceres and General Luna Streets, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and
from 4:00 P.M to 7:00 P.M,everyday;
3. Junction of Elias Angeles- Arana Streets, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and from 4:00 PM
to 7:00 PM during school days;
4. Junctions of Elias Angeles – Calle Caceres Streets, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and from
10:00 AM and from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, everyday;
5. Junction of Hernandez Avenue – Abella Street, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and from 4:00
PM to 7:00 PM, everyday;
6. Junction of Hernandez Avenue – Zamora, from 7:00 AM and from 4:00PM to 7:00 PM,
everyday;
Upon personnel observations, these busy streets of Naga have long lines of
sidewalk vendors. In Hernandez Avenue alone, sidewalk vendors with illegal structures
aligned themselves from corner Abella to Zamora Street. In General Luna, portions of
public market along General Luna Street which are intended for pedestrian are occupied
by vendors, same with others streets such as Calle Cacere, Zamora underpass and
parts of Elias Angeles Street.
In this situation, market goer and other pedestrian are force to walk on the
pavement of the streets, instead of using the sidewalk intended for them. This is the
81
reason why vehicles passing through tend to stop for quite sometimes to give way to the
pedestrians and marketers walking along Hernandez Avenue.
Another thing that hinders the continuous flow of vehicles along General Luna is
the misplaced pedestrian lanes having shorter distance from each other, causing
vehicles to move slowly to give way to the passing pedestrian.
One thing also is the illegal parking of the vehicles particularly in Hernandez
Avenue. Some of these illegally parked vehicles are owned by owners of the
establishments thinking that the portion sidewalk in front of their establishment are also
their own.
Another is the usual behaviour of undisciplined drivers and pedestrian that
frequently violates traffic rules, aggravated by lack of necessary traffic signs and traffic
personnel.
V. CONCLUSION
Based on the preceding discussion, it revealed that the following facts are caused of
traffic problems in CBD1 of Naga City:
a. The presence of sidewalk vendors along the busy thoroughfares

b. Illegal parking of vehicles;
c. The usual behaviour of undisciplined drivers and pedestrian;
d. Lack of traffic signs and traffic personnel and laxity in traffic enforcement
e. Misplaced pedestrian lanes along General Luna Street
VI. RECOMMENDATIONS:
Therefore, it is hereby recommended the following;

a. Relocation of sidewalk vendors to other area which would not affect the flow of traffic in
CBDI. The proposed place is along PNR Road after the Tabuco Bridge where minimal
number of vehicle passes by.
b. Relocation of pedestrian lane to strategic portion of General Luna Street. Two pedestrian
lanes are sufficient from corner General Luna- Calle Caceres Street to General Luna-
Kinastillohan Streets. One is in front of the Public market ant the other is in front of
Robertson Department Store.
c. Designated strategic parking area along Hernadez Avenue and General Lua which
would not hinder the flow of traffic.
d. Establishing more of the traffic signs and assigning more traffic personnel to strategic
areas.
82
3.Respectfully recommend appropriate action.

15. ENDORSEMENT
An endorsement is a reply or a forwarding statement usually added to a letter. Among

men and women, in uniform a basic communication may not just be a letter; it can be a
message; it can be a memorandum from higher office. It is a communication within a
communication. It becomes an integral part of the correspondence and is not withdrawn from
the basic communication to which it is appended.
Regarding the content, it is meant to furnish information, comment or recommendation

on the matter at hand. The use of the third person in endorsement may refer to himself as “the
writer”, “the undersigned” or “this office” or by his official title. After all, this is not a personal
matter; it is an official one wherein the sender acts on a particular problem in behalf of the
agency he/she belongs to. No complimentary close is used in endorsement, the signature and
title being given directly after the close of the endorsement.
In endorsement writing, unlike in ordinary letter writing, each paragraph may be started
single- spaced. Since this is not compulsory, double-spacing may be used. It will be numbered
consecutively, starting with “1st” or “2nd”. Starting with the word “Respectfully” (whether
Forwarded, Returned, Referred, Transmitted) the text, which is usually composed of one
paragraph, should really be brief, accurate and clear.
In the different line of government agencies, there is a Standard Operating Procedure

(SOP) in paragraphing an endorsement text. The PNP caters to this procedure. A
communication being sent by endorsement to a superior office is always “RESPECTFULLY
FORWARDED” or “RESPECTFULLY equal rank, it is originated or where it has been recorded
is “RESPECTFULLY RETURNED” regardless of the rank of the two offices concerned.
An endorsement should be given useful and necessary information comment or

recommendation on the matter at hand, The writer should avoid mere “FORWARDING” or
“RETURNING” endorsement.
But in some cases, an endorsement is being patterned to a civilian letter with the
following parts: Heading, Dateline Address, salutation, body, Complementary Close and
Signature.

