Responders' Manual
PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE MANUAL RESPONDERS’ MANUAL CHAPTER I BACKGROUND GENERAL – The Philippine National Police is mandated to enforce the law, maintain peace and order, protect life and property, ensure public safety with the active support of the community. The patrol elements composed of the foot and mobile patrols are the most ubiquitous members of the force and are synonymous to police presence. They are the ones who almost always arrive first at the scene of the crime in response to calls for police assistance. Being the “First Responders,” it is imperative that patrol officers are able to identify violations of law, bring criminals to justice, collect and preserve pieces of evidence, and assist in the prosecution of offenders. 2. PURPOSE AND SCOPE Purpose - This First Responders Handbook provides guidance for patrol officers and other members of the force who respond to the scene of a disaster or other emergency as enumerated in the succeeding pages. It assists them in establishing on-scene command, formulating a situation estimate, alerting others to the condition of emergency, and guides them what to do and how to do it when faced by specific situations. Scope - The handbook discusses the policies, procedures, measures and safety considerations governing the commitment of police patrols in the interest of public order and safety. The procedure should be applied where possible to offenses and situations listed. A modification of some procedures may be necessary because of particular circumstances, however, most will apply in a majority of cases. 3. THINGS AND EQUIPMENT A MOBILE CAR SHOULD HAVE Radio - exclusive channels, call sign, etc Siren Notebook, pen, etc Megaphone/ PA system Photo equipment Hand cuff Whistle Fingerprint equipment Reports format (Traffic accident report, Tech Inspection Report, etc) j. -

Philippines: Reports of Corruption and Bribery
Home > Research > Responses to Information Requests RESPONSES TO INFORMATION REQUESTS (RIRs) New Search | About RIR's | Help 24 August 2006 PHL101564.E Philippines: Reports of corruption and bribery within the police force; government response; frequency of convictions of members of the police force accused of criminal activity (2004 - 2006) Research Directorate, Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, Ottawa The Report on the Transparency International Global Corruption Barometer 2004 revealed that Filipinos considered the police to be the most corrupt institution or sector in their country (TI 9 Dec. 2004, 11). The following year, the police dropped to second place in the ranking of corrupt institutions as perceived by the public, behind political parties and the legislature, which tied for first place (ibid. 9 Dec. 2005, 18). Starting in 2000, surveys of efforts made by public and private agencies to combat corruption were conducted by the Quezon City- based non-profit social research organization, Social Weather Stations (SWS n.d.). The results indicated that the Philippine National Police (PNP) received a "bad" rating in 2005, a rating it retained in 2006 (Manila Standard 7 July 2006; The Manila Times 8 July 2006). Both Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and the chief director of the PNP, Edgar Aglipay, have acknowledged that corruption is a problem within the police force (Philippines 17 July 2003; INQ7 3 Jan. 2005; Manila Standard 11 Dec. 2004). In a 2003 statement, President Arroyo called police corruption a "serious problem" that was negatively affecting national security (Philippines 17 July 2003), while Aglipay remarked that "persistent allegations" of police corruption were contributing to a "crisis of confidence" within the force (INQ7 3 Jan. -

Abstract Traffic fatalities are increasing in America, and cities are increasingly turning to a traffic safety framework called Vision Zero to combat this problem America Vision Zero plans generally include law enforcement as one strategy, which has drawn criticism from activists concerned about racially biased policing. This report analyzes the relationship between Vision Zero and racial justice, focusing on how cities conduct targeted stakeholder engagement and how this engagement affects the ways in which concerns about racially biased policing are incorporated into Vision Zero plans. -
Traffic Prediction Framework for Openstreetmap Using Deep
Traffic Prediction Framework for OpenStreetMap Using Deep Learning Based Complex Event Processing and Open Traffic Cameras Piyush Yadav1 Lero-SFI Irish Software Research Centre, Data Science Institute, National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland [email protected] Dipto Sarkar Department of Geography, University College Cork, Ireland [email protected] Dhaval Salwala Insight Centre for Data Analytics, National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland Edward Curry Insight Centre for Data Analytics, National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland [email protected] Abstract Displaying near-real-time traffic information is a useful feature of digital navigation maps. However, most commercial providers rely on privacy-compromising measures such as deriving location in- formation from cellphones to estimate traffic. The lack of an open-source traffic estimation method using open data platforms is a bottleneck for building sophisticated navigation services on top of OpenStreetMap (OSM). We propose a deep learning-based Complex Event Processing (CEP) method that relies on publicly available video camera streams for traffic estimation. The proposed framework performs near-real-time object detection and objects property extraction across camera clusters in parallel to derive multiple measures related to traffic with the results visualized on OpenStreetMap. The estimation of object properties (e.g. vehicle speed, count, direction) provides multidimensional data that can be leveraged to create metrics and visualization for congestion beyond commonly used density-based measures. Our approach couples both flow and count measures during interpolation by considering each vehicle as a sample point and their speed as weight. We demonstrate multidimensional traffic metrics (e.g. flow rate, congestion estimation) over OSM by processing 22 traffic cameras from London streets. -
