THEORIES OF POLICE SERVICE
Continental = is the theory of police service which maintains that police officers are servants of higher authorities. This
theory prevails in the continental countries like France, Italy and Spain.
Home Rule = the theory of police service which states that police officers are servants of the community or the people.
This theory prevails in England and United States. It is also the police service which prevails in country with decentralized
form of government. This is likewise the police service theory that should prevail in the Philippines based on the existing
laws, concepts and principles.
CONCEPT OF POLICE SERVICE
a. Old police service = states that the yardstick of police proficiency relies on the number of arrests made.
b. Modern police service = states that the yardstick of police proficiency relies on the absence of crime.
EVOLUTION OF POLICING SYSTEM
*Praetorian guards = military bodies who serve as guardians of peace in ancient Rome in which the idea of policing said
to have originated
*Officer de la Paix = a French term which claimed to be the origin of the term Police Officer
1. Anglo-Saxon Period of Policing System (Ancient England)
A. Tun Policing System
A system of policing emerged during the Anglo-Saxon period whereby all male residents were required to guard the
town (tun) to preserve peace and protect the lives and properties of the people. About 700 AD, the people living in
England in small rural towns used the Anglo-Saxon System. Ten families in a town (tun) equaled a tithing. Each tithing
elected a leader who was known as the Tithingman. Since 10 tithings amounted to 100, the leader of the 100 families
was named the reeve. Both the tithingman and reeve were elected officials. They possessed judicial power as well as
police authority.
B. Hue and Cry
A village law started in Britain which provided methods of apprehending a criminal by an act of the complainant to shout
to call all male residents to assemble and arrest the suspect.
C. Trial by Ordeal
A judicial practice where in the guilt or innocence of the accused is determined by subjecting him to an unpleasant,
usually dangerous, experience. (In present terminologies, it would mean an employment of a “3 rd degree.”) The word
“ordeal” was derived from the Medieval Latin word “Dei Indicum” which means “a miraculous decision.”
2. Norman Period of Policing System
This system of policing existed during the time of Norman William The Conqueror (King of France). When he invaded
and conquered England, a military regime of conquers and dictators began and changed the concept of crime being
committed against the state.
A. Shire-Rieve
Shire-Rieve was a policing system during the Norman Period when England was divided into fifty-five (55) military areas,
each headed by a ruler called the Rieve (head-man or lieutenant of the army). The fifty-five (55) military divisions in
England are called shires. The shire-rieve had absolute powers that no one could questions his or her actions. Two
“Constabuli” or “The Keeper of the Horse” were appointed to each village to aid the Rieve in his duties. It became the
source of the word Constable. The term “Shire-Rieve” is said to be the origin of the word “Sheriff.”
B. Travelling Judge or Circuit Judge
A judge selected to hear cases which were formerly being judged by the Shire-Rieve and tasked to travel through and
hear criminal cases. This was the first instance of the division of the police and judicial powers.
C. Legis Henrici
An act that was enacted during this period with the following features:
*Offenses were classified as against the king and individual.
*Policeman becomes public servant.
*The police and the citizens have the broad power to arrest. It introduced the system called “citizen’s arrest.”
*Grand Jury was created to inquire on the facts of the law. A system which made inquisition onto the facts of a crime
and eliminate the “Anglo-Saxon Trial or “Trial by Ordeal System.”
D. Frankpledge System
A system of policing whereby a group of ten neighboring male residents over twelve years of age were required to guard
the town to preserve peace and protect the lives and properties of the people
3. Westminster Period of Policing System
It is called by this name because the laws governing policing came out of the capital of England, which at the time was
Westminster. This period has the following features:
*Guards were appointed and the duties of the constables at night (watch) and in daytime (ward) were defined
*Statute of Westminster of 1285, a collection of regulations aimed at keeping the peace.
Statute of 1295
The law that marks the beginning of the curfew hours, which demanded the closing of the gates of London during
sundown.
Justice of the Peace (About 1361)
Three or four men who were learned in the law of the land were given authority to pursue, arrest, chastise and
imprisonment violators of law. They handled felonies, misdemeanors and infractions of city or village ordinances. This
was later abolished about 75 years after.
Star Chamber Court (1487)
A special court designed to try offenders against the state. The room set-up is formed in a shape of a star and judges
were given great powers such as the power to force testimony from a defendant leading to a great abuse of power or
brutality on the part of the judges.
4. Keepers of the Peace
A proclamation issued by King Richard of England sometime in 1195 that required 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.
5. King Charles II of England (1663)
King Charles II passed an act which established or promoted the employment of watchmen or bellmen to be on duty
from sunset to sunrise.
6. Magna Carta or & “The Great Charter”

