CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
Background of the study
The rising rate of the criminality in a given community is a worldwide
phenomenon. As reported in daily news and publication serious crimes and
property crimes is an exceptionally severe problem for the majority of the
nations of the world. As the world changes (Pandemic), the challenges facing
by Police officers are made more difficult it is quite alarming for them to
perform the best they can due to additional teeth of problem in the
community and noticeable absence of specialize training and insufficient
fund. Thus, our Police agency today reinvented and modernized a policing
system to counterbalance the fast changing communities. Taking cognizance
upon crimes and new challenges aforementioned it lead to a recognition
internationality and locally that the demand for effectiveness of a Police is a
broad range of issues nowadays for community safety.
According to Larson et.al (2008) in their study they found out that law
enforcement agencies are entrusted with the protection and safety of society.
They are often faced with task that are tedious and time consuming. In our
changing society, the police are expected to be involved in both the
apprehension of criminals and in the reduction of crime through a
relationship with the society they serve. There are many views how to
prevent crime and what makes a community safe. This is the strategy of
municipal policy making and implementation. Include increased policing to
create a safer community. This shows the shift in mindset-from the belief in
“Policing” as the answer to community safety issues to a broader

understanding of the full spectrum approach necessary to address
community safety issues over time. (Wilson et al, 2016)
A number of studies revealed that the community safety reflecting upon the
effective proactive measures of police as the forefront of keeping peace and
order and protector against lawless forces. It is based on the lowest crime
rate of a certain place because prevention and protection of the public are
their primary function. Way back before the police officers are tagged
effective for the public safety when they repressed a large amount of
criminals brought into custody or precinct. Researchers continue to
undertake this study because we want to be able to determine the
effectiveness of Police for public safety while societal condition changes. In
addition, Researchers focuses solely to know what their measures are to
prevent crimes, injury, violence and during natural disasters also what
cooperation will be supplemented in order that the officers will be
successfully maintain their duties and to satisfy the community safety
despite of crisis that we have.
Ascertaining the effectiveness of Police and to build safety for community are
the goal of this study because it is essential if efficient crime reduction and
quality of service are concerned. When there is a good quality of police
service , policemen have a better understanding of the public's concern
especially those that are crime related, and citizens are more inclined to
report crimes that occur into the policemen. They have no tendency to be
complacent and fatalistic such that they shall do something even before they
victimized by crime because community be aware of policies imposed by our

government and to inculcate in their mind that crime is everybody’s
concern.
The better quality of police with the community against in lawless forces, the
more trust the community has in their police.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter present the literature that has bearing to the present study.
This gave the researchers broader perspective which aid them in
conceptualizing and understanding the study of Effectiveness of Police
Officer for Community Safety. The literature and studies cited will help the
researchers in the interpretation of findings.
The international centre for the prevention of crimes defines community
safety prevention as a more positive way of conceptualizing crime
prevention, noting an international policy shift from the “the relatively
narrow focus on crime prevention to the broader issue of community safety
and security as a public good” (2000) In contrast, the World Health
Organization (WHO) collaborating centre for community safety, based on
Karolinska Institute in Sweden for over 20 years, defines community safety
as injury prevention, including violence, suicide, and natural disaster, where
action led by the community (WHO Collaborating centre 2006).
Republic Act no. 6975 is an act establishing the Philippine National Police
under the Department of Interior Local Government (DILG) was also the
nativity of police and community relation program which to give the best
service towards the community. The objective of this program is to give

solution to the problems existed in the community which might be a
problem or barrier between the PNP and the community.
In the INP Manual (1976) police effectiveness depends largely upon public
support based on the faith of the people in their police. To assure the
maximum efficiency, the police shall endeavour to gain public support by
conducting massive and sustained activities in the field of good community
relations.
Levinson (2004), stated that “the patrol exercise is not only limited to crime
control but also to reduce the fear within neighbourhood.” This builds
stronger relationship between police and community and with the resident
trust. Therefore patrolling is one way of securing, protecting, preserving the
life and property and assuring the safety of the people in the community.
Manwong and Foronda (2009) in their book emphasize the relationship of
the police and the community established and maintained through police
community cooperation. The police enlist the support of the community to
prevent the commission of crime, to eradicate drugs, and to arrest suspects
and criminals. The prompt solution of crime and the immediate arrest of
criminals are achieved through strong and police-community partnership.
The establishment of community based anti-crime groups in the locality
through police community partnership helps enhanced and sustained public
safety undertakings.
According to the police community relations manual (2012), emphasize that
partnership with the community will be a central focus. Police managers will
recognize the interconnectedness between their activities and those for other
public services, such as housing, welfare and employment agencies. The

