COMMUNITY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT IN THE PNP: AN

ANALYSIS PAPER
In the past, almost all of the PNP leadership did their best to create their own
identity as their legacy. There were very few who opted to continue what their
predecessor did. The PNP has a lot of Community Program Development in place.
In fact this is one the focus projects of all units of the organization. The purpose of it
is to create a more a decentralized approach to reducing crime, maintaining peace
and order, encouraging active involvement of the community and/or stakeholders, by
involving the same police officer in his own community within his AOR on a long term
basis, so people will regain and develop trust to the police.
The PNP plays an important role in the development and progress of the
community. Peace and order in the community translates to a sense of a shared
feeling of security among the citizens. People who have this sense of security are
more likely to participate in community activities that aim to improve the livelihood
and well-being of all. Community engagement is necessary for the community to
take part in achieving sustainable outcomes, equitable decision-making processes,
and strengthening relationships and trust between the government and the people.
I would to cite an example, PRO CALABARZON crafted a program to combat

the menace of crime and illegal drugs at the local level utilizing some concepts in
“Alsa Masa” which started in Davao City and in “Masa Masid” of DILG. In this anti-
crime program, citizens will be empowered to participate in eliminating drugs and
crime at the barangay level by helping the police gather intelligence and information
and conduct necessary community interventions.
As what Sir Robert Peel said, “The Community is the Police and the Police is
the Community,” maintenance of peace and order is always a shared responsibility
between the people and the police. Thus, community mobilization is important
because each member is ultimately responsible for and affected by situations of
safety and security. Conversely, if the community is not mobilized, the ideas and
initiatives put forward by the police for crime prevention will not prosper.
PRO CALABARZON in partnership with other concerned agencies aims to

mobilize the CALABARZON communities and establish a strong and sustainable
community defense system against lawlessness and criminality by eliminating one or
more elements of crime: motive; instrumentality; and opportunity.
In this program, community was organized into household clusters, educating

them of matters of importance to prevent crime, empowering them with the conduct
of different trainings to enhance their skills and certifying barangay units who have
exerted outmost efforts to mobilize their communities in maintaining peace and order
and promoting public safety.
PRO CALABARZON identified three major concerns to be addressed: the
ongoing aggressive campaign against illegal drugs and criminality; the threat of
terrorism; and the perennial lack of capacity of communities to deal with disasters,
hence, the Whole-of-Government Approach and the Principle of Reciprocal
Responsibility needs to be strengthened.
PNP has implemented numerous programs and activities but still have
overlooked the worsening problem at the grassroots level, that PNP alone cannot
improve the peace and order situation without the participation and support of the
community. This project supports the Unit Scorecard Objectives of “developing a
mobilized and satisfied community with high respect and trust”, and “promoting a
responsive and sustainable community safety awareness”.The culture of nationalism
and patriotism shall be strengthened to promote involvement in crime prevention and
public safety resulting in the establishment of Barangay Defense System.
This endeavor will contribute to the increase in the number of joint police-
community initiated activities and in developing a harmonious working relationship
with the different stakeholders of the community contributing to the Units Vision of
enjoying peaceful communities conducive to economic and social development for
the well-being and happiness of the people. Pulis sa Barangays will serve as liaison
and supervisors in their respective barangays in the conduct of this project.
Under the Whole-of-Nation Approach, all the participating government

agencies/units with the supervision of PRO CALABARZON and Regional DILG
Office shall execute activities, programs and operations to implement Community
Mobilization Project.