DEFINITION OF SECURITY
- Generally, the meaning of security is a kind of state where people, institution, authority or groups feel fully secured of
feeling, free from any threat or vulnerability from somewhere or someone in his/her life, liberty, property or activity. It
could be in physical, psychological, social or economic form.
- It is a state or quality of being secured, freedom from fear or danger, assurance, certainty.
- It is the degree of protection against danger, loss, and criminals.
- Protection against any type of crime to safeguard life and assets by various methods and device.
Brief History of Security in the Philippines
- The private security business began on March 11, 1933, when the first formally licensed private security agency
“Special Watchman Agency” started operations;
- Later it renamed “Jimenez Security Agency”, founded by brothers Juan and Pedro Jimenez;
- On May 30 1958, the Philippine Association of Detectives and Protective Agency Operations (PADPAO) was formally
organized;
- RA 5487 was passed on June 13, 1969 through the continuous lobbying of the incorporators and officers of PADPAO,
which set the standards and minimum requirements for the operations of security agencies.
- P.D. 11 was passed on October 3, 1972, widening the coverage of RA 5487 to include security guards employed in
logging concessions, agricultural, mining and pasture lands;
- P.D. 100 was issued on January 17, 1973, broadening the coverage of the security industry to include employees of the
national or local government or any agency who are employed to watch or secure government building and properties.
- On August 1969, the Philippine Constabulary activated the Security and Investigation Supervisory office or SIASO to
supervise and control the organization and operation of private security and detective agencies nationwide;
- Later it was renamed Philippine Constabulary Supervisory Office for Security and Investigation Agencies or PCSUSIA.
- With the passage of RA 6975, this unit was absorbed by the Philippine National Police;
- Later it was made into a division of the PNP Civil Security Group and was renamed Security Agencies and Guard
Supervision Division (SAGSD);
- It was again renamed to PNP Supervisory Office for Security Investigation Agency (SOSIA).
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF SECURITY
1. Command Responsibility – Cannot be delegated but the security tasks can be assigned.
2. Compartmentation – Need to know basis
3. Balance between security and efficiency – Security prevails over efficiency
4. General principles of security remain constant – Specific measures to suit operations
5. Security is the concern of all personnel – Regardless of rank, position, designation
TYPES OF SECURITY MEASURES FOR AN EFFECTIVE DEFENSE AGAINST CRIMES:
1.ACTIVE MEASURES – these involve the installation of physical barriers, security lighting, use of vaults, locks and others.
2. PASSIVE MEASURES – those that will deter man from committing such act of fear of being caught, charge in
court or get dismissed, such as: security education, programs, investigations, seminars, personnel security check.
THREE MAJOR AREAS OF SECURITY
1. Physical Security
2. Personnel Security
3. Document and Information Security
TYPES OF SECURITY
1. PHYSICAL SECURITY – a system of barriers placed between the potential intruder and the objects/matter to be
protected. It is the broadest branch of security, which is concerned with physical measures adopted to prevent
unauthorized access to equipment, facilities, materials and documents and to safeguard them against espionage,
sabotage, damage and theft.
OBJECTIVES:
a. To protect the organization’s asset;
b. To make access so difficult that an intruder will not dare attempt penetration.
CONCEPTS:
a. Enemy agents will always seek access;
b. Surreptitious entry is the greatest hazard to security;
c. There are no impenetrable barriers;
d. Each installation is different.
FACTORS THAT BRING INSECURE CONDITION:
1. Threat – An indication of impending danger or harm;
- positive inimical acts
2. Hazard – A chance of being injured or harmed;
-passive inimical acts
3. Vulnerability – inability to withstand the effects of a hostile environment
-measure of how open an establishment to intrusion, attack or injury
4. Risk – is the potential that a chosen action or activity (including the choice of inaction) will lead to a loss (an
undesirable outcome).
-probability of an event to happen that will lead to loss.
SECURITY HAZARD – An act or condition which results in a situation conducive to a breach of the protection system and
the subsequent loss or compromise, or damage to personnel, property or facilities.
KINDS OF HAZARDS
1. Man –Made Hazards – an acts or conditions affecting the safe of operation of the facility caused by human action,
accidental or intentional. It includes sabotage, espionage, pilferage and theft.
2. Natural Hazard – cause by natural phenomena which cause damage, disturbance and problems of normal functioning
activities, including security. It includes flood, lighting, storms and volcanic eruptions.
THE EXTENT OF DEGREE OF RISK TO SECURITY WILL BE DEFENDANT ON THE FOLLOWING:
1. RELATIVE CRITICALITY OF OPERATIONS – is the importance of the firm which reference to the national economy and
security.
2. RELATIVE VULNERABILITY – The susceptibility of the plant or establishment to damage, loss, or disruption of
operation due to various hazard.
BARRIER – can be defined as any structure or physical device capable of restricting, deterring, delaying, illegal
access to an installation.
Generally, a barrier is use for the following purposes:
1. Outline the perimeter of the area to be secured;
2. Create a physical and psychological deterrent to unauthorized entry;
3. Delay intrusion, thus facilitating apprehension of intruders;
4. Assist in more efficient and economical employment of guards;
5. Facilitates and impose the control of pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
THREE LINES OF PHYSICAL DEFENSE
1. First Line of Defense
>Perimeter fences/barriers
>Guards at the gate
2. Second Line of Defense
>Doors, Floors, walls, roofs
>Windows – below 18 feet must be installed by grill.
3. Third Line of Defense
>Cabinets, locks, safes, vaults, interior file rooms
Perimeter barrier/fences – a medium or structure which defines the physical limits of an installation or area to restrict
or impede access thereto.
TYPES OF PHYSICAL BARRIER:
1. NATURAL BARRIER – include mountains, rivers, seas, desserts or terrain difficult to traverse. To be fully
effective, these barriers must be under surveillance of guards.
2.STRUCTURAL OR MAN-MADE BARRIER – structural constructions made by man like fences, walls, floors,
roofs, grill or other physical means to deter or impede penetration.
3. Human Barrier – Security guards and employees of the establishment.
4. Animal Barrier – animals are used in partially providing a guarding system like dogs and greese.
5. Energy Barrier – It is the employment of mechanical, electrical, electronic energy imposes a deterrent to entry
by the potential intruder.
TYPES OF PERIMETER BARRIER
1. SOLID FENCE – Constructed in such a way that visual access through the fence is denied. Its advantage is that
it denies the opportunity for the intruder to become familiar with the personnel, activities and the scheduled
movements of the security personnel. On the other hand, it prevents the guards from observing the area around the
installation and it creates shadow that may be used by the intruder for cover and concealment.
WALL – Masonry wall should have the same as the chain linked and surrounded by the barbed wire as top guard.
2. FULL VIEW FENCE – It is constructed in such a way that visuals access is permitted through the fence. Its
advantage is, that it allows the security personnel to keep the surrounding of the installation under observation. On
the other hand, it allows the intruder to become familiar with the movements of the security personnel.
TYPES OF FULL VIEW FENCE
1. CHAIN LINK FENCE
- Should be constructed minimum height of 7 feet excluding top guard;
- 9 gauges or heavier;
- Mesh openings of not larger 2 inches per side;
- Twisted;
- Securely fastened to rigid material or reinforced concrete;
- Reach within 2 inches of hard ground or paving;
- On soft ground, it must reach below surface deep enough to compensate for shifting soil or sand.
2. BARBED WIRE FENCE – is a type of fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the
strand(s). It is used to construct inexpensive fences.
SPECIFICATIONS OF BARBED WIRE FENCE
>Standard barbed wire is twisted double strand, 12-gauge wires, with 4-point barb spaced on equal distant
part;
>Barbed wire fencing should not be less than 7 feet high, excluding the top guard;
>Barbed wire fencing must be firmly affixed to post not more than 6 feet apart;
>The distance between strands will not exceed 6 inches and at least one wire will be interlock and midway
between posts.
3. Concertina Wire or Dannert Wire – is a type of barbed wire or razor wire that is formed in large coils which can
be expanded like a concertina. Opened concertina wire is 50 feet long and 3 feet diameter.
ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE BARRIERS
1. Top Guard- an addition overhang or barbed wire place on vertical perimeter fences facing upward and outward with a
45-degree angle with three to four strands of barbed wires space six inches apart. This will increase the protective height
and prevent easy access.
2. Entry Stations – provided at main perimeter entrances to secure areas located out of the doors, and manned by
guards on a full-time basis.
3. Towers – a house like structures above the perimeter barrier. Height of tower increases the range of observation
during day and night with artificial illumination.
4. Clear Zones – unobstructed area maintains on both sides of the perimeter barrier. It affords better observation and
patrol movement. It should be cleared of anything that may provide concealment or assistance to a person seeking an
authorized entry.
CLEAR ZONE
-20 feet or more between the perimeter barrier and exterior structure. (Outside)
-50 feet or more between the perimeter barrier and structure within the protected areas. (Inside).
PROTECTION IN DEPTH – In large open areas or ground, where fencing or walling is impracticable and
expensive, warning signs should be conspicuously placed. The depth itself is protection.
Signs and Notices – erected where necessary in the management of unauthorized ingress and preclude
accidental entry.
SECURITY LIGHTING – provides sufficient illumination to areas during hours of darkness.