police of the future will view themselves as one part of community-wide
effort to not only deal with crime but to improve life in general.
Hence, Abat (2013) in Davao City, the police station is increasing police
visibility in communities to reduce the number of crimes. Most of police are
outside for advocacy program and to maximize visibility. The patrol are the
foot more the community safety, this way they could easily established
connection with the community against criminal acts. Policemen also
conduct house-to-house in villages for their responsibilities to maintain
safety.
Therefore, safety is a freedom from harm or danger and the state of
being which every person assures in the place they were living and for their
daily lives. People need to feel safe at all times under any circumstances. It
does not matter if you are at home, at work or at school, travelling at social
event in desperate of emergency assistance.
Foreign Literature
Random preventive police strategies are based on the idea that visible police
presence in an over provided a general deterrent effect on crime and that
subsequently the general public fear of crimes is reduced by the same police
present. It would be expected, as a result that crime that would normally
take the place in fairly public areas, such as general property offenses or
street crimes; would be more significantly imported by prevented patrolling
practices. Patrolling the utilization of police resources for random preventive
patrol activities. However in effective at determining crime and apprehending
offenders research suggested that preventive activities in strategic zone

where the majority crimes occur. Goals are utilized as far more in reducing
crime (Sherman and weisburd, 1995)
The police officer in community safety took place in Kansas City, Missouri in
1972-1973, this city patrol experiment took place within fifteen beats, eat
peat assigned in proactive group where preventive patrols increased a
control group where no city experiment in order to understand why general
finding that preventive patrol activities appeared to no significant impact
cannot be taken at face value perhaps. More importantly, the areas
designated as react beats receive significant visible police presence through
responses to service calls, routine operations of specialized units, and
patrolled-initiated activities such as building and stopping motorist for
traffic violation.
Further, as a result using multiple patrol unit dispatch a response to call for
source in the reactive groups, and coupled with an increased use of
emergency light and sirens, there was no diminished public awareness of a
police presence in this area.
In police service, public relation and community dealings are very
important to maintain public safety. According to Canfield and Moore (1973)
public relation was born in the early years of the 20 th century in the United
States of America. It shows that people’s view has long been recognized and
with such recognition, there came about response practices. These practices
become what are now called public relation.
Kappeler and Gaines (2012) introduces the Ten Principles of Community
Policing. Community policing is a philosophy and organizational model that
broadens the traditional police duty of combating crime to include creating

partnerships with citizens and encouraging mutual support and
engagement. It also introduces this progressive approach, as well as the
most recent developments in the field, such as how the current climate of
suspicion associated with terrorism threats affects the trust required for
community policing, and how the latest technologies can be used to
facilitate police interactions with citizens. It also investigates the
fragmentation of authority and underlines the significance of collaboration
among the numerous police enforcement, government, and commercial
social care agencies.
The book of Hunter and Barker (2010) emphasized the role citizen
participation and emphasizes why it is critical to the effectiveness of the
criminal justice system. It emphasizes the significance and tactics for
effective police-community interactions, and it addresses the police service's
internal and external communities. It also highlights the multidisciplinary
approach, which draws data and conversations from a variety of disciplines
and provides a well-rounded viewpoint for a better understanding and
practice of constructive police-community interactions.
According to Levinson (2004), the patrol exercise is intended not only to
reduce crime but also to eliminate fear in the neighbourhood. This
strengthens the interaction between the police and the community while
also gaining the trust of the residents. As a result, patrolling is one method
of securing, protecting, and preserving life and property, as well as ensuring
the safety of the people in the community. Moreover having officers would
not only make the nightlife environment safer for everyone, but it would also
provide some peace of mind to the business owners in the whole area.
(Fazzini, 2003). The primary argument is that by providing a more
participatory management style in which leadership is essential, officers feel
more involved in the mission and goals of the department. As a result,
morale increases and is reflected within the community and the ability to
develop effective police community relations.
Local Studies
According to Jacob (2011), the Philippine National Police is continuing its
efforts to improve basic police services through a more effective crime
prevention program anchored on police community relationships, which will
more likely reveal how responsive the two-way communication between the
police and the community can be firmly established with the end goal of
achieving better outcomes.
The study also on police community relations and efficacy of the PNP in the
Province of Ilocos Norte by Joaquin (2005) found that the effectiveness of the
police force is dependent on the training and technology available in the
organization. It is critical to enhance police morale by offering them due
respect and equitable treatment in terms of privileges and possibilities.
While on the subject of police-community relations, the chief of police and
members of the local police force must form a strong relationship to
encourage community participation in order to improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of the policing system.
Also, Tuando (2003) conducted research in the province of Siquijor on the
impact of police-community partnerships on crime rates. The role of law
enforcement and police administration was emphasized heavily in order to

