 The following are the Emerging Best Practices of this Office:

i. Accordion Checkpoint
To address crimes perpetrated by motorcycle riding criminals, other motor
vehicles and other means to intercept criminals and other lawless elements using the
highways and major thoroughfares to escape from their unlawful activities, this program
was conceived and is being implemented down to the police stations.

ii. I See na, Trained Ka

(Basic Computer Literacy Enhancement Training)

Cagayan PPO aims to enhance the Learning and Growth Perspective of the PNP
strategy map by training PNP personnel who do not have formal training on how to
operate computers basically on Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint which are
essential programs needed in the preparation of reports, briefing presentation and
police correspondence. With the conduct of this training, all personnel will develop
confidence to perform their duties and to help their respective units in the preparation of
documentary requirements, compliances and correspondence.
Also, this is in compliance with the requirement for continuous training for
personnel in consistent with our ICT compliance as indicated in the Cagayan
Operational Dashboard.

iii. Balik-Aral Para sa Imbestigador

(Monthly Conduct of Practical Exercises for Investigators)
This Project which requires the monthly conduct of practical exercises for
investigators is a tool to upgrade and improve their effectiveness and efficiency in the
proper processing of crimes scene, preservation of evidence, preparation of documents
and case folders to facilitate and expedite the prosecution of air-tight cases thereby
increasing the percentage of conviction of accused.

iv. Turo Para Pasado

(Review Class for NAPOLCOM Promotional Examination)
The Turo Para Pasado as a Best Practice is designed to help PNP personnel
especially those included in the list of candidates for attrition to pass the promotional
examination administered by NAPOLCOM and those who are not promoted due to lack
of appropriate eligibility for promotion. It is geared towards developing competent,
motivated and values-oriented police personnel greatly contributing to the Learning and
Growth Perspective of the PGS Strategy Roadmap.
To achieve this end, the morale and welfare of PNP personnel should be given
consideration and attention to motivate them to perform better their duties. When PNP
personnel feel that the PNP leadership cares for their career growth and development
by providing avenues to enhance their knowledge, skills and attitudes, the more that
they will exert effort to improve or enhance themselves and their performance as well.
 v. PGS sa PGS(Palalimanng Galing at Sagot sa PGS)
- Quiz Bee on the PGS
Through this project, this Office will assess their knowledge and assist them in
understanding how the transformation program works through a quiz bee contest. Every
personnel should know by heart the vision of the Plan, the perspectives of the roadmap,
the process checks used to identify strategies and initiatives to close gaps, the
strategies employed to achieve the objectives, and the scorecards or dashboards
representing their objectives measures, targets and activities. By doing this, every PNP
personnel can think of ways to help improve the PNP organization, work on their part for
the attainment of the PNP’s vision.

vi. Chainlock System
This Emerging Best Practice is conceptualized to provide preventive measures to
incidence of carnapping of motorcycles in parking areas of malls, government
offices/building, parks, schools, churches, business establishments, streets, highways,
cockpit arenas and other places of convergence.

vii. Case Mo, Review at Solve Ko

(Conduct of Weekly Case Conferences with IOC)
The weekly conduct of case conference of this Office is a tool for the
investigators to review their cold cases from Calendar Year 2009 to the present and is
considered an effective measure to unclog its record of cold cases.
A lot of cold cases have been neglected by the investigators-on-case to review
the incident and file the case in court. With the mandatory review and the initiative of
this Office to pursue unsolved /cold cases, and revisiting of crime scenes, victims and
witnesses, the IOC will be able to gather new evidence, thus, leading to the filing of
case/s.
To effectively and efficiently achieve it objectives, cases are categorized and
reviewed based on given schedules. The activity is attended by IOCs of concerned
stations.

Other Best Practices Adopted and Implemented by Cagayan PPO

POLARIS Program

The Partnership AmOngLocAlResource InstituteS (POLARIS) Program was

conceptualized to provide an avenue for convergence for resource institutes forthe
operationalization of a highly sustainable, inclusive and participative approach in
achieving the primary goal of the PNP PATROL Plan 2030 in promoting a community-
supported PNP that is highly capable, effective, credible, and pro-active for a better and
safer Cagayan.”

a. Production of IEC Materials

To bolster its anti-criminality program, Cagayan PPO has undertaken to
cause the production of flyers designed by AB Mass Communications Students of CSU-
Carig Campus which were distributed in the different municipalities during barangay and
school visitations. Among the materials produced are the Date-Rape Drugs, and
Motorcycle Safety Driving Tips.
The Technical Working Group recommended the regular production and
distribution of flyers on prevalent crimes over a period of time to make the public aware
of such occurrence so that they themselves will take active part in crime prevention.

b. Preventive Maintenance Service of PNP Issued Vehicles

This Practice is developed for proper management of mobility assets in the
PNP with the end view of providing reliable mobility support to PNP operations.
Likewise, it also provides for the regular maintenance and ensure
the safety, reliability, drivability, comfort and longevity of all issued PNP vehicles of this
Provincial Office.

