II. PURPOSE
This Organization plan aims to generate community partnerships and forge a united front for the promotion of peace and
order.
it is designated to unify and homonize the efforts of all PCR units and to encourage broad networking, coordination and
integration of all related undertakings within the PNP, LGUs, various sectoral groups and people’s organizations.

III. SITUATION

Active Community support is essential to the success of PNP oprations. More than anyone else, the people in the community are
aware if their problems .they often know what is happening
LEA 4.
To their neighbors . They are more concerned about these things because of the impact it may
have on their lives. Hence, the police can use this feeling of concern in the prevention of crime
and its solution
when its occurs acknowledging that the community is a virtual minefield of information, it
would be advantageous for the PNP to channel it to the attainment of the ends of law
enforcement. On the other hand, one of the constraints of the community is the lack of
knowledge on how to relay information to the authorities and make it useful. This is aggravated
by the fear of reprisal from criminal syndicates the PNP therefore needs to lay down the
groundwork so that the community can be mobilized for the maintenance of peace and order.
One of the actions to be taken must be to organize the community in around empower them for
the promotion of peace and older in their area. The organized community then becomes the
source of strength to overcome any kind of fear from elements who disturb the peace .when
they are so organized they can form the united front against crime and thus become the first line
to defense against any threat.
LEA 3
However, to be able to realize this objective , the PNP must take the role as the pace setter in this effort. Policemen on the
streets must take the lead role. Necessarily , they must capitalize on the “intrinsic goodwill must not be abused but
nurtured by the establishment of s friendly and trusting relationship. It should be the objective of every PNP member to
“win a friend “ everyday. The strength is fostered by adhering to the Motto of Sambayan: “Magakaibigan at Magkasama sa
Hirap at Ginhawa”and to make it an everyday effort. This established and strengthen goodwill then becomes the capital to
organize communities and empower them towards the promotion of peace and order. Among other things ‘ these
organized communities become force multipliers bridging the gaps in police strength . Experience would show that the
community when properly organized even bridges the constraints in material resources from political and economic leaders
to aid in PNP operations .
The organizational efforts would be challenging . In order to hurdle the challenges , the PNP needs to form linkages with
national government agencies.
LGU’s and civic oriented organizations. These linkages shall pave the way for directing the organized communities towards
contributing to the creation of a tourist friendly atmosphere. This is expected to pave the way for the influx of tourist to the
country. Knowing all these potentilas in the community; the PNP then has to adhere
To the COPS philosophy in order to establish the congruence between the reality of police actions to the message of
friendship that it foist on the people. Using this philosophy, the individual police validates goodwill and enhances
credibility , and paves the way for the easy oraganizational effort. It is believed , and several studies would point to this
evidence , that countries with high levels of organized communities are more
LEA 3
Progressive, and more discipline. It is thus that the O.N.E PNP shall engage in the effort of organizing in order to form a network of
Strong Communities as the nucleus of a STRONG- PUBLIC.

V. EXECUTION.
The primary weakness of the law enforcement pillar in suppressing criminality can be traced to its weak bond with – the community pillar; giving the
notion that the Police is perceived to be isolated in their offices and worse, are not familiar with the key personalities in their AOR. Cognizant of these
constraints which deter the success of an effective shared responsibility there is the need to orchestrate the organization of individuals and institutions to
build a united front against criminality and other threats to peace and order.

A. Strategic Concept
This organization Plan is designed to pave the way for the establishment of a united front against criminality and other threats to peace and order . This
united front which shall be composed of different sectors , shall serve as the force multiplier of the PNP in its contuing effort to harness the community i” its
campaign against all forms of criminality

1. Neighborhood Partnership [ D.N.E. Program of Action ]

The ONE PNP program focuses on people – driven efforts because the people know best what their needs and priorities are. Neighborhood
partnerships shall be developed and nurtured for there is no tool more powerful in the fight against criminality and other threats to national security than
the support and confidence of every member of the community. Strong neighborhood partnerships shall be developed through the enhancement of the
Community – Oriented Policing System (COPS) in all police units as its philosophy nationwide. A strong COPS program is crucial in making the presence of
the police more strongly felt in the communities, which is an important factor in effectively forging closer neighbirhood partnerships.

2. United Front Against Criminality

The PNP shat! Develop a united front , composed of the different sectors of the community , which shall serve as its force multiplier in the fight
against all forms of criminality. Considering the limited resources of the police force, especially in terms of manpower, the development of various groups
such as the barangays. Security guards and other sectors as partners of the PNP shall serve to further boost its anti- crime efforts.
LEA 4
B. Operational Concept
This Plan sets forth the general guidelines and concepts that will serve as a guide for the PNP in the conduct of an organization Campaign
program designed to forge a strong PNP – community partnership. To effectively carry out this plan, the PNP shall utilize the AOM concept ,
which involves three phases namely: Awareness and Education , Organizing Community and Mobilizing Communication . Furthermore. It shall
involve a sustained alliance building effort. Tapping the various sectors of the community and strengthening all linkages with the LGUs and NGOs
and other community movers – who can effectively support and contribute to the achievement of the PNP’s anti- crime objectives.

To be able to actualize this desired parthnership ; there must be congruence what the PNP says is its philosophy , and the real actions its
personnel do in the streets. Its is imperative therefore that the PNP must look inward and identify retardants to the successful implementation of
this PCR plan.

the problem of criminality is a shared responsibility between the community and the police . The effort shall , at the same , aim to generate or

agencies , non- government organizations and other people organizations will be developed and enhanced.