ensure community engagement in all of the initiatives run by local police
authorities. The importance of community cooperation is critical for forming
partnerships and reducing and resolving crime.
Based on the study of Hodalgo (2008), inhabitants of Lucena City had no
concerns with the PCR Programs being implemented by the Lucena City
Police Department. It was reinforced by data acquired on the extent of PCR
Program implementation, which was assessed as implementation and the
police officers of the Lucena City PNP did an excellent job in the community
they serve.
Foreign Studies
Larson et. al (2008) in their study they found out that law enforcement
agencies are entrusted with the protection and safety of society. They are
often faced with tasks that are tedious and time consuming. In our changing
society, the police are expected to be involved in both the apprehension of
criminals and in the reduction of crime through a relationship with the
society they serve. The better the relationship with the community, the more
successful the police are in apprehending criminals and reducing crime. The
better the relationship with the community, the more trust the community
has in their police.
Hinds and Fleming (2006) in their study emphasizes the importance of
cooperative and supportive relationships between police and the
communities they serve. Yet, community policing is characterized by
conflict/s around a range of issues, including goals, priorities and
resources. A key factor that mitigates the impact of such conflicts on public
satisfaction with police is the extent to which people view police as
legitimate.
This paper explores police legitimacy among people who have been a victim
of crime. Findings show that victims of crime had lower levels of satisfaction
with police performance and police-community relations generally, but these
views did not translate into negative judgements of police legitimacy. The
paper suggests that the findings have significant implications for police
practice specially and contribute to existing theory on victimization and
attitudes towards police legitimacy. It is suggested that if police are to retain
their legitimacy overtime ore effort may need to be expended in building on
existing levels of satisfaction. Such an objective would require a more
proactive approach to working with victims of crime. In order for this to be a
realistic policy option, changes to police practice, key performance
indicators and measurement generally would need to be considered.
Docobo (2005), in his study that crime is a major problem in many cities,
citizens’ fear of crime often exceeds the actual risk of being victimized. In
evaluating research conducted by Wesley Skogan in accounting for levels of
fear in communities, Moore and Trojanowicz found that fear could be
addressed by strategies other than those that directly reduce criminal
victimization. Moore and Trojanowicz posited that fear might be reduced by
using the communications within social networks to provide accurate
information about the risk of victimization and advice about constructive
responses to the risk of crime. In 1982, the National Institute of Justice
awarded the Police Foundation a grant to conduct a study of strategies to
reduce citizen fear of crime. This study provided empirical data on the
effectiveness of community policing strategies in reducing fear among
citizens. In the experiment, the Newark, New Jersey and Houston, Texas
police department used locally developed strategies that stressed the
exchange of quality information between police and citizens fostered a sense
that police officers were available to citizens and concerned about
neighborhood problems. The experiment results indicated that police-citizen
interaction was an effective strategy. When police officers regularly listened
to citizens and acted on their advice, citizens became less fearful of crime
and their satisfaction with police services increased. In sum, the research
showed that if police officers work harder at talking and listening to citizens,
they can reduce fear of victimization and, in some cases, reduce crime itself.
In this study Erasmus (1991) the police, however, for a number of reasons
this does not appear to have happened to the extent one might have
expected (Rauch 1991; Marias 1991) the explanation is to be found in the
nature of police accountability, continued political polarization (in which the
police have been one of the more controversial issues), and the nature of the
police force itself. Also important is the way in which the police organization
and members see police-community relations, particularly at local level.
Rosebaum (1990) in this study asserts that community policing and
problem-oriented policing represents a philosophy of policing more than a
specific set of programs and activities. The central elements of this
philosophy includes a broader definition of what constitutes legitimate police
work, interactions between the police and the citizenry, greater attention to
proactive problem solving and crime prevention strategies, and efforts to
restructure police bureaucracies to provide more decentralized planning and

service delivery. At the core of this entire orientation is the recognition that
“co-production” (i.e joint efforts to produce public safety) is the most
sensible approach to combat crime and Fear of crime given the nature of the
problem. The promise of community policing lies in its capacity to address a
wide range of social and physical problems that contribute to
neighbourhood crime and fear of crime.
Conceptual Framework
The conceptual framework maps the entire process of research study. The
study entitled, Effectiveness of Police officers for community safety in San
Francisco, Agusan del sur. This study aims to know the effectiveness of
police in terms of crime prevention while societal condition changes.

input- process and output. The first frame which refers to the inputs consist
of the Business owners and late workers as respondents of the study. It is
where the researchers made fundamental making of the study and to know
more about their personal data which include name and type of business,
daily income and products being market for businesses owners and age,
sex , Educational attainment, time of duty and occupation for late workers.
This also include the effectiveness of police for community safety on crime
prevention, violence prevention, injury prevention and community
information.
The second frame refers to the process include the steps in the conduct of
the study while the third frame shows the output consist of the level of
effectiveness of the police for community safety.

