Action Programs in the PNP
Personnel
1. Institutionalize the Seniority Lineal List. Promotion and placement should now be based on the SLL. Promotion and placement shall always be based on performance and merit. Palakasan or bata-bata system shall not be a basis. Seniority shall not be solely based on the date one entered the service.
2. Further reduce uniformed personnel at headquarters to 10%. Push for assignment of more personnel in the field (90%). Strengthen the NUP service to fully realize 10/90 disposition. We should develop and place in more key positions, previously held by uniformed personnel, our NUPs at headquarters.
3. All P01 's and INSPECTORs shall be in field assignments instead of being assigned in HOS or specialized units. PNCOs promoted to INSPECTORs shall be transferred out of their offices/ units and assigned to the field. Inspectors shall not be assigned as Aides de Camp. Municipal Police Stations shall be manned by no less than 20 personnel and shall at least be led by an Inspector.
4. Adoption and religious implementation of daily (and for every shift) Roll Call training at precinct and station level. This is to daily account and inspect the uniform and appearance of our personnel in the field. Also in doing this, the leadership traits of PNP junior officers and supervising PNCOs could be exercised and enhanced everyday.
5. PNP personnel who fail to qualify in the FAs Proficiency Course shall be relieved from operational duties assigned to administrative duties only.
6. Establish a separate accounting unit of HSS.
7. Provide tangible and responsive incentives to personnel: housing program, educational benefits, medical assistance, legal assistance, livelihood to deserving personnel and day care centers to motivate them to be professionals.
8. Implement the different modes of attrition starting with personnel who are medically and physically unfit for police service. Attrite PNP personnel who failed to take or have failed in 4 PFTs in the past. The organization has long accommodated these non performers and dead weights. Their attrition shall open up new quotas for recruitment of new and able personnel.
9. "Floating" officers and PNCOs shall be assigned to the Training Service and render duty as:
- AGI/ORSITE Teams
- Special Study Committees
- Special Oversight Committees
- Lecturers, trainers or administrative and management personnel
- Or take up career proficiency courses as appropriate.
Plans
1. Through legislative liaison and action, Police Officer 1 (P01), Police Officer 2 (P02) and Police Officer 3 (P03) rank titles should be changed to Patrol Officer 1 (P01), Patrol Officer 2 (P02) and Patrol Officer 3 (P03). Likewise, Senior Police Officer 1 up to Senior Police Officer 4 should be changed to Supervising Police Officer 1 up to Supervising Police Officer 4. This would truly clarify and designate the PNCO's duties and responsibilities in the police service.
2. Through legislative liaison and action, change the name of Traffic Management Group (TMG) to Highway Patrol Group.
3. Through legislative liaison and action pursue amendments to the PNP law.
Operations
1. The common "Tao" gauges the peace and order situation on street crimes. Many citizens have become victims of pickpockets, snatchers, cellphone snatchers and hold up artists. Towards this end, the PNP shall reduce street crimes by 20%. Especially for NCRPO and other city police offices, these units shall increase police visibility through a combination of fixed deployment of stations/precincts, mobile deployment of patrol vehicles, motorcycle, bicycle, beat/foot patrols and deployment of marshals in buses and MRT/LRT coaches. In essence, through our integrated patrol system, a citizen should not be further than a kilometer from the nearest police unit or personnel on patrol. Station commanders, precinct commanders shall actually spend more time in the streets supervising the men on patrol.
2. PNP motorcycles shall be used primarily in patrolling and not merely for escorting VIPs. PNP motorcycles shall not be used during weddings, birthdays and funeral as escorts, this smacks of moonlighting. Sometimes, we see the rider's wife or girlfriend "backriding' in these motorcycles which also does not project a good image.
3. TMG in its increased participation in police visibility shall patrol the highways and major thoroughfares and concentrate on anti-carnapping, anti-carjacking, anti-highway robbery, anti-hijacking, anti-drag racing and anti-fencing through regular visitation of car parts dealers. TMG shall reduce carnapping incidents at a rate of 3% per month.
