  • 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.

  • 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.
