 ORGANIZATION

it is defined as the arrangement of separate elements, such as personnel or

group of employees, into a structure through which authority and
responsibility may be distributed. It is a form of human association for the
attainment of a goal or objective. It is the process of identifying and
grouping the work to be performed, defining and delegating authority
establishing relationships for the purpose of enabling people work
effectively

Police organization is a group of trained personnel in the field

of public safety administration engaged in the achievement of
goals and objectives that promotes the maintenance of crimes.
 ORGANIZATION

1. Formal Organization- is defined as those

organizations that are formally established for explicit
purpose of achieving certain goals. (Stable social
institutions.)

2. Informal Organization - are those sharing the basic

characteristic of all organizations arise through the
social interactions of individuals or through family
grouping.
TYPES OF POLICE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURES:
 
An organizational structure is a mechanical means of depicting, by an arrangement of symbols, the
relationships that exist between individuals, groups and functional relationships between groups and individuals
clearly defined to ensure accountability and compliance.
 
 
LINE ORGANIZATION – the straight line organization, often called the individual, military or departmental type of
organization, is the simplest and perhaps the oldest type; but it is seldom encountered in its channels of authority and
responsibility extends in a direct line from top to bottom within the structures, authority is definite and result.

FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION – the functional organization in its pure form is rarely found in present day organizations,
except at or near the top of the very large organizations. Unlike the line type of structure, those establishments organized on a
functional basis violate the prime rule that men perform best when they have but ONE SUPERIOR.
Coordination of effort in this type of organization becomes difficult since the employees responsible for results may be subject
to functional direction of several persons.
Discipline is difficult to administer because of this multi-headed leadership.
There may be considerable conflict among the functional administrators, resulting in much confusion.
 
LINE AND STAFF ORGANIZATION - the Line and Staff organization is a combination of the line and functional types. It
combines staff specialist such as the criminalists, the training officers, and the research and development specialists.
Channels of responsibility is to “think and provide expertise” for the line units.
Distinction of Police Management from Police Administration –

Management is personnel administration as it is the development of

people and not of objects. It means getting the cooperation and
coordination of human beings so as to obtain effective results with
people. It denotes function that directs and guides the activities of the
personnel of an organization in the realization of both policies and
objectives.

Administration on the other hand, is the function that determines the

basic policies and objectives of an organization and the means to be
employed to achieve them.
 TYPES AND FORMS OF LEADERSHIP
 
AUTHORITARIAN (AUTOCRATIC) – provides clear expectations for what needs to be done, when it
should be done, and how it should be done. There is also a clear division between the leader and the
followers. They make decisions independently with little or no input from the rest of the group.
Authoritarian leadership is best applied to situations where there is little time for group decision-making
or where the leader is the most knowledgeable member of the group.

DELEGATIVE (LAISSEZ –FAIRE) – offers little or no guidance to group members and leave decision-making
up to group members. While this style can be effective in situations where group members are highly
qualified in an area of expertise, it often leads to poorly defined roles and a lack of motivation.

PARTICIPATIVE LEADERSHIP (DEMOCRATIC) – is generally the most effective leadership style. They
encourage group members to participate, but retain the final say over the decision-making process.
Goals and Objectives distinguished

Objectives are a specific commitment to achieve a

measurable result within a specific period of time.
Goals are general statement of intention and typically
with time horizon or it is an achievable end state that
can be measured and observed. Making choices about
goals is one of the most important aspects of planning.
EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVITY
DISTINGUISHED
 
Being EFFICIENT means “doing things
right” while being an EFFECTIVE means
“doing the right things”.
Administration of Police Organization - It is the systematic structure of management of a
police organization.

 ANCIENT LAW ENFORCEMENT
The Sumerians

The earliest record of ancient peoples need to standardize rules and methods of enforcement to control human
behavior dates to approximately 2300 B.C., when the Sumerian rulers Lipithstar and Eshumma set standards
on what constituted an offense against society.