4. TMG, as well as all Police Officers, shall vigorously enforce the "No Plate No Travel" and recommended proper display of L TO plate policies. Plate coverings which may make letter and numbers unreadable shall be removed by the car owner / driver himself in front of PNP personnel.
5. Designate a full time Officer to maintain and make current the PNP website. Maximize the use of existing technology ie. Wi-Fi, SMS / MMS Webcam, VOIP & CCTV
a. All NSUs, RHOs to have a working email which will be maintained 24/7. As much as possible, use email instead of FAX for a much faster, cheaper, reliable communication.
b. All NSUs, RHOs to have a SKYPE VOIP account to cut down on telephone cost.
6. Extensive use of the Criminal Information Analysis System (or COMPSTAT or crime map) in combating crime at the precinct, station and provincial or city level. Higher unit commanders with their staff shall sit down regularly with their subordinate commanders and go over their crime maps and discuss the situation and come up with actions to be taken by subordinate commanders in effectively combating crime in their area of responsibility.
- Conduct standard COMPSTAT training in all regions.
- Conduct dry run of COMPSTAT sessions in all RHOs.
- Implement COMPSTAT down to police station level.
- Publish in the PNP website regional monthly crime maps.
Intelligence - Investigation
1. Law enforcers in serving and protecting the community cannot be law breakers themselves. They should be the protectors and not oppressors at the community. There is no place for abusive behavior in the police.
2. Notoriety of corruption in the police force is brought about by kotong cops. Through our internal reform program, we shall punish, stop and rid the organization of misfits, scalawags and kotong cops (mulcting, extorting, hulidap, case fixing/areglo or policemen simply asking for money (Iagay) in return or in exchange for police service). Some personnel of PNP at checkpoints, licensing, fixers for no show requirements,
investigative and traffic enforcement units are notorious in this bad practice. We shall utilize the media and the citizens to report wrong doers. We shall enhance the organization's complaints, grievance and accountability system.
3. Some PNP personnel use recovered carnapped vehicles. PNP personnel shall not use recovered carnapped vehicles or vehicles submitted as evidence. The policy and its penalties on this malpractice shall be fully enforced and sanctions shall be given to those caught violating this policy.
Investigation, AIDSOTF
1. Revitalize and properly support AIDSOTF/RAIDSOTF and other anti-drug operating units in the provincial/district and station levels.
2. Adoption and implementation of the DARE program to combat drug abuse. This is to attend to the prevention side of the anti-drug effort on educating elementary grade students and other sectors of the community on the ill effects of dangerous drugs.
3. Strict adherence to Anti-Drug operational procedures. This include the filing of pre-ops reports, limiting the time before operations are reported, confiscated drug tested and criminal charges filed.
4. Illegal arrest, illegal detention, hulidap, "Bangketa/areglo" or case fixing, recycling of confiscated drugs shall be dealt with severely. Anti drug operatives shall not peddle drugs themselves. Planting of evidence shall be severely dealt with also.
5. AIDSOTF and all anti-drug operating units shall increase the volume of drug related arrest by 3% per month.
6. Continuous drug testing on PNP personnel. Those found positive should be immediately removed from the service.
Investigation-Computer Service
1. We shall upgrade information technology. PNP operations is hampered because of the PNP's inability to access and process vital information in order for it to do its mandated functions. Databases of the different PNP units shall be established. Warrant of Arrest Registry, Automated Fingerprint Identification System, Vehicle Identification Management System, National Crime Information System, etc. After building up these data bases the inter-unit connectivity shall be done. There shall be an active and continuing effort to finally link the different PNP units. Computer systems already found in the various PNP units shall be linked to access, process and disseminate vital information. We shall start small and grow big instead of thinking big and in the process get bogged down by the staggering figure of such a grandiose plan.
Logistics
1. The PNP lacks about 21,000 short firearms for its personnel. There are PNP personnel with double or multiple issuances of firearms in a unit or several units. These shall be recalled and issued to those without firearms. As a general rule, a Police personnel shall have only one issued FA, either long or short. In the event that a PNP personnel has an issued FA and he also has a licensed FA (cross check with FED), the issued FA shall be recalled and issued to those without FA. In the meantime that there is a FAs shortage, firearms of personnel assigned at NHO and in administrative NSUs, Regional Headquarters shall be recalled and issued to personnel assigned in operating units. Likewise, PNP personnel who fail to qualify in the FAs proficiency course shall have their issued FAs recalled immediately for subsequent issuance to qualified personnel.
