INTRODUCTION
 Whenever a community is organized, it is imperative for the policing system to be established to deal
with crimes being committed by its members. This is because a crime is already a part of our
community which may happen anytime, anywhere and unexpectedly like a calamity.
 Hence, it is right to consider crime as a social phenomenon. In the history of Philippine policing
systems, several things may be learned from the problems and mistakes that were encountered and
committed in the past that may serve as guiding stars in improving our present and future policing
systems.

From the simplest social structure-the family to the most complex-the community of nations, it is
essential that certain norms and conduct to be established and observed in order to ensure that the cordial
and harmonious relationship among its members are preserved and maintained.

It is in the field of law enforcement that the police are most involved in the complicated inter-
relationship within a social structure. The effectiveness of a police organization is essentially dependent on
the manner the same is managed, administered and controlled and most especially on the trust that the
citizens-clientele of policing business bestow upon it.

THE MEANING OF THE TERM “POLICE”


• POLICE is the agency of a community or government that is responsible for enforcing the law,
maintaining public order, preventing and detecting crime.
• The term POLICE refers to the internal organization or regulation of the state, the control and
regulation of the community or state through the exercise of the constitutional power of the
government.
• In a narrower sense, POLICE denotes the constitutionally created agency that exercises the power of
the government concerning the maintenance of tranquility, public order, peace, security of person
and property and the protection of public health and morale.
• In a very restricted sense, POLICE refers to that organization of armed men, which is actually an
institution that is capable of exercising legally mandated duties to enforce the law, maintain public
order, and detect and prevent crimes.

LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY


 The term Law Enforcement Agency is broader, that includes other agencies under the executive branch
of the government in charge with the execution or enforcement of laws.

DIFFERENT POLICE ACTIVITIES


• Prevention of crime is intended to prevent root causes of crime.
• Repression or suppression of crime is done to reduce the opportunity of committing a crime like the
act of conducting patrol.
• Apprehending offenders is also known as arresting offenders.
• Conduct search and seizure;  Investigation of crime; and  Protection of lives and property.

THE EVOLUTION OF POLICING SYSTEM


The term police came from the Greek word POLITEIA (government of a city), which was used to
describe the group of civil officers governing the city and not necessarily the armed guarding or policing the
city when the Romans conquered the Greeks, the changed the word slightly to POLITIA.

The French changed the word to POLICE and used it to those authorized people who actually enforce
the law. The English and the Americans borrowed the word from the French and used it to describe a law
enforcement officer.
The creation of police force as a protective and law enforcement organization developed from the use
of military bodies as guardians of the peace such as the PRAETORIAN GUARD of ancient Rome.
The Romans achieved a high level of law enforcement, which remained in effect until the decline of
the empire and the onset of the Middle Ages. Beginning in the 5 th century, policing became a function of the
heads of fiefdoms and principalities.

1. ANGLO-SAXON PERIOD OF POLICING SYSTEM (Ancient England) During the Anglo-Saxon period in
England, the practiced policing systems compared with the present Philippine Policing system, are the
following:
a. THANES POLICING SYSTEM
 King Alfred the great introduced a type of internal police force where landowners (known Thanes)
throughout his kingdom were responsible to police their own territory. As such the landowners
are empowered to arrest offenders and deliver them to the king. They were also empowered to
settle civil litigations.

Note: The Thanes Policing System is not being followed at present in the Philippines because landowners
are not empowered to settle civil litigations. They are however conduct arrest under any of the
circumstances of warrantless arrest.
b. FRANKPLEDGE System
• Policing was carried out under a system called frankpledge or mutual pledge, whereby every male
over 12 years old join nine (9) of his neighbors to form a Tythingmen.

TYTHINGMEN – a group of men whose duty was to apprehend any person who offends
another and deliver that offender for trial.

• Anyone who failed to join and perform this obligatory duty was severely fined. Thus, policing
responsibility lies on the hands of the citizens.

Note: Frankpledge Policing System is not being followed at present in the Philippines because a person
may become a policeman only if he reaches the age required and not all male residents are required to
do police works.

c. TUN POLICING
• Tun was the forerunner of the word “town”.
• Under this system, all male residents were required to guard the town to preserve peace and
order, protect the life and properties of the people and other factors that disturbs the peace and
order.
Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
Page|4

Note: Tun Policing System is not being followed at present because not all residents are required to do
police works.

d. HUE AND CRY


• In this system, the complainant or victim goes to the middle of the community and shout to call all
male residents to assemble.
• The victim reports his complaint to the assembly. Consequently, all the male residents will go
after the criminal and apprehend him.