PURPOSES OF SECURITY LIGHTING

1. It improves visibility so that intruders can be seen, identified and apprehend;
2. It gives psychological fear, which serves as a deterrent to thieves, pilferers, trespassers, and sabotage;
3. It makes easier. The routine of work of guards in identifying employees, vehicles during night time;
4. If placed in certain areas, may even reduce the number of stationary guards, and instead, may require only roving
patrols at night.
TYPES OF SECURITY LIGHTING
1. Stationary Luminary – most common type consisting of fixed series of luminaries. It is commonly used on entry gates
of employees and vehicles.
>Glare Protection Type – The intensity is focused to the intruder while the observer or the guard remain in comparative
darkness.
>Controlled lighting – The lighting is focused on certain objects than the background.
2. Standby Lighting – similar to continuous lighting but can be turned on manually or by special device or other
automatic means, when there is a suspicion of entry.
3. Emergency Lighting – stand by lighting which can be utilized in the event of electrical failure.
TYPES OF LIGHT LAMPS
1. Incandescent Lamps – These are common light bulbs that are found in every home. They have the advantage of
providing instant illumination when the switch is thrown and most commonly used protective lighting system
2. Gaseous –Discharge Lamp- The use of these in protective lighting is limited since it requires a period of two to five
minutes to light when they are cold and even longer period to light, when hot, after power interruption.
- It is very economical to use but for industrial security, it is not acceptable due to long time of lighting.
>Mercury Vapor Lamps – It gives a blue green color light due to the presence of mercury vapor.
>Sodium Vapor Lamp – lamps emit yellow light. It is an efficient bulb and due to its color, this light lamps
are used in areas where insect predominate. Amber color does not attract insects at night.
3. Quarts Lamp – It is a lamp that emits very bright white light and instant on almost as rapidly as the incandescent
lamp. They are frequently used at very high wattage and they are excellent for use along the perimeter barrier.
TYPES OF LIGHTING EQUIPMENT
1. Floodlights – project light in a concentrated beam. Best used in boundaries, building or fences. It is also known as
reflectorized or spotlight.
2. Searchlight – Highly focused incandescent lamps.
3. Fresnel lights – Wide beam unit, primarily to extend the illumination in long horizontal strips. It projects a narrow
horizontal beam which is approximately 180 degrees in the vertical plane.
4. Street lights – Produced diffused light rather than direction beam. They are widely used in parking areas.
PROTECTIVE ALARMS – is an aural or visual signal given by the annunciator to the security when intruder
actuate certain devices in a protected area. Basically, alarm system is designed to alert security personnel of an
attempted or consummated intrusion into an area, building or compound. Each type of alarm is activated in the event
that an intruder tamper with the circuitry, a beam or radiated waves. Alarm is also for fire, smoke, or other emergencies
and presence of hazards.
THREE BASIC PARTS OF ALARM SYSTEM
1. Sensors or Trigger device – device that can sense an abnormal condition within the system and provide
a signal indicating the presence or nature of the abnormality
2. Circuit or Transmission Line – It is the communication channel that conveys the information from all sensors in the
system to the signal by means of wire, radio waves.
3. Annunciator /Enunciator – is a visual or audible signaling device. The actual alarm may be audible or silent, a bell,
buzzer, phone ringing, or flashing of light.
TYPES OF PROTECTIVE ALARM
1. Central Station System – A type of alarm where the central station is located outside of the installation. It is a system
in which the alarm signal is relayed to remote panel located at the facilities of private owned protection Service
Company manned by its personnel. Several separate compounds tie their alarm system to a central station so that in
case of need, the central station calls for assistance to the police, fire department, hospital or with other government
assisting units.
2. Proprietary System – Similar to the central station type excepts that the proprietary console is located inside the
subscriber’s installation who owns or bases the system.
3. Auxiliary System – An installation owned system which is a direct extension of the local enforcement agency and/or
fire department by special arrangements.
4. Local Alarm System – a local alarm in which a siren or bell is sounded with no predictable response. This system is
used in residence or small establishment which cannot afford a respond system.
- Consists of rigging up a visual or audible alarm near the object to be protected.
5. Dial Alarm System – This system is set to dial a predetermined number. When the alarm is activated, the number
selected might be the police station or others. When the phone is answered, a recording voice will state that an
intrusion is in progress.
FIRE PROTECTION
FIRE ALARM - Any visual or audible signal produced by a device or system to warn the occupants of the building or
firefighting elements of the presence or danger of fire to enable them to undertake immediate action to save life and
property and to suppress the fire.
FIRE ALARM DEVICES
1. Smoke Detector – a device placed at the ceilings of the floor that detects smoke, typically as an indicator of fire.
2. Fire Bell -a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound.
AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER – a type of built in sprinklers which works by the increase of room temperature and which
automatically operates the system to put out the fire. Attached and distributed in the ceiling of the rooms. These
sprinklers will go into action once a fire starts, and those that will open are those that are directly above the fire and
water is delivered where it is needed.
STAND PIPES
G.I. steel or plastic pipes located inside the building from the lowest to the top floor with water under pressure for
use in case of fire. Located near the standpipe is a fire hose usually enclosed in a glass box.
FIRE HYDRANT – It is a mechanical device strategically located in an installation or in a street where a fire hose will be
connected so that the water will be available to extinguished a fire.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER – is a firefighting equipment which can is a firefighting equipment which can be portable or in cart
that is used to put out fire depending on the contents to extinguish certain types of fire.
CLASSES OF FIRE
1. CLASS A –- involving ordinary combustible materials such as wood, cloth, and paper, requires an extinguishing agent
which cools. A water or multi-purpose dry chemical can be used.
2. CLASS B – fires involving flammable and combustible liquids and gases, such as solvents, greases, gasoline, and
lubricating oil, require an extinguisher which removes oxygen or cuts the chain reaction. Foam, carbon dioxide, dry
chemical, are effective.
3. CLASS C – fires involve energized electrical equipment (live electrical wires, electrical appliances). A non- conducting
extinguishing agent such as carbon dioxide or multi-purpose dry chemical must be used.
4. CLASS D FIRES – the result of the combustion of certain materials in firely divided forms. These metals can be
magnesium, potassium, powdered aluminum and zinc.
HOW TO OPERATE FIRE EXTINGUISHER
If you need to use a fire extinguisher, remember the word PASS:
> PULL the pin - Fire extinguishers often have a pin, latch, or puncture lever that you need to release first.
>AIM low - Aim the nozzle or hose of the extinguisher at the base of the fire.
> SQUEEZE the handle - This release the extinguishing agent.
>SWEEP from side to side - Move in close, and sweep across the base of the fire. Watch for re-flash of the fire.
TYPES OF ALARM SYSTEM
1. Metallic Foil or Wire – It will detect any action that moves or break the foil or wire.
2. Photoelectric or Electric Eye Device – A light beam is transmitted at a frequency of several thousand vibrations per
second. It is connected by a wire to control station and when an intruder crosses the beam, he breaks the contact with
the photoelectric coil which activates the alarm
3. Audio Detection device – It is a supersensitive microphone speaker sensor that is installed in the walls, ceilings, and
floors of the protected area.
4. Vibration detection device - devices mounted on barriers and are used primarily to detect an attack on the structure
itself. When movement or vibration occurs, the unstable portion of the circuit moves and breaks the current flow, which
produces an alarm
ALARM DEVICES
1. Magnetic Door Contact -is a protective device usually placed in the door, and window that can send notification when
the opening and closure occurs
2. Passive Infrared Detector (PIR) or Motion Sensor –PIRs are able to distinguish if an infrared emitting object is present
by first learning the ambient temperature of the monitored space and then detecting a change in the temperature
caused by the presence of an object.
3. Panic button -Often located under the counter, the button can be pressed in times of distress (Such as robbery,
disruptive or threatening behavior, or a situation which may warrant assistance), triggering a silent alarm.
4. CCTV - A video monitoring system is more commonly known as Closed Circuit Television Systems. A CCTV system is a
system consisting of a television camera, video monitor, and a transmission medium (Cable, fiber or wireless) connecting
the two. It is used to monitor the premises.
IP CAMERA

Internet connection.
>IP cameras are a type of Closed-Circuit Television Camera (CCTV) used for capturing images and audio
recordings in surveillance for homes and businesses.
-The IP name stands for Internet Protocol, a system that allows the transmission of images captured by a digital
video recorder (DVR) to the end destination computers and these components together make up a video security
system.
TYPES OF BANK ALARM
1. Foot rail Activator – They are place on the floor in such a position that tellers may activate the alarm by placing the
front of their foot to foot rail to activate the alarm.
2. Knee or Thigh Buttons – It is installed inside the teller station so that they can be activated by knee or thigh pressure.
3. Foot Button – Like the foot rail, it permits alarm activation in relatively safety, while both hands remain clear in view
of the robbers.

