INTRODUCTION

 Whenever a community is organized, it is imperative for the policing system to


be established to deal with crimes being committed by its members. This is
because a crime is already a part of our community which may happen anytime,
anywhere and unexpectedly like a calamity.

 Hence, it is right to consider crime as a social phenomenon. In the history of


Philippine policing systems, several things may be learned from the problems
and mistakes that were encountered and committed in the past that may serve
as guiding stars in improving our present and future policing systems.

CHAPTER 1

(History of Policing System)

From the simplest social structure-the family to the most complex-the community
of nations, it is essential that certain norms and conduct be to be established and
observed in order to ensure that the cordial and harmonious relationship among its
members are preserved and maintained.

It is in the field of law enforcement that the police are most involved in the
complicated inter-relationship within a social structure. The effectiveness of a police
organization is essentially dependent on the manner the same is managed,
administered and controlled and most especially on the trust that the citizens-clientele
of policing business bestow upon it.

THE MEANING OF THE TERM “POLICE”


 POLICE is the agency of a community or government that is responsible for
enforcing the law, maintaining public order, preventing and detecting crime.
 The term POLICE refers to the internal organization or regulation of the state,
the control and regulation of the community or state through the exercise of the
constitutional power of the government.
 In a narrower sense, POLICE denotes the constitutionally created agency that
exercises the power of the government concerning the maintenance of
tranquility, public order, peace, security of person and property and the
protection of public health and morale.

 In a very restricted sense, POLICE refers to that organization of armed men,


which is actually an institution that is capable of exercising legally mandated
duties to enforce the law, maintain public order, and detect and prevent crimes.

LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY


 The term Law Enforcement Agency is broader, that includes other agencies
under the executive branch of the government in charge with the execution or
enforcement of laws.

DIFFERENT POLICE ACTIVITIES


 Prevention of crime is intended to prevent root causes of crime.
 Repression or suppression of crime is done to reduce the opportunity of
committing a crime like the act of conducting patrol.
 Apprehending offenders is also known as arresting offenders.
 Conduct search and seizure;
 Investigation of crime; and
 Protection of lives and property.

THE EVOLUTION OF POLICING SYSTEM


The term police came from the Greek word POLITEIA (government of a city),
which was used to describe the group of civil officers governing the city and not
necessarily the armed guarding or policing the city when the Romans conquered the
Greeks, the changed the word slightly to POLITIA.
The French changed the word to POLICE and used it to those authorized people
who actually enforce the law. The English and the Americans borrowed the word from
the French and used it to describe a law enforcement officer.
The creation of police force as a protective and law enforcement organization
developed from the use of military bodies as guardians of the peace such as the
PRAETORIAN GUARD of ancient Rome.
The Romans achieved a high level of law enforcement, which remained in effect
until the decline of the empire and the onset of the Middle Ages. Beginning in the 5 th
century, policing became a function of the heads of fiefdoms and principalities.

1. ANGLO-SAXON PERIOD OF POLICING SYSTEM (Ancient England)


During the Anglo-Saxon period in England, the practiced policing systems
compared with the present Philippine Policing system, are the following:

Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
Page |5

a. THANES POLICING SYSTEM


 King Alfred the great introduced a type of internal police force where
landowners (known Thanes) throughout his kingdom were responsible to
police their own territory. As such the landowners are empowered to arrest
offenders and deliver them to the king. They were also empowered to settle
civil litigations.

Note: The Thanes Policing System is not being followed at present in the Philippines
because landowners are not empowered to settle civil litigations. They are however
conduct arrest under any of the circumstances of warrantless arrest.
b. FRANKPLEDGE System
 Policing was carried out under a system called frankpledge or mutual pledge,
whereby every male over 12 years old join nine (9) of his neighbors to form
a Tythingmen.

TYTHINGMEN – a group of men whose duty was to apprehend any


person who offends another and deliver that offender for trial.

 Anyone who failed to join and perform this obligatory duty was severely
fined. Thus, policing responsibility lies on the hands of the citizens.

Note: Frankpledge Policing System is not being followed at present in the


Philippines because a person may become a policeman only if he reaches the age
required and not all male residents are required to do police works.

c. TUN POLICING
 Tun was the forerunner of the word “town”.
 Under this system, all male residents were required to guard the town to
preserve peace and order, protect the life and properties of the people and
other factors that disturbs the peace and order.