19. ROUTING SLIP
The Routing Slip is primarily aimed in transmitting papers from office to office within the
Headquarters, or from branch, within an office. It is never used to forward papers to an agency
outside of a Headquarters. It is used to speed up transmittal or correspondence direct to action
section without using brief a, DF or an endorsement.
However, when it is foster to stamp a comment on a basic communication and this
comment is intended to from part of the recorded, the Routing Slip will not be used. It is also
used for inter-office routing in a Headquarters for the purpose indicated by the remarks printed
on the form. It may be contain informal comments which are not intended to be forwarded
beyond the addressee on the slip. Because the routing slip is ordinarily not filed, it will never be
used for approvals, disapprovals, concurrences or other important actions or comments, no
matter how brief.
Some offices use a Routing Slip in plain white communication demanding immediate
action. This colored paper will thus indicate that the papers to which it is attached must be given
priority. To achieved greater efficiency in processing documents or tracking them down, the
DILG, thru its Memorandum Circular Number 92-18, has issued guidelines and procedures in
preparing a Routing Slip.
Some Instructions in Making Routing Slip
A routing Slip shall be attached to every document which needs to be acted upon;
The routing slip shall indicate the following information; CONTROL NUMBER, ORIGINATING
UNIT/OFFICE, TYPE OF DOCUMENT, DATE OF DOCUMENT, SUBJECT MATTER (or
particulars);
For purpose of tracking, each office/unit shall have its own documents control number;
Additional information shall indicate the DATE and TIME the documents is acted upon; the
name of the processor under the column FROM:; the name of the person to whom the
document is referred to for further processing under the column TO:; and a check mark on the
action taken from among those listed in the Routing Slip; and
The person to whom the document is released shall fill up the DATE RELEASED and
the RECEIVED BY entries.

Unit IV – Civilian Letter
Police uses a purely civilian letter when

communicating outside the PNP organization
such as the President of the Philippines,
Department Secretaries, Provincial Governors,
City or Municipal Mayors, owners/ managers of
the private companies and head or chief other
government agencies and the likes.
Learning Objective

. may be formal or informal, cordial or personal.
103
Content letter
Invitation
The police up to now still subscribe to some military conventional communications, such
as radio graphic message, memorandum, and solely used inside the PNP organization.
Civilian letter, unlike the radiographic message, memorandum and endorsements, has a
different form, because the former is particular on symmetry or a well- balanced appearance.
Also, a civilian letter has different phraseology and its paragraphing is not numbered, not unless
tabulation.
Parts of Civilian Letter
Heading
A typed or a printed letterhead may be used. It includes the writer’s office and office address.
Abbreviations shall not be made for the city, municipality and province.
Usually used in correspondence addressed outside of the police organization, the printed or
typed letterhead includes these pieces of the information, i.e., name of the police unit or office,
its address, telephone number and Zone international Postal (ZIP) code, if any. Sometimes, the
unit or office slogan and seal is written.
File Reference
The use of identifying file reference is optional depending upon the instructions issued by the
chief or head office. If ever used, it is placed at the left margin two spaces below the letterhead,
and on line with and/or below the current date.
Dateline
Month, day and year in that order is the dateline. In civilian letter the month is never
abbreviated, it is spelled out. Also st as in 1 st, nd as in 2nd, rd as in 3rd, or th as in 4th is not used
after the day, so with ’03 as in 2003 in writing the year.
Inside Address
The addressee name should be written fully. It should always be preceded by a courtesy title,
except in case of M.D., Ph.D., and few others. The first line shows the addressee’s name and
designation, if any: the second line, the name of the agency or company of the addressee