THE EVOLUTION OF THE POLICE ORGANIZATION IN THE PHILIPPINES
The police under the Philippine settings primitively evolved from the practice of different tribes to select able- bodied
young men to protect their villages, not from the assault of criminals, but from the depredation of wild animal which
prey on their livestock.
Section 2275, Book III, Title IX, Article XI, Revised Administrative Code of the Philippines, March10, 1917, provides;
Requirements of police service or patrol duty from male residents –between the age of 18 to 55 years old to assist, for a
period not exceeding five days in any month.
November 3, 1900 – the base of police organization was approved.
January 9, 1901 – Metropolitan Police Force now known as the Manila Police District was established, its first Chief of
Police was General Arthur McArthur (father of Gen Douglas McArthur).
July 4, 1901 William H. Taft was inaugurated as the First Civil Governor of the Philippines. He felt the need of the police
force under his supervision upon assuming the responsibility of civil government.
July 18, 1901 - Act 175 was approved providing to the organization of Insular Constabulary
July 31, 1901- the MPF evolved into Manila Police Department - founded by Gov. Taft.
Capt. George Curry, a US Army officer was appointed as the First Chief of Police of Manila.
October 3, 1901 – the Insular Constabulary was changed to Philippine constabulary.
1935 - The Manila Police Department became an all Filipino organization with the appointment of Col. Antonio C. Torres
as the first Filipino Chief of Police
January 2, 1941 the Japanese forces invaded Manila Police and the Japanese military police known as the “KEMPETAI”
took the role police. The Manila Police was renamed Metropolitan Constabulary and placed under the supervision of
Japanese.
February 7, 1941, Manuel A. Roxas become the first President of the Republic. Appointed Col. Lambert T. Javalera, a
retired PC Officer, as his first Filipino Chief of Police for Manila. Thus, within the span of forty-four years from1901 to
1945, the American police system was the lifestyle of Philippine policing.
August 8, 1975 – PD 765 constituted the Integrated National Police with the Philippine Constabulary as nucleus.
August 26, 1977 - PD 1184 – Integrated National Police Personnel Professionalization law of 1977
December 13, 1990 - RA 6975 – An Act establishing the Philippine National Police under a reorganized DILG.
February 25, 1998 - RA 8551 – An Act providing the reform and reorganization of the Philippine national Police.

FOOT PATROL (URBAN PATROLLING)
Historically, Foot Patrol is the oldest form of public patrol work. It means curving of crime in neighborhood, enhancing
community partnerships and keeping officers in touch with local activity. The use of foot patrols decreased substantially
in the last century before reemerging as a community policing tool. The benefits particularly in the form of community
goodwill and improved relationships between the police and community may help to explain the recent resurgence in
this practice
Coupled with the high gas prices, foot patrol is once again being used as a community policing tool. Elements of Foot
Patrol focus on the time, location and type of crimes committed to develop strategies to decreased crime and enhanced
the quality of life in their communities. It is also an important component of the police strategies operating plan in
crime prevention in the community
SCOPE OF OPERATIONS:
1. Determine the date, time, location, type of crimes and create crime maps to aid in efficient and effective
deployment.
2. Make statistical analysis with a community survey to obtain the opinions of residents and business owners
regarding priority issues.
3. Recruit individuals that can be use as volunteer on neighborhood watch programs as mutual aid societies and as
the eyes and ears of the police. Many exist in the city and describe them as the backbone of the city’s
community crime prevention effort.
4. Gain the understanding and support of the community.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Foot patrols should be part of a proactive, integrated problem-solving strategy and not
as a reactive response to an incident. The following are the duties and responsibilities on deploying successful foot
patrol:
1. Attend the roll call formation before his Tour of Duty for briefing and likewise attend the after Tour of Duty
formation for debriefing.
2. Patrol the assigned beats, observe and check suspicious people, structures, buildings, compounds and vehicles;
3. Respond to call, entertain complains, initiate the investigation and protection of the scene and minimize the
after effects of accidents, fires and other catastrophes;
 4. Observed and monitor public gatherings, prevent disorder and dispense unlawful assembles;
5. Prevent crimes and arrest sighted law violators, assuring the public that peace is preserved;
6. Inspect and/or conduct surveillance in various places of business establishments and other installation and
removed hazards to public safety;
7. Assist personnel of responsible agencies/unit in facilitating the flow of traffic at busy intersections/roads within
his area of responsibility, assist and provide pedestrian information such as directions and street locations;
8. Conduct home visitations when circumstances warrant, dialogues with the residents in their beat;
9. Reports occurrences and conditions which relate to crime, public peace, order and safety;
10. Enforce city/municipal ordinances on liquor establishments and night clubs, cabarets and all houses of ill-
reputes;
11. Check suspicious vehicles (private, public, or commercial/delivery vehicles) along the highways in the course of
their patrol period.
12. Foot patrollers must have the equipment necessary in the performance of their duty.
Advantages of Foot Patrol
1. You can be up close and personal with the public.
2. Police visibility is a great deterrent to crimes.
3. Police presence on the street speaks of the investment being made in the safety of every resident.
4. Presence of foot Patrols contributes to a feeling of safety.
5. Foot patrollers can get places a lot faster than a car can sometimes.
Disadvantages of Foot Patrol
1. Foot patrollers can get places a lot faster than a car can sometimes.
2. It is more physically demanding
3. Lack of ability to arrest people.
4. You have to carry ALL of your equipment on you,
5. It really limits where you can go.
6. Back up is slower than if we were working in a car
BIKE PATROL
1. A Police bicycle is a land vehicle used by police departments, most commonly in the form of a mountain bicycle.
2. Bike Patrol afforded more opportunity for contact between police and the public.
3. This kind of Patrol, when used with other enforcement methods employed forms an integrated patrol system. It
is also deployed to maintain law and order and the detection and prevention of crimes.
4. The maneuverability of these vehicles on crowded sidewalks and their ability to navigate narrow, crowded
driveways offer advantages over cars, although a bicycle's top speed is lower.
History of Seattle Police Department “Bicycle Patrol
The SPD bicycle patrol unit began in the summer of 1987. Comprised of just 2 officers, the department was attracted to
the ease of movement the bicycles could provide within an urban setting. In addition, during the construction of the
Metro bus tunnel, officers needed an easier way to maneuver around downtown when responding to calls
HISTORY Of NYPD “Bicycle Patrol
Police officers adopted the bicycle early in the 20th century, initially using their own. However, they eventually became a
standard issue, particularly for police in rural areas. The Kent police purchased 20 bicycles in 1896, and by 1904 129 rural
police bicycle patrols were operating.
History of LPD “Bike Patrol”
The Lincoln Police Bike Patrol began in 1988 when Officer Mark Domangue looked for a more efficient way for foot
patrol officers to answer calls in the downtown area. A year later, the inclusion of bikes in regular patrol during second
shift made way for the conversion from a foot patrol squad to a formalized bike patrol in 1990. Bikes were donated by
area businesses and the first police bike patrol in the State of Nebraska was formed. Scope of Operations
Bike Patrol Unit” which aims to strengthen police visibility of bike patrollers with the end in view of attaining a safe place
to live, works and do business. This also aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the anti-crime efforts
through information gathering and cost efficiency as a strategy in going after the criminal elements victimizing people.
The PNP Bike Patrol Units were in full gear with Bull Cap from the head down to combat shoes with PNP Patrol Shirt and
PNP Athletic Shorts.
Equipments
1. Bicycle with equipment carry packs
2. Black Pistol Belt with complete paraphernalia
3. Side arms
4. Emergency lights
5. Bicycle helmet
6. Siren
Advantages of Bicycle Patrols
1. Bikes are less threatening than patrol vehicles:
2. Other bicyclists are more accepting of bike patrol officers: Cyclists can connect with bicycle officers on different
levels than vehicle patrol officers.
3. Bicycle patrols result in more than twice as many contacts with the public than vehicle patrols:
4. Bicycle police/security uniforms help officers to quickly transition from their traditional law enforcement duties
to more service-oriented work:
5. Perpetrators don't notice bike patrols:
6. Bike patrols can go where traditional patrol vehicles can't: One of the biggest advantages to bicycle patrol is its
ability to navigate swiftly around a campus, avoiding obstacles and hazards that would stop a patrol vehicle in
its
7. Bicycle officers can use all of their senses to detect illegal activity: tracks.
 8. Cycles have other uses: While essential for community policing initiatives, bike patrols can be integrated into
other operations and initiatives. Targeted enforcement, surveillance, traffic enforcement, and public order are
just a few ways in which bike officers can be deployed.
9. Bicycles cost much less to purchase and maintain than traditional patrol cars.
10. Bikes provide environmental and health benefits:
Disadvantages of Bicycle Patrol
1. Officers don’t have on-board video cameras like those in patrol cars;
2. Bike patrol officers covers smaller area compared with using a patrol car;
3. Response time may be delayed by road and weather conditions;
4. Bicycle is slower as compared to motorized vehicles.
5. Bicycle has no capability to load arrested suspect.
6. Easy target for the lawless elements.
REMINDERS TO THE BIKE PATROLLERS
For a safe bicycle riding, the patrol officer should check if the bicycle is in proper working order:
1. With tires properly inflated,
2. Brakes being able to stop the bicycle,
3. The steering must be working properly, and
4. The size of the bicycle must be appropriate for the rider
RECONNAISSANCE PATROL
 PATROL – is a unit sent out from a large unit. It may be acquired a mission of reconnaissance link-up, re-supply
or combat or any combination mission.
 RECONNAISANCE PATROL – is a patrol which is sent out to gather information.
TEAM COMPOSITION
 TEAM LEADER – must be an officer or the most ranking of the team. Capable of all aspect.