From the results of this study the third frame also would be provided
supplemented plan for the effectiveness of police to satisfy the community
safety despite of societal condition.

CHAPTER III
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This study aims to identify the effectiveness of the police officer’s actions
in administering community safety within the selected three (3) barangays of
San Francisco, Agusan Del Sur. For this purpose, the researchers will be
able to answer the following specific questions.
1. What is the profile of the late workers with regard to?
1.1. Age
The age distribution of late worker respondents is shown in Tables 1
and Figure 1. Data revealed a high percentage (62.22%) are at the age of
between 26-40 yrs old. This clearly shows that the respondents are in
matured age and has already the capabilities to answer the given questions
effectively and critically, as they have more experiences in life. A 2010 study
found out that there is a positive relationship between age and critical
thinking (Azodi P., Jahanpoor F. & Sharif F., 2010). Age is an important
factor that is directly correlated with human thinking. According to
Babamohammadi, Esmaeilpour M., Negarande R., & Dehghan Nayeri N.,
(2011), critical thinking improves with age.

barangays of Borbon, Lapinigan, and Pasta, female respondents dominated
at total of 26 (57.78%) and male respondent at a total of 19 (42.22%). It is
submitted that females are more likely to answering the effectiveness of
police officer for community safety. According to an empirical data, there is a
very minimal sex difference in general mental ability. Men shows great
ability on visuospatial tasks while women perform better on test of verbal
usage and perceptual speed (Johnson W. & Bouchard T., 2007). This shows
that all the respondents are capable of providing data and answering the
given questions necessary for the success of this study specially that the
dominant respondents are females.

are married
The primary purpose of civil registration is to establish the legal documents

required by law. Civil registration generates documentation that supports an
individual’s right to recognition as a person before the law and acknowledge
their formal relationship with state. Individuals are able to have their
existence, identity, and vital events legally recognised and obtain proof of
legal and civil status through valid certificates. The absence of civil
registration has been described as a scandal of invisibility. (The University of
Melbourne)

Table 3.1 presents the mean distribution of the late workers respondents in

barangay Borbon is 3.35, barangay Lapinigan is 3.61 both verbally describe

“The ultimate goal of crime prevention is to reduce the risk of being a
victim.” (SIU, par.1) “Successful crime prevention will promote safer
community by enhancing the perception of safety and the attitudes and
behaviors that help people feel safe.” (SIU, par.3) Reducing crime must be a
community effort. It requires the work of not only law enforcement but also
the community itself. Crime prevention programs can be instituted, but
until everyone decides to work together on the effort, they can be futile. In
this paper I will be discussing the jurisdiction of Oklahoma City, the portion
of the criminal justice my proposal addresses, an analysis of crime statistics
in Tallahassee, Florida, San Francisco, California, and Cleveland, Ohio, and
how they compare to the national average, what the SARA model and the
Problem Analysis Triangle are, the crime prevention strategy I have chosen,
my recommendations, and my anticipated outcomes.
According to the Lectric Law Library it states that, “ the fourteenth
Amendment prohibits the deprivation of liberty or property without due
process of law and the Sixth Amendent, which is applicable to the states
through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendent, guarantees a
criminal defendant a fundamental right to be clearly informed of the nature
and cause of the charges against him”(Lectric, n.d) par. 1). The Fourth
Amendment protects every individual from being wronged by the police and
the government. Every court in the United States must always be fair to
every individual without causing harm, or unfair trials and sentences to be
brought to the defendant. Due process is considered to be,” the idea that
laws and legal proceedings must be fair and the Constitution guarantees
that the government cannot take away a person’s basic rights to life, liberty
or property, without due process of law” (Lectric,n.d,)

oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either
results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological
harm, mal development, or deprivation,” although the group acknowledges
that the inclusion of “the use of power” in its definition expands on the

decision making processes at the individual, family, community and societal

property crimes is an exceptionally severe problem for the majority of the

Organization (WHO) collaborating centre for community safety, based on

Karolinska Institute in Sweden for over 20 years, defines community safety

as injury prevention, including violence, suicide, and natural disaster, where