belong; the third line, the address of the agency or company. If not belonging to any agency or
company, the addressee’s local address will do.
104
Attention line
To speed up the handling of the letter, the attention line is used when the letter is addressed to
a company or to a particular department of a company or to an individual aside from the
addressee.
Salutation
The salutation greets the reader and the greeting may be formal or informal, cordial or personal.
Subject Line
The subject line is the gist of the message. It helps a very busy person find out in split second
what the letter is all about. As it is a part of the message, this line appears logical above it, and
below the salutation.
Body
The body is the message itself. In it, one of the problems may confront a correspondent is
paragraphing. This, however, does not pertain to the appearance of the message: but rather, to
its contents. A correspondent focuses on how to end and how to begin another paragraph. The
general rule for paragraphing is to have each separate idea or subject occupying a separate
paragraph.
Complimentary Close
A complementary close is usually followed by a comma, and comes immediately after the last
line of the message. The first word starts with a capital letter.
Company Signature
In civilian letter company signature may be shown immediately above the writer’s signature,
based on the theory that the company not the writer is the legal entity. In other words, the
company assumes a greater responsibility than the individual does; otherwise, the company
signature is omitted, especially if including it is not a standard policy of the firm.
It is important to note that “Mr.” should never be placed before the writer’s signature – printed or
signed name. The female correspondent may or may not enclose in parenthesis her “Miss” or
“Mrs.” Identity. And it is always advantageous to print writer’s name before he signs,
immediately above it. In a pen-writer letter, a second signature is enclosed in parentheses.
Reference Initial
Initials of the writer and his/her typist or secretary appear at the left of the stationery, about two
spaces below the writer’s identification. These initials are aligned with the left margin of the
letter.
105
Postscript(P.S)
If a writer has forgotten something in the message, he adds a P.S. it is intentional to attract
attention. The postscript may be flushed with the letter margins or may be flushed with the letter
margins or may be indented from both margins five spaces.
Copy Furnished
When one or two copies are furnished, a carbon copy (cc) notation is indicated on the original
and all copies of the letter. This may be done of two ways indicated.
This notation can be substitute the traditional “COPY FURNISHED” notation.
A blind carbon copy (bcc) notation does not appear on the original because the writer does not
want the addressee to know that a certain copy is furnished to another. This notation just
appears on carbon copies.
TYPES OF CIVILIAN LETTER
Information Letter
Because of the close association with the community member, the police executive receives
inquires and answers it. Furthermore, in order to uphold the dignity of the police organization,
the concerned police officer assures maintenance of peace and order, as well as dispersion of
justice to all.
Invitation letter
An invitation letter usually refers to that one securing a speaker for an important occasion. It
mentions the following: 1.) date, time, and place of the speaking engagement; 2.) topic to be
discussed; 3.) time limit; and 4.) verification of acceptance
106
Invitation Refusal
Between an invitation acceptance and an invitation refusal, the latter is more difficult to write.
The writer therefore, considers the following guides: 1.) appreciation for invitation; 2.) reason for
refusal: and 3.) possibility of accepting a similar invitation in the future.
(Your name)
(Your address)
(Your contact information)
(Date)
(Recipient’s Name)
(Recipient’s Job Title)
(Recipient’s Company Name)
(Recipient’s Address)
Sir/Madam,
I am much delight to receive the invitation to the (event name). I regret to inform you
that I will not be able to attend to your event due to (decline reason).
However, I would certainly try my best to attend on another occasion.
Respectfully yours,
(Your Name and Signature)