Note: The Hue and Cry Policing System is not being followed at present because our sense of obligation to
assemble and arrest the perpetrator, even if we are capacitated to do so, already deteriorated.

e. ROYAL JUDGE System


• The royal judge conducted criminal investigation and gave punishment fitted to the crime
committed.
• This practice started the identification of criminals.

Note: At present in the Philippines, the Royal Judge is not being followed because our judges do not
conduct criminal investigations, they only conduct trial to determine whether the accused is guilty or not
guilty and impose the proper penalty in case of conviction.

f. TRIAL BY ORDEAL
• A suspect was required to place his hands over boiling water or oil.
• If he would not get hurt, he will be acquitted but when hurt, he would be considered guilty.
• Double jeopardy was prevalent during this period.
DOUBLE JEOPARDY- the prosecution of a person twice for the same offense.

Note: At present, The Trial by Ordeal is not also being followed because we all know that anyone who
puts his hand in boiling water will get hurt, whether guilty or not of the crime charged.

2. NORMAN PERIOD OF POLICING (1066-1285)


a. SHIRE-REEVE System
• When King William Norman became the ruler of England, he divided his kingdom into 55 military
districts known as the Shire-Reeves.
• SHIRE means a district while REEVE means the ruler who made laws, pass judgment and impose
punishment.
Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
Page|5

• He was assisted by a group of constables, the forerunner of the constabulary.


• The term Shire-Reeve eventually became Sheriff, the title of the chief of constables or police officers
in a certain town.
• The TRAVELLING JUDGE was held responsible in deciding cases that were taken from Shire-Reeves
due to some abuses.

Note: In the Philippines at present, no single person is authorized to make laws, render judgment and
impose penalties at the same time. The act of making laws is within the exclusive power of the legislative
branch of the government and the act of rendering judgment and imposing penalties is the power of the
judiciary.

b. KEEPERS OF PEACE
 The keepers of peace was a proclamation issued by King Richard of England in 1195 requiring the
appointment of knights to maintain peace and order at the place where the king is residing. The
knights were posted on bridges and gates to check the people entering and leaving the town or
cities.

Note: At present in the Philippine setting, the President is guarded by a special unit called the Presidential
Security Group.

c. LEGIS HENRIE
 This law was enacted during the time of King Henry I, which imposed the following -features:
1. Law violations were classified as offenses against the King.
2. Policemen became public officials.
3. The police and the citizens have the broad power to arrest.
4. Grand Jury was created to inquire on the facts of the law.

d. 1195
• King Richard of England issued a proclamation entitled KEEPERS OF THE PEACE.
• Requiring the appointment of Knights to keep the King’s peace by standing as guards on bridges and
gates while checking the people entering and leaving the cities and towns.

e. June 15, 1215


• Magna Carta (Great Charter) was sealed by King John of England.
• This became a law upon the demand of the Knights of the Round Table. The knights forced King John
to sign the document, which declared the following:

Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)

1) No freemen shall be taken or imprisoned, disposed, outlawed, or bowedexcept by legal judgment of his
peers.
2) No person should be tried for murder unless there is proof of the body ofthe victim.
3) There should be national and local government as well as the nationaland local legislation.

3. DURING THE WESTMINSTER PERIOD

• Was enacted for law and order.
• This law introduced the system of WATCH AND WARD.

b. STATUTE OF 1295
 Began the closing of the gates of London during sunset.  This started the observation
of curfew hours.

c. JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

CHAPTER 2
(CONCEPTS, THEORIES & PRINCIPLES OF MODERN POLICING)

Concepts of Modern Policing (Sir Robert Peel) The police should be organized
along military lines.
a. The police should be place under screening and training.
b. The police should be hired on a probationary basis.
c. The police should be deployed by time and by area.
d. Police headquarters should be accessible to the people.
e. Police-Record keeping is essential.

General Concept of Police Service


1. Old Concept
Police service gives the impression of being merely a suppressive machinery. This philosophy advocates that
the measurement of police competence is the increasing number of arrests, throwing offenders in detention
facilities rather than trying to prevent them from committing crimes. Punishment is the role instrument of
crime control-throwing more people to jail rather than keeping them out of jail.
2. New or Modern Concept
Regards police as the first line of defense of the criminal justice system, an organ of crime prevention. The
yardstick of efficiency of the police is the absence of crime or decreasing number of crimes. Its objective is the
welfare of the people and the society.

