Common Practice and Belief
Common Practice
 Current Situation

• No standard format in developing patrol

plan or no patrol plan at all.
• Lack of thorough planning and analysis on

• Patrol man-hours are not being recorded
on a daily basis.
 Current Situation
• Patrollers and supervisors have no
accountability on assigned beat.
• Patrollers do not exercise QUAD Policing.
• QUAD Staff and other sections do not use
patrollers to disseminate information to
the public or require them to help
accomplish Station’s compliances to
Higher Headquarters (ex. Oplan Katok,
Tokhang, Bilang Boga, Etc)
 Current Situation
• Hard to determine the real or actual resources
poured in to prevent crime in a specific area
(i.e. government’s money spent to prevent
crime and maintain law and order).
• Too many personnel performing admin
functions at the station.
• No standard documentation of patrol
activities or no report at all.
• Effectiveness of deployment is not being
measured (Review and Evaluation is
neglected)
 Desired State

•New Policing Culture in the PNP

•Effective Crime Prevention Strategy
 Desired State
• Crime prevention strategy to
significantly reduce street crimes (Ex.
at least 50% by 2018).
• Standard format in developing Patrol
Plan.
• Scientific analysis of crime data.
• Systematic deployment of patrollers.
 Desired State
• Clearly defined objectives.
• Results-driven anti-crime program.
• Accountable officers and patrollers.
• Patrollers performing QUAD Policing
on the ground.
• Transparent crime prevention
strategy.
 Desired State
• Maximized police visibility on the
ground.
• Well-documented patrol activities.
• Regular conduct of Review and
Evaluation to check appropriateness
of deployment, measure
performance and gather feedback
from the community.
How to get
there?

What is the
best way?
What do criminology scholars say?

What is the backbone of policing?

 Police Patrol are considered the
backbone because they see and experience
first hand what the community is dealing with
in terms of knowing which parts of the
community are more prone to crime.
Therefore, they are able to communicate with
the rest of the organization about the problems
they face with the community and the problem
the community faces with criminals.

the backbone of any police
organization and generally, is the
first point contact for most of

request or require police services

OBJECTIVES
 Appreciate patrolling, regarded as
the BACKBONE OF POLICING, to
be the ENGINE that will generate
most of our policing outputs and
accomplishments.
 Institutionalize patrolling as a major
project under our crime prevention
program (most important core
function)

PATROL 101
OBJECTIVES
 Provide vehicle to implement our police visibility
policies:
 Push more personnel to the field by strictly observing
the 85/15 if not the 90/10 ratio in field-to-office
deployment.
 All personnel at the police stations, regardless of
their designation, must contribute to the police
visibility efforts of the station.
 Strict observance of 12/12 shifting.
 Develop a policing culture around patrolling