107
Claim Letter
A claim letter is written as a result of complaint the way supplies were delivered, services
rendered, or account paid. Anybody intending to write this kind of letter must think of courtesy
despite of their ire. The correspondents must not write when angry as to do means to project the
temper. The rudeness will be reflected in the letter.
However, when correspondent delays the communication, somehow, it finds the time to sobriety
before putting into words the ideas in the mind. Here are hints to guide the correspondent in
writing a claim letter: 1.) what is wrong: 2.) What is inconvenience was do far created; 3.) what
suggestions can be offered to remedy the situation?
Sample Claim Letter
(Your name)
(Your address)
(Your contact information)
(Date)
(Recipient’s Name)
(Recipient’s Job Title)
(Recipient’s Company Name)
(Recipient’s Address)
Sir/Madam
On (date of contract) I purchased a (product or service) from you: model xyz, a piece of

apply).
The purchase agreement was made at your store located at (give detail about the location
of the store, the person you dealt with and any particular or relevant representations made
as you about the product, good or services).
Describe the problem here,

I look forward to your immediate reply. You can contact me at my home telephone
number at (Conclusion: indicate that you are expecting an early response/resolution as of
your complaint and your emergency and other contact information).
Yours truly,
(Your name and signature)

108
Adjustment Letter
An adjustment letter is written in an answer to a claim.
Request Letter
Because this is letter that asks, a request letter is also termed as an “asking letter”. Specific
suggestion in writing a request letter:
To speed the handling of the request, the writer should address his/her letter to a particular
person or to a particular department if the addressee is not known.
The writer bust be clear in his/her own mind as to what he/she wants to know, omitting to ask
information that can be obtained from references, book, or other sources that are readily
available.
The writer must express his/her gratitude by saying “thank you” but not Thank you in advance”
or thanking you in advance”.
As this is a special favor, a stamped self- addressed enveloped should be enclosed.
Transmittal Letter
A transmittal is a letter that sends. It identifies what is being sent and what it is being intended
for. It sends an important paper request for appointment or promotion, and formal reports, a
check a bank draft or money order.
If money is involved, it is usually a remittance letter. The writer indicates the amount and a form
of payment is to be applied.
When transmitting a report, the letter may invite the reader’s comments or suggestions and
performed the following important functions: 1.0 it provides a permanent record or transfer 2.) it
shows the date on which the report was submitted: 3.) it states the name and position of the
writer of the report; and 4.) it shows why and whom the report was authorized.
Credit Letter
Credit is generally defined as the power to obtain good and services in the present time with a
promise to pay in the future. Credit helps the debtor in his /her financial difficulties and enables
him/her to obtain a good and services which he/she cannot afford on a cash basis. The debtor
gets from the creditor- the individual money lenders or loan sharks, retail stores, pawn shops,
banks, sales finance companies, credit unions or insurance companies.
A person wishing to established credit will usually go to a credit bureau for him/her to be
interviewed or he/she may call up instead. Otherwise, he/she writes a credit application,
emphasizing the following points: 1.) what is desired: 2.) guarantee; and 3.) reference if
necessary.
109
Order Letter
An order letter is written when a person or a customer for that matter asks for goods from a
seller or supplier. It needs to be correct, complete, and definite so that the reader may feel it
exactly as the writer wishes. Incompleteness or error may mean further correspondence,
shipping delays, complicated billings, repacking, reshipping and loss of business.
Inquiry Letter
A letter of inquiry wants to know about a product or a service. It is courteously worded. As

follows: 1.) clear, brief, and specific questions, including names, dates, and places which will
help the reader in answering them; 2.) reason why the information is important to the reader:
and 3.) omission of demanding replies, such as “at once.” “ as soon as possible” and the likes.
Recommendation Letter
Sometimes, an employee asks for a recommendation letter. Morally obligated, an employee

responds to the request and considers the following; 1.) the person being recommended; 2.)
his/her history of employment, qualifications and skills: 3.) an assessment of his/her personality:
and 4.) final recommendations.
Reference Letter
Because there are also civilian personnel employed in the police and/or in the military
installations, there are also sensitive positions which are meticulously considered. An
application for a delicate position which is scrutinized through the conduct of background
investigation. His/her former employer, for instance, receive a reference letter for his/her
prospective employee. This letter specifies the period of employment, the extent of the
employee’s competence or efficiency, and assurance of doing the same favor needed.
Application Letter
When a job seeker tries to sell his/her service through his/her qualifications or skills to a
prospective employer, he/she writes an application letter. Students and professionals, even
police resignees and retirees need his kind of letter when looking for a job.
This letter may be written in answer to an advertisement in the papers or bulletin boards. It may
be written through a hint of a friend of a relative on certain vacancies. Sometimes, it is done
through the writer’s own initiative: he/she tries his/her luck buy writing any corporation he/she
thinks need a worker like her/him.
However the applicant needs to know some gimmicky techniques for him/her to sell his/her
personality successfully to his/her would-be employer. He/she presents or shows the right
approaches. One of them is neat in appearance of the letter. Another is the systematic
arrangement of ideas.
110
As a guide, here are the contents of an application letter: 1.) source of information; 2.) interest in
a particular position; 3.) personal qualifications; 4.) urgent reason for needing the position; 5.)
assurance of respectable people as reference; and 6.) availability for a personal interview.
Condolence Letter
Usually, this letter depends on how well the sympathizer knows the bereaved. But more often
than not, the tone is personal in approach, sincere in condoling. To condole is to comfort.
Appointment Letter
An appointment letter is sent to a person who has been appointed to serve a committee or who
has been selected to perform a special task. It may be rejected or accepted.
FORMS OF CIVILIAN LETTERS
Full- Block Style
Full-block format is considered the most formal among the three styles. In full-block style, every
single line is justified to the left margin. The dateline is placed two to six-line spaces below the
last line in heading or letterhead. The inside address placement varies depending upon the
length of the letter. A common spacing is four-line space below the date line. The salutation of
the letter is place two lines below the attention line ( if the attention line is provided). The first
line of the body is placed place two line below attention line or two to four lines below the last
inside addressed line. When using full-block, paragraphs are single spaced, with a double
space between paragraphs.
Semi- Block Style
Semi-block style is frequently called modified semi-block because it is a slightly less formal
modification of full-block format. This letter style places the date line in alignment with or slightly
to the right of dead center. Another option of placing the dateline in semi- block is flush right.
Similar to full block, semi-block places the inside address, salutation and any end notations
flush with the left margin. The complementary close and signature are aligned under the date.
Indented Style
If you are using the indented form, place your address and the date on the top right side of the
page. Skip four lines and type the inside address. Skip two line and type the salutation flush left.
Skip two lines and indent the first line of each paragraph one-half inch. Skip lines between
paragraphs. Instead of placing the closing signature lines flush left, type them at the right, even
with the address and date above. Skip four lines between the closing line and your name
allowing room for your written signature.