The Principles of Law Enforcement enunciated by Sir Robert Peel


a. Prevention of Crime is the basic mission of the police.
b. Police must have the full respect of the citizenry.
c. A citizen’s respect for law develops his respect for the police.
d. Cooperation of the public decreases as the use of force increases.
e. Police must render impartial enforcement of the law.
f. Physical force is used only as a last resort.
g. The police are the public and the public are the police.
h. The police represent the law.
i. The absence of crime and disorder is the test of police efficiency.

The Principles of Police Organization


Hierarchy of authority entails the superior-subordinate relationship throughout the department,
wherein a superior officer supervises each individual.

Principles of Hierarchy of Authority


a. Span of Control refers to the number of officers or subordinates that a superior supervises
without regard to the effectiveness or efficiency of the supervision.
b. Unity of Command refers to placing one and only one superior in command or in control of
every situation and every employee.
c. Delegation of Authority is the assignment of tasks, duties, and responsibilities to
subordinates while at the same time giving them the power or right to control, command,
make decisions, or otherwise act in performing the delegated responsibilities.

THEORIES OF POLICE SERVICE


1. Continental Theory
Policemen are considered as state or servants of the higher authority. The people have little or no share of all
their duties, nor any direct connection with the police organization.

2. Home Rule Theory


Policemen are considered servants of the community who depend for the effectiveness of their functions upon
the express wishes of the people. Policemen are civil servants whose key duty is the preservation of public
peace and security.

TRADITIONAL ORGANIZATION THEORY


1. SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT IN ORGANIZATION – by Frederick Taylor
 Emphasis on planning, standardizing, and improving human effort in the operational level of the
organization

2. GENERAL MANAGEMENT THEORY – by Henri Fayo


 Emphasis on the elements of planning, organizing, command, coordination and control.

3. BUREAUCRATIC MODEL OF ORGANIZATION – by Max Weber


 Emphasis on the characteristics of bureaucracy
a. Division of labor
b. Centralization of authority
c. Rational program of personnel administration
d. Rules and regulation
e. Written records

4. THE SCIENCE OF ADMINISTRATION – by Luther Gulick and Lyndal Urwick


Emphasis on the principles of:
1) PLANNING
- the determination in advance of how the objectives of the organization will be attained
- is the process of selecting goals and determining how to achieve them.

- the process of setting performance objectives and identifying the actions needed to accomplish them
- working out in broad outline the things that need to be done and the methods for doing them to
accomplish the purpose set for the enterprise

2) ORGANIZING
- involves the determination and allocation of the men and women as well as the resource of an
organization to achieve pre-determined goals or objectives of the organization
- the process of dividing the work to be done and coordinating results to achieve a desired purpose

Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
P a g e | 19

- establishment of the formal structure of authority through which work subdivisions are arranged,
defined and coordinated for the desired objectives
- is the process of making an organization fit with its objectives, resources and environment.

3) DIRECTING
- involves the overseeing and supervising of the human resources and the various activities in an
organization to achieve through cooperative efforts the pre-determined goals or objectives of the
organization
- also called leading, the process of directing and coordinating the work efforts of other people to help
them accomplish important task
- task of making decisions and embodying them in specific and general orders and instructions
- is the process of giving orders, commands, directives, or instructions to personnel in order to rule them
in accomplishing the goals or objectives of an organization.

4) CONTROLLING
- involves the checking or evaluation and measurement of work performance and comparing it with
planned goals or objectives of the organization, and making the necessary corrective actions so that
work is accomplished as planned
- the process of monitoring performance, comparing results to objectives and taking corrective action as
necessary
- also called supervising

5) STAFFING
- the task of providing competent men to do the job and choosing the
right men for the right job
- involves good selection and processing of reliable and well-trained personnel
- filling the organization with the right people in the right position

THE FOLLOWING ARE DIFFERENT STAFFING ACTIVITIES:


• RECRUITMENT - refers to the set of activities and processes used to legally obtain a sufficient number
of right people for specific positions.
• SELECTION - is the process of choosing from among the candidates the most suitable person for the
current position or for future position.
• APPRAISAL - is the process of measuring performance
Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
P a g e | 20

• TRAINING - is the act of improving the ability required in the current job
• DEVELOPMENT - is the act of improving the ability required in the future job.