Buddy System – A very foundation upon which SR achieves teamwork. It is important that respect, trust and confidence
exist in the team if the team should be expected to accomplish the most hazardous mission.
Basic Arm Signal - To reserve secrecy while in mission, arm hand signal and other convenient signals are employed
during daytime when visibility becomes poor, sound signal like tapping the rifle or flicking of fingers are employed
  Signals - because of the noise and speed and confusion of the battle particularly during the assault phase, signals
for maneuver and changes of position of the team replace lengthy verbal orders.
 Maneuver Right - thrust fist repeatedly to the right.
 Maneuver Left - thrust fist repeatedly to the left.
 Frontal Attack - thrust fist repeatedly to the front individual nearest the Team Leader repeat the signal to inform
team members down the line

RP is safe or not
3. Use of password or countersign in approaching and securing the RP is stressed.
4. When team is forced to break-up and meet all the RP, as much as possible five (5) team members should go together
MOTORCYCLE PATROL
HISTORY
Police officers have used motorcycles—primarily for the enforcement of traffic laws and as escort vehicles—since the
early 20th century. Chief August Vollmer of the Berkeley Police Department is credited with organizing the first official
police motorcycle patrol in the United States in 1911. However, several police forces around the country reported using
motorcycles as patrol vehicles earlier. Harley-Davidson credits Detroit, Michigan as being the first purchaser of police
motorcycles in 1908.
The police department in Evanston, Illinois also purchased a belt-driven motorcycle for its first motorcycle police officer
in 1908. and the Portland, Oregon Police Bureau had a police officer who used his personal motorcycle to patrol the city
as early as 1909.On the other hand the British Police manufacturers themselves, Triumph motorcycles, built at
Meriden, were used by many British including the Metropolitan Police and Commonwealth police forces until 1983
Today, The Philippine National Police has organized the Motorized Anti-Street Crime Operatives (Masco) program. The
Masco Unit will patrol Manila's main thoroughfares and shopping malls to upsurge in crimes. Other Police Station and
PCPs also use scooters in Patrolling small alleys and street.
ADVANTAGES
The First Responder, in a crime scene often is the Motorcycle Patrol Officer. Its duties and function are the following:
1. Take note of his arrival at the crime scene.
2. Take immediate action and render medical assistance to the victim, if necessary.
3. Protect and secure the Crime scene by cordoning the area.
4. Locate, identify and apprehend suspects, identify Victim, Witness,
5. Preparation of Reports, and
6. Testifying in a Court Proceedings
DISADVANTAGES
1. Limited use in bad weather (Rainy Season);
2. Inability to carry and transport Police Equipment or Police Personnel.
3. The Danger and Hazard of Riding the Motorcycle
4. And another various hazard.
CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION (CCTV)
WHAT IS CCTV?
Closed Circuit Television Cameras (CCTV) are used to monitor and record images of what takes place in specific locations
in real time. The images collected are sent to a monitor and recorded on video tape or as digital information. The
cameras can be fixed or set to scan an area or they can be operated by controllers. Monitors can be watched by
controllers or left unmonitored. The recorded information can be stored and/or reviewed by those who have access to
the recordings at their convenience.
SCOPE OF OPERATION
To achieve excellence in policing, a paradigm shift from the traditional to a more scientific and modern way to prevent
the occurrence of crimes, investigation of the same, and police operations must be adopted.
ADVANTAGES
1. There is strong anecdotal evidence that CCTV aids in detection and conviction of offenders;
2. Plays a crucial role in tracing the movements of suspects or victims and is widely regarded by antiterrorist
officers as a fundamental tool in tracking terrorist suspects;
3. Detect traffic congestion and notice accidents;
4. Deter crimes in such a way that a criminal is discouraged from committing a criminal act if he knows that
someone (or something) is watching him.
5. Gives a sense of security and safety to people knowing that everything that happened at the location is
recorded;
6. It plays the role of an informant to the security firm who will take the appropriate action to stop or prevent a
crime from happening.
7. Recording of events captured which can be used in the future
DISADVANTAGES:
1. Political hostility to surveillance, making it appear that there is something sinister in the installation of the CCTV;
2. Professional installation and maintenance of high definition CCTV is expensive;
3. Creates fears of the public that cameras placed strategically will invade privacy of the ordinary citizens.
4. Vulnerable to hacking, and hoaxing via internet if com security is not strictly observed. Criminals can hack into a
facility's CCTV system to observe security measures and personnel, thereby facilitating criminal acts and proving
the technology to be counterproductive
MOTOR/MOBILE PATROL - The mobile patrol is responsible for accomplishing different police tasking and the execute
on of it shall be in conformity with the prescribed laws, decrees and ordinances in order to achieve its maximum
effectiveness particularly in the prevention of heinous crime and other form of criminality, and protection of VIP’s
ADVANTAGES
1. A larger patrol area can be covered
2. Allows officers to respond in a timely manner
3. Can handle more incidents in a shorter time period than foot patrol
DISADVANTAGES
1. Does not facilitate community interaction
2. Some crimes scenes and areas are not easily accessible by the patrol vehicle.
3. Cost associated with vehicle, fuel, maintenance, etc.
DIRECTED PATROL: Directed at specific criminal activity that is occurring in patrol areas. Officers can determine areas to
be targeted by performing good crime analysis, by knowing their patrol area, and by making observations of the people
and activity in the patrol area.
ADVANTAGES
1. Good proactive approach for intercepting crimes in progress
2. Good for responding to patterns of specific crimes that occur in the same general area.
3. Can incorporate specific patrol techniques based on the types of crimes and the geography of the targeted area.
(e.g. using bikes in areas that are not accessible by vehicle)
DISADVANTAGES
1. Difficult to sustain over long periods as it may consume resources from normal patrol operations.
2. Effectiveness maybe lost when the targeted area is geographically large
3. Effectiveness is dependent on good crime analysis
PRIMARY FOCUS FOR PATROL - The primary areas on which patrol officers should focus their patrol initiatives:
SPECIFIC AREA OF CONCERNS
1. High security facilities
2. Roads in dangerous condition
3. Vacant buildings
4. Residence halls, specifically one with known crime problems.
5. Areas where valuable equipment is maintained