2. Recall M16 rifles and other high powered FAs in high risk/isolated police stations and replace them with shotguns.
3. Recall all M16 rifles and other high powered FAs from NCRPO police station personnel. Replace them with shotguns. Only RSAU, DSRU and SWAT units shall be authorized to have HPFA.
4. Refurbish unserviceable M 14 and M 16 rifles on stock at LSS and other PNP units.
5. Putting up of uniform, standardized and lighted panaflex "PULIS" signages nationwide in all police HOS, offices, stations and precincts for easy identification and location by the citizens.
6. Offices shall be clean and citizen friendly. Commanders shall ensure that bathrooms and toilets are not only clean but also smell clean. Pornographic materials, (pin ups or calendars) shall be removed.
7. We shall save gas. Gasoline and diesel shall be for PNP use only. The alleged practice of giving retired PNP personnel and other unauthorized personnel gasoline shall be stopped. Gasoline previously being given away to these unauthorized persons shall be instead given to our police stations whose gasoline allocation is very inadequate. The use of fleet cards shall be implemented.
8. Ensure that all PNP vehicles have plate numbers on them.
9. Push more logistical resources to the field.
Police Community Relations
1. Conduct a sustained moral and spiritual recovery program along the teachings of "Purpose Driven Life" that is initiated and led from the top to reach down to the bottom. There shall be a strict adherence through the values and leadership program of the PNP ethical doctrine. The majority of the personnel of the organization shall internalize and practice these doctrines.
2. Effectively use text PNP 2920 and establish "Police Volunteer 10 / Ireport Mo Kay Tsip" so that the public can reach the CPNP himself and PNP commanders at all levels through cellphone, text or e-mail.The PNP shall give feedback to complaints filed by the citizenry.
3. We shall implement fully the components of the Community Oriented Policing System (COPS) to fully harness the cooperation and support of the community in a united front campaign against crime. Pulong-pulong at all levels in the PNP with various sectors (political groups, youth, women, labor, transport, religious, etc.) shall be undertaken, reported and measured regularly. Establish the citizen friendly PNP service desk in all stations/offices.
4. Reactivate the Church Military-Police Liaison Committee (CMLC).
Plans
1. PNP limited funds are further depleted by contributions and donations to many fund raising activities. Solicitations for golf and other fund raising activities shall be discouraged if it cannot be totally stopped. Invariably, donations, contributions to these activities are at times drawn from public funds. These are funds which could properly be used to further support the PNP operations.
2. The PNP spends so much on PNP Anniversaries. Make the anniversary celebrations more simple and more frugal. The funds saved shall be used to support PNP operations.
3. Considering the limited funds of the PNp, the organization shall at every opportunity cut cost. An example is the unnecessary and excessive breakfast and merienda in conferences. Staff officers at NHQ average 2-3 conferences a day. That's 2-3 meriendas a day from conferences alone. Personnel tend to overeat. Conferences that are called during office hours (0800 AM onwards) need not serve breakfast. It should be assumed that attendees already had breakfast in their homes before going to work. Amenities in conferences and calls should only be limited to plain coffee and very simple merienda. The savings that would be generated shall be given to the police stations to increase their MOOE.
4. P01 s for their first year of service shall not be allowed to apply for loan.
5. Push more financial resources to the field.
Education and Training
1. Education and training shall be a vital and regular activity. PNP personnel shall be technically proficient in their field of work.
2. Education on the respect for human rights and international humanitarian law shall be given to all personnel on a regular basis.
3. PNP personnel lack proficiency in the handling and use of their firearm. There shall be a continuous training program/dry firing and actual firing so that PNP personnel could qualify as marksmen. ROs/ 0, NSUs to ensure the procurement of reloaded training ammunition. Shotgun proficiency training shall also be given importance. Likewise, for special units like SWAT, further training should be given on the handling and use of the rifle.