WHAT IS THE NEXT-IN-RANK-RULE IN RELATION TO SELECTION?


The next in rank rule states that the appointing authority must prioritize the selection of next in rank
filling up a vacant position. This rule is not, however, absolute. The appointing authority may still appoint any
other person aside from the next in rank provided he must state the reason of not complying with said rule.

6) COORDINATING
- is the manner of integrating the different element within and outside of an organization into a
harmonious relationship.

7) REPORTING
- the making of detailed account of activities, work progress, investigations and unusual in order to keep every
one informed or what is going on

8) RECORDING
- is the system of classifying and compiling written communications going inside and going outside of an
organization

9) BUDGETING
- the forecasting in detail of the results of an officially recognized program of operations based on the
highest reasonable expectations of operating efficiency

5. THE PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIZATION – by Mooney and Reiley


 Mooney and Reiley identified coordination as the preeminent element of organizational designs. Thus,
coordination is the mother of principles.

POLICE ADMINISTRATION
Police in action. It is the cooperative human effort to achieve the purposes of the criminal justice
system. It refers also to the study of the processes and condition of Law Enforcement as a pillar of justice.

FUNCTIONS IN A POLICE ORGANIZATION 1) PRIMARY OR LINE FUNCTIONS


- functions that carry out the major purposes of the organization, delivering the services and dealing
directly with the public
- the backbone of the police department
- examples of the line functions of the police are patrolling, traffic duties, crime investigation

2) STAFF/ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS
- functions that are designed to support the line functions and assist in the performance of the line
functions
- examples of the staff functions of the police are planning, research, budgeting and legal advice

3) AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS
- functions involving the logistical operations of the organization
- examples are training, communication, maintenance, records management, supplies and equipment
management

ORGANIC UNITS IN A POLICE ORGANIZATION 1) OPERATIONAL UNITS


- those that perform primary or line functions
- examples are patrol, traffic, investigation and vice control,

2) ADMINISTRATIVE UNITS
- those that perform the administrative functions examples are personnel, finance,
planning and training

3) SERVICE UNITS
- those that perform auxiliary functions examples are communication, records
management, supplies

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
It is a mechanical means of depicting by an arrangement of
symbols, the relationship that exist between individuals, groups, and functional relationships between groups
and individuals are clearly defined to ensure accountability and compliance.

Types of Organization Structures


A. LINE ORGANIZATION
- often called the individual, military, or departmental type of organization
- it is the simplest and oldest type of organizational structure

Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
P a g e | 22

- channels of authority and responsibility extend in a direct line from top to bottom within the
structure.
- depicts the line functions of the organization
- orders or commands must come from the higher level of authority before it can be carried out -
involves few departments

ADVANTAGES:
1. Simple
2. Division
3. Each unit completely controlled
4. Direct responsibility and accountability
5. Quick decisions because of direct lines of authority

DISADVANTAGE:
1. Impractical

B. FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION
• Functional organization divides responsibility and authority between several specialists, such as a
person responsible for all training, an employee directing the community relations activities of all units,
or a person handling cases involving all juvenile activities.
• The functional responsibility of a commander is limited to the particular activity over which he has
control.
• depicts staff functions of the organization
• responsibilities are divided among authorities who are all accountable to the authority above

FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE


Chief of Police

Personnel Training Juvenile Traffic


Community Relation

Line Officers and Employees

C. LINE AND STAFF ORGANIZATION


• The line and staff organization is the combination of line and functional types and is found in almost all
police agencies today.
• It combines staff specialist with line organization so that service of knowledge can be provided line
personnel by specialists such as criminalist training officers and intelligence specialist.
• Channels or responsibility and authority are left intact since the specialist provides expertise while the
line does the task. Specialist only give advises not commands.
• Generally more formal in nature and has many departments

The Philippine National Police follow the line and staff kind of organizational structure.