The Babylonians

The Code of King Hammurabi (2100 B.C.) –during the time of Babylonian King Hammurabi, he established
rules for his kingdom that designated not only offenses but punishment as well. The principle of the code was
that the strong shall not injure the week. Hammurabi originated the legal principle of LEX Talionis- the eye for
an eye, tooth for a tooth doctrine.
Ancient Egypt

The early Egyptians established laws and court and a rudimentary rule of law. The first account of a
developing court system originated in Egypt in approximately 1500 B.C. the court system was
presided by judges who were appointed by the pharaoh. They later organized marine patrols and
customhouses to protect commerce.

Ancient Greece

The Greeks had an impressive of law enforcement called the Ephori. Each year at Sparta, a body of
Ephors was elected and given almost unlimited powers as investigator, judge, jury and executioner.
These five menalso presided over the senate and assembly, assuring that their rules and decrees
were followed. From the Greek philosopher PLATO, who lived from 427 to347 B.C., was the idea
that punishment should serve the purpose rather than simple retaliation.
Ancient Rome

The Romans had a high development system of administering justice. The 12Tabulae (12
tables) were the first written laws of the Roman Empire. It deals with legal procedures,
property ownership, building codes, marriage customs and punishment for crimes. At the reign
of Emperor Augustus, he created the Praetorian Guard, which consisted of about 7000
men\soldiers to protect the palace and the City of Rome, together with the Urban Cohorts to
patrol the city. He created the so called Vigiles who were assigned as firefighters and
eventually given law enforcement responsibilities. As the first civilian police force the
Vigiles sometimes kept the peace very ruthlessly, hence the word vigilantes. Another
important event was the time of Justinian, ruler of the Eastern Roman Empire (527 to 265
A.D.) who collected all Roman laws and put it into his Justinian Code-they became known
the Corpus Juris Civilis which means Body of Law.
 The Early Policing System

The policing system is divided into different systems namely:

The Anglo-Saxon Period

The Anglo-Saxons were influential in developing the early police forces. The following are the features of this
period:

1. Tun Policing System- Tun is the forerunner of the word town. Under this system all male residents are
required to guard the town and to preserve the peace and control, to protect life and property from harm or
disturbance.

2. Hue and Cry - a system of apprehending a criminal whereby a complaint goes to the middle of the street
and shouts to call all males to assemble. The victim reports his complaint to the assembly and gives the
whereabouts of the perpetrator. All male residents would then proceed to locate and apprehend the culprit.
When apprehended, trial is conducted giving the culprit a chance to depend himself.

3. The Royal Jude -a person who conducts criminal investigation and gives punishment. Punishment usually
fits the crime committed.

4. Trial by Ordeal- a system of determining guilt and innocence in the ancient times which was based on
painful test of skills. It is usually accompanied by harsh punishment. For instance, suspects were required to
place their hands in boiling oil or water. When not hurt, it indicated guilt and the suspect placed under
punishment.
The Normal Period of Policing (1066-1285)

1. Shire-Rieve System- England at the time of William Norman, divided England into 55military districts known as the
Shire-Rieve. Shire was the district, Rieve was the ruler who makes laws, pass judgment and impose punishment. He was
assisted by a constable (forerunner of the word constabulary).

2. The Traveling Judge- one responsible in passing judgment which was taken from the Shire-Rieve in view of some abuses
by the Rieves.

3. Leges Henri -the law of King Henrie I. During this period:

a. offenses were classified as against the king and individual
b. police men were considered public officials
c. police and the citizens have the broad power to arrest
d. a grand jury was created to inquire on the facts of the law.

4. The Magna-Carta- laws were enacted upon the demand of the Knights of the Round Table and forced the king to sign
the same. Examples of the principles of law include the following:
a. no free men shall be taken or imprisoned, disposed or outlawed except by legal judgment of his peers
b. no person should be tried from murder unless there is proof the body of the victim
c. Beginning of the national and local government as well as legislation.
 The Westminster Period of Policing (1285-1500)

1. The Statute of 1295- this law prescribed the closing of

the gates of London at sundown. Start of curfew systems.

2. Justice of the Peace - this was position which gives a

person the power to arrest, pursue and impose
imprisonment.

3. The Star Chamber court - a special court which try

offenses against the state.