Also, it aims to lessen the cost of replacement or repair. Since a machinery that
is operated and maintained preventatively is more likely to go a longer period of time
before requiring replacement or service, the overall lifespan of items that are subject to
preventative maintenance program is increased, leading to less frequent intervals of
repair or replacement in general. A good preventative maintenance service can help to
discover and repair problems before they occur.

c. Preventive Maintenance Service of Air Conditioning Units of CPPO

Considering the hot climate prevailing in Cagayan, particularly Tuguegarao City,
this Best Practice is seen as a good avenue for proper management of air conditioning
units of all offices of Cagayan PPO with the end view of providing a cooler atmosphere
thereby making all offices more convenient and conducive not only for PNP personnel
but also for clients who transact official business with the PNP.

d. Cleaning and Maintenance of Computers of CPPO

A quarterly checkup and maintenance, reprogramming/reformatting, tune up

and PC cleaning of all computer units of Cagayan PPO is undertaken to ensure that
these are well-functioning to facilitate and expedite the preparation of reports,
correspondence, briefing presentation, requirements and other compliance for higher
headquarters and on-line communication with other PNP units

e. Lecture on Police Report Writing

This Office realized the need to provide opportunities to develop the

communication skills, particularly writing proficiency of police investigators in preparing
their reports and other legal documents. This program aims to refresh the basic
knowledge of participants on grammar structure, sentence construction, correct usage,
and principles of good report writing, hence, contributing to the Learning and Growth
Perspective of the PGS Strategy Roadmap.
 f. Driving Lessons and Basic Troubleshooting for PNP Personnel

Through this program, PNP personnel of this Office are given driving lessons
and training on basic troubleshooting to equip them with skills needed to cope with
emergency situations like responding to calls or requests for police assistance,
assisting motorists or commuters, or evacuating sick or injured persons to the nearest
hospital.

the driver) before dispatch of vehicles. They are also provided technical know-how on
troubleshooting in case of minor defects.

h. Seminar-Workshop on Stress Debriefing and Counseling

This Program was conceived to develop skills of WCPD Personnel in

administering psychological first-aid - an intervention needed in dealing with abused
women, children and those in difficult situations. This activity which is implemented
quarterly, greatly contributes in developing various techniques in handling domestic
violence-related cases or complaints brought to the police stations. The first batch
composed of fifty (50) WCPD and other personnel from the Provincial headquarters
and the police stations are recipient of this training by professors manning the
Guidance Counseling Center of CSU-Carig Campus.

i. Fabrication of PNP Signage

The fabrication of PNP signage contributes to the effective manning of

checkpoints by PNP personnel of Tuguegarao City Police Station. The signage is
designedwith a detachable board and a tripod to be easily transported, even in bulk
and assembled whenused in conducting checkpoint operations. A total of 24 police
checkpoint signage were fabricated by students of the College of Industrial

(wall painting) on the camp’s perimeter fence to promote greater understanding on its
contribution to the community, enhance its image, build public trust and confidence,
and generate support for its anti-criminality campaign. All offices and the police stations
of Cagayan PPO were given their respective span to showcase the services they
render and other information about their units.
OPLAN VISA

To curb if not to totally eliminate crime incidents perpetrated by motorcycle riding

criminals, the OPLAN Verification of Identification and Sticker Authenticity (VISA) is
being implemented by all police stations in Cagayan.

PROJECT P.O.S.T.E.
(Police Outpost on the Street for Traffic Direction, Control and Quick Emergency)

The P.O.S.T.E. is designed to quickly respond to crime incidents and traffic

congestions. This is also to address crimes involving the use of firearms, street crimes
and those perpetrated by criminals riding on motorcycle as these have become an
alarming public safety concern.
It is an integrated approach of the establishment of P.O.S.T.E. of all Police
Stations in coordination with their respective LCE/LGU. Police personnel assigned in
traffic and patrol shall primarily man the outpost aided by the members of Traffic Aides,
BPATs/Tanods from barangays which have jurisdiction over the established POSTE.