ORGANIZATIONAL PRINCIPLES

FOUR PRIMAL CONDITIONS OF AN ORGANIZATION 1) AUTHORITY


- the supreme source of government for any particular organization
- the right to exercise, to decide and to command by virtue of rank and position

2) MUTUAL COOPERATION
- an organization exists because it serves a purpose

3) DOCTRINE
- provides for the organization’s objectives
- provides the various actions, hence, policies, procedures, rules and regulations of the
organization are based on the statement of doctrines

4) DISCIPLINE
- comprising behavioral regulations

COMMAND AND STAFF PRINCIPLES

COMMANDER – he exercise command authority and responsibility over subordinates by virtue of his
rank and assignment, he discharge his responsibilities through a chain of command
COMMANDER AUTHORITY – this provides the commander with right to plan, organize, direct,
coordinate, and control PNP forces or units in order to accomplish an assigned mission or task
COMMAND RESPONSIBILITY – commander is responsible for all that his unit does or fails to do. He
alone answers for the success or failure of his command
STAFF – issue orders in the name of commander, provides information to commander, offices, other
agencies and units. Make estimates of the situation, recommendation, preparing plans and orders as well as
supervision.

PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIZATION

1 . GROUPING OF SIMILAR TASK


- task, similar or related in purpose, process, method, or clientele should be grouped together in one or
more units under the control of one person. Grouping can be done in the following:
Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
P a g e | 25

a. ACCORDING TO FUNCTION – grouping according to the nature of the task to be performed. It should
be divided into groups sp that similar and related duties may be assigned to each.
b. ACCORDING TO TIME FRAME – the units are divided into shifts according to time of the day.
c. ACCORDING TO PLACE OF WORK – a territorial distribution of a platoon accomplished assigning
patrolman on beats is necessary to facilitate the direction and control of officers and to ensure suitable patrol
service at every point within the jurisdiction.
d. ACCORDING TO LEVEL OF AUTHORITY – A police department is always divided according to level of
authority; that is, there will be some patrolmen, some sergeants, some lieutenants, and so on.
Vertical combinations of superior officers with each rank at a different level of authority from any other
form channels through which operations may be directed and controlled.
Those chains of command, or lines of direct control, facilitate the delegation of authority and the
placing of authority and responsibility, supervision is thus ensured.

2. SPECIALIZATION BASED ON NEEDS


Specialization is a principle of organization that results from the division of the force into separate units
to perform police tasks.
The degree of specialization is determined by the size of the department, by the number of units
created and extent of responsibility for the performance of task within the special field.

3. LINES OF AUTHORITY AND CHAIN OF COMMAND


Communications should be ordinarily goes upward and downward through established channels in the
hierarchy.
Diverting orders, directive, or reports around a level of command usually has disastrous effects on
efficiency of the organization, if the level, which is by passed, is ordinarily capable and responsible. The
bypassed superior has no official knowledge of the nature of a directive going downward. Since he is unaware
of the directive, he can be hardly being held responsible for enforcing it.
In emergency situations, those that requires an immediate action, giving of orders by an officer in a
staff capacity in the name of someone high in the hierarchy is acceptable, thus the duty of a subordinate to
obey. He has no alternative under those special situations. This is also known as SCALAR
OF COMMAND.
4. UNITY OF COMMAND
Only one man be in complete command of each situation, only one man be in direct command or
supervision of each officer.
Confusion is created when more than one superior undertakes independent command of an operation
performed by several subordinates or when a subordinate receives orders from more than one superior.
Compiled by: EMTS, 2021 Law Enforcement Organization and Administration (Inter-Agency Approach)
P a g e | 26

5. SPAN OF CONTROL
The ability of one man to direct, coordinate and control immediate subordinates.
The broad span of control may be reduced by the use of additional supervisory level of officials, thus
lengthening the chain of command.

6. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
The principle of delegation of work is related to the process of committing an activity to another’s care.
It is closely related to the principle of span of control in that even though the span of attention is excessive,
the harm from it can be reduced by the delegation of much detail to subordination.
Conferring of an amount of authority by a superior position to a lowerlevel position. A superior may
delegate some of his duties to his subordinates. Said superior is however, responsible for the neglect of his
subordinates.
It is the transfer of authority of a higher officer to another subordinate such as a unit head or who is a
superior of another unit or division. This process is continued to the lowest level of execution.
The delegations of authority are divided into:
a. POLICY FORMULATION – involves what are to be done in the form
of orders or broad statement of action.
b. DIRECTION – deals with procedures, what is to be done, who will do
it, when, where and how it is to be done.
c. SUPERVISION – deals with the assistance and guidance given to
subordinates to ensure successful performance.
d. EXECUTION – deals with the performance of tasks in consonance with authority to fulfill
responsibility.