BASIC FIELD PROCEDURE - Reasons for the police uniform – as with any other occupation, the police uniform is
distinctively to separate the policemen from everyone else not in the same line of work. And thereby avoid confusion
and assure others of his authority and his presence.
PATROL TACTICS AND STRATEGIES:
1. REACTIVE PATROL – An activity, which consist of driving around the district waiting to something to happened.
2. PROACTIVE PATROL - The deployment of field personnel in their respective AOR with prescribe objectives.
PREPARING FOR THE PATROL SHIFT - The officer concerned must check all the necessary equipment for patrol.
ORIENTATION AND ORIENTATION AND RESPONSE TIME TO CALLS
(Aware of their location at all time)
SELF INITIATED FIELD ACTIVITY - Patrol officers must demonstrate interest and ability to initiate patrol related activity.
Officers should learn to develop information from observed activity by being inquisitive.
PREVENTIVE PATROL TECHNIQUES - It is a patrol function to attempt to prevent crime by being seen, checking
businesses, residence halls, and other facilities and properties.
1. Patrol officer shall not to develop a set pattern of patrolling. A routine style of patrol leads to an officer safety
and crime prevention problem.
2. Remember that crimes are often those of opportunity
SHOPPING CENTER
(Never resolve problem in public)
KINDS OF INSPECTION ON PATROL
1. Building Inspection
2. Crime Prevention Follow-up
3. House Inspection
4. Miscellaneous Inspection
PATROL STRATEGIES - Patrol strategies should include not only responding to crimes reported to the agency, but also
proactive approaches to intercepting crimes in progress, surveillance activities, and crime prevention.
PATROL SUPERVISION – Keeping order in the community by insuring the effectiveness of prevention, repression and
control of criminal and delinquent behavior, traffic patrol and services re- routine call for service and emergency call for
service.

“ATTRACTIVE NUISANCE” OR PATROL HAZARDS:
1. Attractive Nuisance - is a known doctrine of law wherein an individual is said to be maintaining his premises (business
or residence) a condition, instrumentality, machine, or other agency that is dangerous to young children because of their
inability to appreciate peril, which may reasonably be expected to attract children, and the one therefore has a duty to
the children and the society in general, to exercise reasonable care to protect against the dangers of such an attraction.
2. Patrol hazards – this term is frequently used to describe a specific condition of place that requires the patrol officer’s

DISTRIBUTION OF THE PATROL FORCE - The police force is charge with framework of limitation of funds, human
resources and equipment. Selectivity of assignment and referral to other agencies seem to be the only realistic approach
to the problem of distributing the patrol force so that it may the most good. Selectivity of assignment and referral to
other agencies is the realistic approach to the problem distributing the patrol force.
Purpose of Distribution of personnel chronologically and into beat areas is intended to accomplish a number of
objectives.
The following shall be considered in the determination of distribution, to wit;
 Work Load
 Response Time-Distance
 Area Responsibility
 Crime Reporting
 Geographical Problems
SCHEDULING – is the process of determining what and how much work will be done at what time and places, including a
time table of the movement of work from one station to another, and the coordinate movement of material, supplies or
components which enter into the flow of work.
POST ASSIGNMENT - In covering patrol posts, two method of assignment are possible. One a regular post and the other
a rotate member.
SHIFT/POST ROTATION ASSIGNMENT.
JOB ROTATION – is the practice of rotating the hours of work of subordinates at periodic intervals.
FACTORS THAT DETERMINE PATROL DEPLOYMENT
1. Resident and Transient population
2. Number and types of crime and arrest
3. Location of crime and arrest
4. Traffic collision statics and patterns
DESIGNATION OF DISTRICTS The police jurisdiction may be done in the following manner:
 Divide into patrol districts that can be equitably handled by the assigned officer.
  Separate the jurisdiction into very small segment known “reporting districts” to maintain complete records on
each District.
 Group of the reporting districts into contiguous “patrol districts”.
 Assign the officers proportionate to the indicated proportionate needs of the districts.
 Frequent evaluation conference may cause fluid and frequent changes in the district boundaries to assure
maximum utilization of personnel. Gone are the days when a city or a municipality can be divided into equal
section, just as a pie cut, as a basic for work-load distribution. Police patrol involves serious strategy. The district
officers must be armed with current and valid information concerning the crime and other potential
disturbances in the respective districts and then attack each problem through a systematic patrol approach by
being at various places of patrol unpredictable and irregular times. The objective is to minimize the success of
criminals through strategy based upon knowledge and experience.
TERRITORIAL UNITS OF PATROL

Done in the start of the 8/12 hours tour of duty, its purpose is for the patrol officer to survey the condition and situation
of the boundaries of his area of responsibility.
2. COUNTER-CLOCKWISE PATTERN
This technique is simply the reverse of the clockwise pattern. This is done at the last hour of the 8/12 hours tour of duty
to ensure that nothing unusually had happened to the area of responsibility.

3. To find a wanted person.
4. To protect a witness.
5. To discover the associated, amusement and habits of an employee who has been prose for a position of
responsibility.
6. To check the loyalty of an employee in an establishment where theft have occurred.
The subject of surveillance will determine the character of the tail or shadower:
1. A loosen tail will be employed where a general impression of the subject’s habit and associate is required.
2. A rough shadowing or shadowing without special precaution may be used when the criminal must be shadowed and
he is aware of this fact; Or where the subject is a material witnesses and must be protected from other undesirable
influences.
3. A close tail or surveillance in which the precaution is taken against losing the subject where constant surveillance is
necessary.
B. DON’TS IN SHADOWING:
1. Don’t meet the eye of the subject. Doing so, tends to fix the shadower in the mind of the subject. If the subject turns
and it seems as if a face-to-face encounter will result, the shadower will look anywhere except the subject’s face.
2. Don’t adapt a slinking, sleuthing, creeping, pecking (hawk show) manner. Don’t slink in and out of the doorway, sleuth
behind the subject, creep from around parked car and peck from around corners. It is necessary, ineffectual, and above
all will attract attention.
3. Don’t wear story-book disguises, false whiskers, artificial noses, simulated effeminateness and the likes, rarely, if ever
used, are convincing when worn by an amateur and seldom convincing for any length of time even worn by a
professional make-up artist. This disguise may be good for the theatre but not for the street.