Note: Tun Policing System is not being followed at present because not all residents
are required to do police works.

d. HUE AND CRY


 In this system, the complainant or victim goes to the middle of the
community and shout to call all male residents to assemble.
 The victim reports his complaint to the assembly. Consequently, all the male
residents will go after the criminal and apprehend him.

Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
Page |6

Note: The Hue and Cry Policing System is not being followed at present because
our sense of obligation to assemble and arrest the perpetrator, even if we are
capacitated to do so, already deteriorated.

e. ROYAL JUDGE System


 The royal judge conducted criminal investigation and gave punishment fitted
to the crime committed.
 This practice started the identification of criminals.

Note: At present in the Philippines, the Royal Judge is not being followed because
our judges do not conduct criminal investigations, they only conduct trial to
determine whether the accused is guilty or not guilty and impose the proper penalty
in case of conviction.

f. TRIAL BY ORDEAL
 A suspect was required to place his hands over boiling water or oil.
 If he would not get hurt, he will be acquitted but when hurt, he would be
considered guilty.
 Double jeopardy was prevalent during this period.
DOUBLE JEOPARDY- the prosecution of a person twice for the same
offense.

Note: At present, The Trial by Ordeal is not also being followed because we all
know that anyone who puts his hand in boiling water will get hurt, whether guilty or
not of the crime charged.

2. NORMAN PERIOD OF POLICING (1066-1285)


a. SHIRE-REEVE System
 When King William Norman became the ruler of England, he divided his
kingdom into 55 military districts known as the Shire-Reeves.
 SHIRE means a district while REEVE means the ruler who made laws, pass
judgment and impose punishment.
 He was assisted by a group of constables, the forerunner of the constabulary.
 The term Shire-Reeve eventually became Sheriff, the title of the chief of
constables or police officers in a certain town.
 The TRAVELLING JUDGE was held responsible in deciding cases that were
taken from Shire-Reeves due to some abuses.

Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
Page |7

Note: In the Philippines at present, no single person is authorized to make laws,


render judgment and impose penalties at the same time. The act of making laws is
within the exclusive power of the legislative branch of the government and the act
of rendering judgment and imposing penalties is the power of the judiciary.

b. KEEPERS OF PEACE
 The keepers of peace was a proclamation issued by King Richard of England
in 1195 requiring the appointment of knights to maintain peace and order at
the place where the king is residing. The knights were posted on bridges and
gates to check the people entering and leaving the town or cities.

Note: At present in the Philippine setting, the President is guarded by a special unit
called the Presidential Security Group.

c. LEGIS HENRIE
 This law was enacted during the time of King Henry I, which imposed the
following -features:
1. Law violations were classified as offenses against the King.
2. Policemen became public officials.
3. The police and the citizens have the broad power to arrest.
4. Grand Jury was created to inquire on the facts of the law.

d. 1195
 King Richard of England issued a proclamation entitled KEEPERS OF THE
PEACE.
 Requiring the appointment of Knights to keep the King’s peace by standing as
guards on bridges and gates while checking the people entering and leaving the
cities and towns.

e. June 15, 1215


 Magna Carta (Great Charter) was sealed by King John of England.
 This became a law upon the demand of the Knights of the Round Table. The
knights forced King John to sign the document, which declared the following:
1) No freemen shall be taken or imprisoned, disposed, outlawed, or bowed except by
legal judgment of his peers.

Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
Page |8

2) No person should be tried for murder unless there is proof of the body of the victim.
3) There should be national and local government as well as the national and local
legislation.

 Was enacted for law and order.
 This law introduced the system of WATCH AND WARD.

b. STATUTE OF 1295
 Began the closing of the gates of London during sunset.

CHAPTER 2
(CONCEPTS, THEORIES & PRINCIPLES OF MODERN POLICING)

Concepts of Modern Policing (Sir Robert Peel)


The police should be organized along military lines.
a. The police should be place under screening and training.
b. The police should be hired on a probationary basis.
c. The police should be deployed by time and by area.
d. Police headquarters should be accessible to the people.
e. Police-Record keeping is essential.

General Concept of Police Service


1. Old Concept
Police service gives the impression of being merely a suppressive machinery. This
philosophy advocates that the measurement of police competence is the increasing
number of arrests, throwing offenders in detention facilities rather than trying to
prevent them from committing crimes. Punishment is the role instrument of crime
control-throwing more people to jail rather than keeping them out of jail.
2. New or Modern Concept
Regards police as the first line of defense of the criminal justice system, an organ of
crime prevention. The yardstick of efficiency of the police is the absence of crime or
decreasing number of crimes. Its objective is the welfare of the people and the society.

The Principles of Law Enforcement enunciated by Sir Robert Peel


a. Prevention of Crime is the basic mission of the police.
b. Police must have the full respect of the citizenry.
c. A citizen’s respect for law develops his respect for the police.
d. Cooperation of the public decreases as the use of force increases.
e. Police must render impartial enforcement of the law.
f. Physical force is used only as a last resort.

Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
P a g e | 16

g. The police are the public and the public are the police.
h. The police represent the law.
i. The absence of crime and disorder is the test of police efficiency.

The Principles of Police Organization


Hierarchy of authority entails the superior-subordinate relationship throughout
the department, wherein a superior officer supervises each individual.

Principles of Hierarchy of Authority


a. Span of Control refers to the number of officers or subordinates that
a superior supervises without regard to the effectiveness or efficiency
of the supervision.
b. Unity of Command refers to placing one and only one superior in
command or in control of every situation and every employee.
c. Delegation of Authority is the assignment of tasks, duties, and
responsibilities to subordinates while at the same time giving them the
power or right to control, command, make decisions, or otherwise act
in performing the delegated responsibilities.

THEORIES OF POLICE SERVICE


1. Continental Theory
Policemen are considered as state or servants of the higher authority. The people have
little or no share of all their duties, nor any direct connection with the police
organization.

2. Home Rule Theory


Policemen are considered servants of the community who depend for the effectiveness
of their functions upon the express wishes of the people. Policemen are civil servants
whose key duty is the preservation of public peace and security.

- refers to the duties and responsibilities carried out by police agencies concerning
public order and public safety.

POLICE POWER
- is the inherent power of the government to impose reasonable restrictions on the
liberties of its citizens for the maintenance of public order and safety

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADMINISTRATION AND


MANAGEMENT?
- Administration is the determination of objectives and major policies of an
organization, while management is the act of placing into action the policies and
plans laid down by the administration. Hence, administration is a determinative
function, while management is an executive function.

WHAT ARE THE DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN GOALS AND OBJECTIVES?


1. Goals are broad, while objectives are narrow
2. Goals are general intentions, while objectives are precise.
3. Goals are intangible, while objectives are tangible
4. Goals are abstract, while objectives are concrete.

AUTHORITY
- the right to command and control the behavior of employees in lower positions
within an organizational hierarchy
- must be viewed in terms of prescribed roles rather than of individuals
- a particular position within an organization carries the same regardless of who
occupies that position

HIERARCHY
- represents the formal relationship among superiors and subordinates in any
given organization
- serves as the framework for the flow of authority downward, and obedience
upward, through the department

1. SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT IN ORGANIZATION – by Frederick Taylor


 Emphasis on planning, standardizing, and improving human effort in the
operational level of the organization

2. GENERAL MANAGEMENT THEORY – by Henri Fayo


 Emphasis on the elements of planning, organizing, command, coordination and
control.

3. BUREAUCRATIC MODEL OF ORGANIZATION – by Max Weber


 Emphasis on the characteristics of bureaucracy
a. Division of labor
b. Centralization of authority
c. Rational program of personnel administration
d. Rules and regulation
e. Written records

4. THE SCIENCE OF ADMINISTRATION – by Luther Gulick and Lyndal Urwick


Emphasis on the principles of:
1) PLANNING

- the determination in advance of how the objectives of the organization will be


attained

- is the process of selecting goals and determining how to achieve them.

- the process of setting performance objectives and identifying the actions needed
to accomplish them

- working out in broad outline the things that need to be done and the methods
for doing them to accomplish the purpose set for the enterprise

2) ORGANIZING

- involves the determination and allocation of the men and women as well as the
resource of an organization to achieve pre-determined goals or objectives of the
organization

- the process of dividing the work to be done and coordinating results to achieve a
desired purpose

Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
P a g e | 23

- establishment of the formal structure of authority through which work


subdivisions are arranged, defined and coordinated for the desired objectives

- is the process of making an organization fit with its objectives, resources and
environment.

3) DIRECTING

- involves the overseeing and supervising of the human resources and the various
activities in an organization to achieve through cooperative efforts the pre-
determined goals or objectives of the organization
- also called leading, the process of directing and coordinating the work efforts of
other people to help them accomplish important task
- task of making decisions and embodying them in specific and general orders and
instructions
- is the process of giving orders, commands, directives, or instructions to
personnel in order to rule them in accomplishing the goals or objectives of an
organization.

5) STAFFING

- the task of providing competent men to do the job and choosing the right men
for the right job

- involves good selection and processing of reliable and well-trained personnel

- filling the organization with the right people in the right position

THE FOLLOWING ARE DIFFERENT STAFFING ACTIVITIES:

 RECRUITMENT - refers to the set of activities and processes used to legally


obtain a sufficient number of right people for specific positions.

suitable person for the current position or for future position.
 APPRAISAL - is the process of measuring performance
 TRAINING - is the act of improving the ability required in the current job
 DEVELOPMENT - is the act of improving the ability required in the future job.

WHAT IS THE NEXT-IN-RANK-RULE IN RELATION TO SELECTION?

The next in rank rule states that the appointing authority must prioritize the
selection of next in rank filling up a vacant position. This rule is not, however, absolute.
The appointing authority may still appoint any other person aside from the next in rank
provided he must state the reason of not complying with said rule.

6) COORDINATING

- is the manner of integrating the different element within and outside of an


organization into a harmonious relationship.

5. THE PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIZATION – by Mooney and Reiley


 Mooney and Reiley identified coordination as the preeminent element of
organizational designs. Thus, coordination is the mother of principles.

POLICE ADMINISTRATION
Police in action. It is the cooperative human effort to achieve the purposes of the
criminal justice system. It refers also to the study of the processes and condition of Law
Enforcement as a pillar of justice.

FUNCTIONS IN A POLICE ORGANIZATION


1) PRIMARY OR LINE FUNCTIONS
- functions that carry out the major purposes of the organization, delivering the
services and dealing directly with the public
- the backbone of the police department
- examples of the line functions of the police are patrolling, traffic duties, crime
investigation

2) STAFF/ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS
- functions that are designed to support the line functions and assist in the
performance of the line functions
- examples of the staff functions of the police are planning, research, budgeting
and legal advice

3) AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS
- functions involving the logistical operations of the organization
- examples are training, communication, maintenance, records management,
supplies and equipment management

ORGANIC UNITS IN A POLICE ORGANIZATION


1) OPERATIONAL UNITS
- those that perform primary or line functions
- examples are patrol, traffic, investigation and vice control,

2) ADMINISTRATIVE UNITS
- those that perform the administrative functions
examples are personnel, finance, planning and training

Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)

3) SERVICE UNITS
- those that perform auxiliary functions
examples are communication, records management, supplies

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
It is a mechanical means of depicting by an arrangement of symbols, the
relationship that exist between individuals, groups, and functional relationships between
groups and individuals are clearly defined to ensure accountability and compliance.

Types of Organization Structures


A. LINE ORGANIZATION
- often called the individual, mi
- -litary, or departmental type of organization
- it is the simplest and oldest type of organizational structure
- channels of authority and responsibility extend in a direct line from top to
bottom within the structure.
- depicts the line functions of the organization
- orders or commands must come from the higher level of authority before it can
be carried out
- involves few departments

ADVANTAGES:
1. Simple
2. Division

Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
P a g e | 27

3. Each unit completely controlled


4. Direct responsibility and accountability
5. Quick decisions because of direct lines of authority

DISADVANTAGE:
1. Impractical

B. FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION
 Functional organization divides responsibility and authority between several
specialists, such as a person responsible for all training, an employee directing
the community relations activities of all units, or a person handling cases
involving all juvenile activities.
 The functional responsibility of a commander is limited to the particular activity
over which he has control.
 depicts staff functions of the organization
 responsibilities are divided among authorities who are all accountable to the
authority above
FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Chief of Police

Personnel Training Juvenile Traffic


Community Relation

Line Officers and Employees

C. LINE AND STAFF ORGANIZATION


 The line and staff organization is the combination of line and functional types
and is found in almost all police agencies today.
 It combines staff specialist with line organization so that service of knowledge
can be provided line personnel by specialists such as criminalist training officers
and intelligence specialist.

Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
P a g e | 28

 Channels or responsibility and authority are left intact since the specialist
provides expertise while the line does the task. Specialist only give advises not
commands.
 Generally more formal in nature and has many departments

The Philippine National Police follow the line and staff kind of organizational
structure.

compliance

ORGANIZATIONAL PRINCIPLES

FOUR PRIMAL CONDITIONS OF AN ORGANIZATION


1) AUTHORITY
- the supreme source of government for any particular organization
- the right to exercise, to decide and to command by virtue of rank and position

2) MUTUAL COOPERATION
- an organization exists because it serves a purpose

3) DOCTRINE
- provides for the organization’s objectives

Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
P a g e | 29

- provides the various actions, hence, policies, procedures, rules and regulations
of the organization are based on the statement of doctrines

4) DISCIPLINE
- comprising behavioral regulations

COMMAND AND STAFF PRINCIPLES

COMMANDER – he exercise command authority and responsibility over


subordinates by virtue of his rank and assignment, he discharge his responsibilities
through a chain of command
COMMANDER AUTHORITY – this provides the commander with right to plan,
organize, direct, coordinate, and control PNP forces or units in order to accomplish an
assigned mission or task
COMMAND RESPONSIBILITY – commander is responsible for all that his unit
does or fails to do. He alone answers for the success or failure of his command
STAFF – issue orders in the name of commander, provides information to
commander, offices, other agencies and units. Make estimates of the situation,
recommendation, preparing plans and orders as well as supervision.

PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIZATION

1. GROUPING OF SIMILAR TASK


- task, similar or related in purpose, process, method, or clientele should be
grouped together in one or more units under the control of one person. Grouping can
be done in the following:
a. ACCORDING TO FUNCTION – grouping according to the nature of the task to be
performed. It should be divided into groups sp that similar and related duties may be
assigned to each.
b. ACCORDING TO TIME FRAME – the units are divided into shifts according to time
of the day.

Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
P a g e | 30

c. ACCORDING TO PLACE OF WORK – a territorial distribution of a platoon


accomplished assigning patrolman on beats is necessary to facilitate the direction and
control of officers and to ensure suitable patrol service at every point within the
jurisdiction.
d. ACCORDING TO LEVEL OF AUTHORITY – A police department is always divided
according to level of authority; that is, there will be some patrolmen, some sergeants,
some lieutenants, and so on.
Vertical combinations of superior officers with each rank at a different level of
authority from any other form channels through which operations may be directed and
controlled.
Those chains of command, or lines of direct control, facilitate the delegation of
authority and the placing of authority and responsibility, supervision is thus ensured.

2. SPECIALIZATION BASED ON NEEDS


Specialization is a principle of organization that results from the division of the
force into separate units to perform police tasks.
The degree of specialization is determined by the size of the department, by the
number of units created and extent of responsibility for the performance of task within
the special field.

3. LINES OF AUTHORITY AND CHAIN OF COMMAND


Communications should be ordinarily goes upward and downward through
established channels in the hierarchy.
Diverting orders, directive, or reports around a level of command usually has
disastrous effects on efficiency of the organization, if the level, which is by passed, is
ordinarily capable and responsible. The bypassed superior has no official knowledge of
the nature of a directive going downward. Since he is unaware of the directive, he can
be hardly being held responsible for enforcing it.
In emergency situations, those that requires an immediate action, giving of
orders by an officer in a staff capacity in the name of someone high in the hierarchy is
acceptable, thus the duty of a subordinate to obey. He has no alternative under those
special situations. This is also known as SCALAR OF COMMAND.

4. UNITY OF COMMAND

Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
P a g e | 31

Only one man be in complete command of each situation, only one man be in
direct command or supervision of each officer.
Confusion is created when more than one superior undertakes independent
command of an operation performed by several subordinates or when a subordinate
receives orders from more than one superior.

5. SPAN OF CONTROL
The ability of one man to direct, coordinate and control immediate subordinates.
The broad span of control may be reduced by the use of additional supervisory
level of officials, thus lengthening the chain of command.

6. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
The principle of delegation of work is related to the process of committing an
activity to another’s care. It is closely related to the principle of span of control in that
even though the span of attention is excessive, the harm from it can be reduced by the
delegation of much detail to subordination.
Conferring of an amount of authority by a superior position to a lower-level
position. A superior may delegate some of his duties to his subordinates. Said superior
is however, responsible for the neglect of his subordinates.
It is the transfer of authority of a higher officer to another subordinate such as a
unit head or who is a superior of another unit or division. This process is continued to
the lowest level of execution.
The delegations of authority are divided into:
a. POLICY FORMULATION – involves what are to be done in the form of
orders or broad statement of action.
b. DIRECTION – deals with procedures, what is to be done, who will do it,
when, where and how it is to be done.
c. SUPERVISION – deals with the assistance and guidance given to
subordinates to ensure successful performance.
d. EXECUTION – deals with the performance of tasks in consonance with
authority to fulfill responsibility.