6. Don’t make notations or entries ostensibly. Strangely enough more experienced shower fails to observe this
precaution. This is to avoid suspicion of his mission.
C. PREPARATION FOR SHADOWING - Preliminary survey of the future work as surveillant must be made by the
Investigator himself to prepare himself for the contingencies that may arise.
1. If the surveillant does not know the subject, he should obtain complete description of him, or have somebody point
to him the subject.
2. He must learn the habits, haunts, and social life of the subject
3. From the information gathered, the investigator should be prepared accordingly. He should endeavor to dress and act
as thoughts he belongs to the melee in which he expect to find the subject.
4. He should comfort himself as one belonging to the neighborhood. His manner should be casual and his interest
apparently centered on matter other than the subject, Nervousness and haste should be avoided.
5. He should study the neighborhood carefully in order to become familiar with the transportation lines and the likely
pedestrian routes between points. In the events that he losses the object, the Investigator will thus be better to prepare
to pick up the tail again.
6. The subject should be identified at onset of the surveillance. Mental notes be taken of the physical description,
clothing and behavior of the subject.
D. METHOD OF SURVEILLANCE SHADOWING BY FOOT - There are several methods of shadowing by foot. The method
used will depend on the circumstances of the case.
1. One-Man Shadow - This is the most common because it involves the use of the least number of men. In this type of
surveillance, the shadower will follow the subject and making notes of all that the subject does. He will record all
contracts, description of persons encountered, places visited, time spent in various places, routes taken, etc. If the
subject enters a public lobby, the shadower shall follow, of the subject enters a telephone booth, the shadower may
take the adjoining room. He may listen to conversions, which may take in the place in the subject’s room. If the subject
takes another conveyance, the shadow will also take the same conveyance and take the seat behind the subject. If the
subject gets into a theatre line, railway ticket line and the like, the shadower will fall in line immediately behind the
subject so that he can hear the reservation or destination. If he fails to hear, he must ask the ticket agent.
2. Two-Man Shadow - This is more advantageous because it permits immediate changes and less likely to be recognized.
One shadower will follow the subject and the other may either be abreast with the subject on the opposite side of the
street, or following the first shadower.
3. Three-Man Shadow: (ABC Method of shadowing) - A, B, & C are the agents and S is the subject. A, follows closely to
the subject depending upon the volume of pedestrian traffic. He follows S at quite distance when volume of pedestrian
traffic from A as A if from S, or may precede S, or if the vehicular is moderate may be approximately opposite him on the
other side of the street. B and C takes turn in occupying the A position, thus preventing A of becoming familiar and
noticeable figure to S. Pre-arrange signal would be employed.
Advantage of ABC Method:
1. If the subject becomes suspicious of any of the operating agents, the agent concerned can quickly drop out of the
trail.
2. If subject suddenly make corner move. A may continue straight ahead, instead of hurrying to the corner and anxiously
looking for the subject. B may then cross the street then follow the subject, thus taking up the position of A. C moreover
has been in position to view any sudden disappearance into the building.
SPECIAL METHOD SURVEILLANCE:
1. Wiretapping – The telephone line is tapped somewhere along the line, either in the street line or in the telephone
company. The tapped line is run into a recorder which is monitored by the investigator.
2. Concealed microphones – The microphone may be concealed in dark room or may be disguised as a common object
such as desk ornament.
3. Tape recorder – A pocket size tape recorder may be concealed when recording a conservation.
4. Television – A closed circuit television system may be used as that the activities of the subject may be observed by the
surveillant at a distance

E. TACTICS AND TECHNIQUES IN SHADOWING:

General - The subject should be kept unaware of the shadowing operation. The investigators should be inconspicuous.
He should not be detected looking directly at the subject. Both side of the street should be used. If the subject is aware.
The trailing, the 9 agents should request for his immediate removal.
Particular:
1. Turning corners- If the subject turns a corner the surveillant should not hurry. If the subject is lost, the nature of the
neighborhood will determine the subsequent procedure. In most cases, it is preferable to lose the subject than to alert
him of the shadowing.
2. Entering a Building – if the building is a store, the surveillance should wait until the subject comes out. In building
having a number of exists, it is necessary to follow inside. If the subject enters an elevator, the surveillant should bear
the same elevator. The surveillant may tell the elevator boy that his destination is the same floor as the floor as the
subject, or may proceed to the top floor. If there are more than one surveillant, one should alight at the subject’s floor
and the other should proceed in a different direction; the latter can return to the ground floor and wait for the subject.
3. Taking the Bus – The surveillant should board the same bus, sit behind the subject and on the same bus, and on the
same side. If he misses the bus, he should hire and board the bus at a point ahead
4. Taking a Taxi – When the subject takes a taxi, or a cab, the surveillant should record the time, place and name of taxi
company and license. He should endeavor to follow in another taxi. If by means of recorded information and ascertain
the destination from the taxi.
5. Taking a Train – If the subject shows his intention of buying train ticket, the surveillant should endeavor to get in line
behind with on requested by the subject, he may buy a similar ticket. In the event that he should merely request a time
table.
6. In a Restaurant - The surveillant should follow a few minutes to elapse before following the subject, into a restaurant,
he should then take an obscure seat and arrange to finish his meal at the same time as the subject.
7. In a Motel - An inquiry can be made concerning the room of the subject. If he is registered, the surveillant can take
adjoining the room.
8. In a Telephone Booth – The surveillant should either go into the next booth or stand near enough to hear. We should
note the telephone book used and the page at which it is left open.
9. In the Theater – The surveillant should sit behind sit behind the subject and take not of the various exists which are
available.

F. RECOGNITION OF SURVEILLANT: Risks constantly incurred by a shadower:

1. The risk of being recognized as a shadower by the subject
2. risk of being “Lost” or eluded by the subject.
3. The surveillant must be prepared to take counter measure to such risk. If the subject is conscious that he is being
followed, the shadower will either desist entirely from the pursuit of his objective or render the surveillance difficult, if
not impossible. The surveillant should drop the surveillance at once and must experience care in his subsequent action.
G. TEST FOR TAILING - The common trick of the subject, when he became conscious that he is being followed or trailed
is to board a public conveyance such a bus, street car, sub-way train, and the jumping off the vehicle. The subject then
looks about quickly to determine if any other person jump off. If the shadower alights too, the subject will study him
closely to facilitate future recognition.
H. THE CONVOY - Sometimes the subject is being guarded against shadower. The “Convoy” is usually at the rear of the
subject. It may be therefore necessary for the surveillant to look out behind him to guard, the shadower must get
behind the convoy and follow him instead of the subject.
I. TAILING BY AUTOMOBILE - In tailing by automobile, two cars are more effective than one. At least two persons should
be assigned in each car. if only one car is used, it should follow the subject at a distance of operation will be greater in
highways and less in crowded traffics. If a second car is used, it should follow at an equal distance behind the first.
DISGUISING THE CAR – The following precaution must be observed in disguising the car:
License Plate – A popular type of black color car should be used and must be careful that the license plate is not
identified. This can remind by:
1. Use of security plate
 2. Use of colorum cars, or drive-it-yourself car.
3. Borrowing cars from friends.
Appearance – Various devices may be used to charge the appearance of a car, placing and removing stickers, windshield
adornments, shifting headlights from dim to bright, re-arranging the seat of occupants, etc.
TECHNIQUES - The manner of driving should be change often as by alternating between the left and right lane. If two
cars are trailing, the stopping of the subject’s car can be signaled to the second car by a sign, such as by flashing of the
light. In parking the surveillant’s car, it should be parked in the next block. A building exists and the subject’s car should
be kept under close observation. The occupant of the surveillant care should be in the back seat and remain
inconspicuous. If they will wait for considerable time, it is advisable to leave the car and walk up and down the street.
PRECAUTION TO BE OBSERVED IN TRAILING BY AUTOMOBILE:
1. Don’t stay parked on the same too long.
2. Don’t sit behind the steering wheel for an extended period. It is preferable to sit in the passenger seat.
3. Don’t use conspicuous car.
4. Don’t approach the parking position in a manner that may arouse suspicion.
5. Don’t seat both surveillant on the front seat for an extended time.
6. Don’t parked in a prohibited zone if it can be avoided since such situation attracts attention and frequency leads
to police conference.
7. Don’t be mysterious about leaving or returning to your car.
8. Don’t use credit card in the vicinity of the surveillance. If the car has some identification marks or equipment,
care should be exercised in the selection of service stations.
9. Don’t operate a short-wave radio with extensive volume.
10. Don’t held a long conference with relieving team

arrest, obtaining evidence, and forestalling plan to commit crimes.
Intelligence is said to be crucial to internal security, because it provide us with advance warning of insurgent activity. It
can provide us with detailed knowledge of the insurgent organization, its personnel, plans, and tactics. Therefore,
intelligence of the government must be superior to that of the enemy because the struggle between subversive
insurgent organization and the constituted government of a nation has sometimes been called an intelligence war.
The government must not only deny the insurgent the intelligence he needs to succeed but it must also retain positive
intelligence concerning the insurgent organization and all factions within the population in order to identify and locate
subversive elements.

Part II
POLICE RECORDS MANAGEMENT
THE CONCEPT OF RECORDS MANAGEMENT
Records are the memory of the company or the organization. They are vital and considered the working tools in
decision-making for both administration and operation of business. No organization will exist without its records,
because it provides not only the history of the organization but also contains information necessary for future actions
and decisions on which the progress of the company or organization depends.
The PNP-DPRM by virtue of R.A. 6975 ensures the proper management and care of police records.
Record refers to the information whether in its original form or otherwise including documents, signatures, seals, texts,
images, sounds, speeches or data compiled, recorded or stored, as the case may be:
1. in written form on any material;
2. on film, negative, tape or other medium so as to be capable of being reproduced; or
 3. any means of recording device or process, computer or other electronic device or process.
Record Management
- refers to the managerial activities involved with respect to the record creation, record maintenance, and use,
transmission, retention, and record disposition in order to achieve adequate and proper documentation of policies and
transactions of government for its efficient, effective and economical operation.
Cardinal Principles of Records Management
1. A record that is misplaced or misfiled is as good as lost.
2. No record that is subject to a pending audit should be destroyed, regardless of the published
destruction schedule.
3. Active records are to be kept in offices during their useful life. Inactive records are to be
transferred to some type of archives or destroyed according to the record retention schedule.
4. Records should be grouped according to the retention value and functions.
5. Information is not tangible (not real or true) until it is represented as data or recorded in a
document.
Reasons why managing government records a difficult problem
1. Large in volume
2. Accumulates rapidly
3. Must be available to a wide variety of users
4. It occupies valuable office space and crowded out office personnel.
Avoiding of losing/misplacing of records:
1. Only authorized personnel should have access to the files or records.
2. Maintain a record book for borrowers.
3. File all records properly.
4. Store records in a safe place.
5. Conduct periodic inspection and inventory.
6. Report immediately to your superior any missing or lost records.
RECORDS CYCLE
- also known as “birth-through-death cycle”
- the life span of records from creation to final disposition:

1. Birth or Creation – the period during which the record is created or comes into existence.

2.Records Maintenance and Use refers to the period when the records serve its purpose:
a. Active Life – during which the record is maintained, used and controlled
 b. Inactive Life – the time when the record is very rarely or no longer referred to and must be transferred
to a cheaper place. These records have already served their purpose but must be kept for legal
requirement or other compelling reasons.

3. Classification – records are classified for filing purposes.

4. Storage – refers to the filing of records according to classification.
5. Retrieval – the act of taking out of record from the storage for reference purposes.
6. Purging or Retention – the act of determining if the record is for retention or ready for disposal.
7. Transfer – the process of moving the record from one storage to another.
8. Archival Storage or Records Disposition – the systematic transfer of non-current records from the office to any
storage area or archives for long term storage, the identification of preservation of permanent records and the
destruction of valueless records.
CLASSIFICATION OF RECORDS
A. According to Period of Retention:
1. Permanent Record – to be kept for not less than ten (10) years
2. Semi-Permanent – to be kept for five (5) years
3. Temporary – no specified period but usually less than (5) years.
B. According to Importance or Essentiality:
1. Vital Records – are records that are irreplaceable, but can be reproduced.
2. Important Records – records that can be reproduced after considerable delay.
3. Useful Records – records that would cause inconvenience if lost but could be readily replaced.
4. Non-essential Records – records that are previously determined by retention schedule to be illegible for
destruction.
C. According to Phases of its Life Cycle
1. Current Phase (Current or Active Records) - records that are regularly used and maintained.
2. Semi-current Phase (Semi-current Records) - records that are still used but only infrequently.
3. Non-current Phase (Non-current or Inactive Records) - records that are no longer used.

2. Encyclopedic Order – the subjects are grouped into major headings; individual folders are filed in alphabetical order
behind each heading.
3. Chronological Order – folders are arranged by sequential date order. It is useful for records that are created and
monitored on a daily basis.
4. Geographical – files are arranged alphabetically by geographical name of the place.
5. Numerical – assigning of numerical value or number into a specific file which can be managed through the following
system:
a. Serial Number
b. Digit Filing
6. Centralized Filing – places all record series in one central location in an office. Most useful when the majority of
individuals within an office require access to majority of files
7. Decentralized Filing – it physically locates record series in different places within an office. Most useful when only one
individual requires access to a specific record series.

About 700 AD, the people living in England in small rural towns used the Anglo-Saxon System. Ten families in a
town (tun) equaled a tithing. Each tithing elected a leader who was known as the Tithingman. Since 10 tithings
amounted to 100, the leader of the 100 families was named the reeve. Both the tithingman and reeve were elected
officials. They possessed judicial power as well as police authority.

divisions in England are called shires. The shire-rieve had absolute powers that no one could questions his or her actions.
Two “Constabuli” or “The Keeper of the Horse” were appointed to each village to aid the Rieve in his duties. It
became the source of the word Constable.
The term “Shire-Rieve” is said to be the origin of the word “Sheriff.”
B. Travelling Judge or Circuit Judge

was later abolished about 75 years after.
D. Star Chamber Court (1487)
A special court designed to try offenders against the state. The room set-up is formed in a shape of a star and
judges were given great powers such as the power to force testimony from a defendant leading to a great abuse of
power or brutality on the part of the judges.
4. Keepers of the Peace
A proclamation issued by King Richard of England sometime in 1195 that required 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

a cornerstone of effective international law enforcement.
2. Operational Data Services and Databases for Police
INTERPOL provides operational data services and databases for police to fight international crime, police need
access to information which can assist investigations or help prevent crime. INTERPOL manages several databases,
accessible to the INTERPOL bureaus in all member countries through its I-24/7.
3. Operational Police Support Services
a. 24-Hour Support
The Command and Co-ordination Centre (CCC) operates round the clock in all of INTERPOL’s four official
languages (English, French, Spanish and Arabic) and serves as the first point of contact for any member country faced
with a crisis situation.

composed of officers from the General Secretariat and member countries can be dispatched to the scene within hours of
an event.
c. International Alert System
An important component of INTERPOL’s operational police support is the notice system, of which the Red
Notice for wanted persons is the most well known. In addition to the six color-coded notices (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow,
Black and Orange), is the INTERPOL-United Nations Special Notice issued for groups or individuals who are the targets
of UN sanctions against Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
d. Analyzing Crime Data
Criminal intelligence analysis is recognized by the law enforcement community as a valuable tool, helping to
provide timely warning of threats and operational police activities. INTERPOL contributes to investigations by assisting
officers working at the General Secretariat and in member countries with research and analysis on crime trends and with
training courses in criminal analysis techniques.
Divisions of Criminal Intelligence Analysis
a. Operational Analysis = aims to achieve a specific law enforcement outcome. Usually, it has immediate benefit
b. Strategic Analysis = provides early warning signals of threats and to support decision making in setting priorities to
deal with criminal issues

As one of the 4 INTERPOL core functions, Police Training and Development continues to evolve as a priority for
INTERPOL and member countries.
The following are channels of global bilateral and multilateral international cooperation against transnational crime:
