 CHAPTER 1
POLICE OPERATIONS

LESSON 1: Introduction:

Police operations proved to be successful with the cooperation of the community in the area,
not only in Philippine setting but also in most countries throughout the world. There is always a need
to review and update regularly the existing strategies, tactics and techniques used by police officers
in their operations particularly in the observance of the human rights of each citizen whom they
sworn to serve and protect. The adequacy of the policy framework and its translation into operation
rules and guidelines for the daily performance of the police functions in the field (patrol, investigation,
special operations and traffic management) shall be assessed in particular.
Moreover, the course will help the student understand the procedures in the conduct of Police
Operations and familiarize with the rights of the accused detained or under investigation and to
memorize the rules of arrest to avoid any violation of the law if they will practice their profession in
the future. This course also helps the students familiarize themselves in the methods and
procedures in the management of disaster and relief operation and the methods and procedures in
the protection of crime scene to ensure the validity of crime scene processing and to get the best
evidence to be presented in court to give justice to the victims. The course also helps the student
understand crime mapping in the field of law enforcement and criminal justice.

POLICE OPERATIONS
POLICE OPERATIONS comprise the mission-critical aspects of a police organization. It
refers to activities conducted in the field by law enforcement officers as they “serve and protect”,
including patrol, traffic, investigation and general calls for service. Police operations consist of
policies, institutional arrangements, processes and resources for the performance of policemen
main functions.
It is important to understand the context in which operations occur before looking at specific
police operations and the skills required to perform said operations effectively and efficiently. Police
operations have changed for the past years from traditional policing system to community oriented
policing system.
One of the principles that foreshadowed community policing: “The police are the public and
the public are police.” Police are only successful with their jobs when they elicited public approval
and assistance in their actions without resorting to force or the severity of law.

Communication: The Foundation of Police Operations

Communication skills are critical to every aspect of effective police operation. Effective
communication can produce several positive outcomes and can be used to inform, persuade,
diffuse, guide, motivate, reassure and negotiate.

Communication is defined as any act by which one person gives to or receives from another
person’s information about that person’s needs, desires, perceptions, knowledge or affective states.
Communication may be intentional or unintentional, may involve conventional or unconventional
signals, may take linguistic or non - linguistic form, and may occur through spoken or other modes.

Definition of Interpersonal Communication

The Contextual View

One way of defining interpersonal communication is to compare it to other forms of communication.
In so doing, we would examine how many people are involved, how physically close they are to one
another, how many sensory channels are used, and the feedback provided.
Interpersonal communication
differs from other forms of communication in that there are few participants involved, the inter-actions
are in close physical proximity to each other, there are many sensory channels used, and feedback
is immediate an important point to note about the contextual definition is that it does not take into
account the relationship between the interactions.

The developmental view

We have many different relationships with people. Some researchers say that our definition of
interpersonal communication must account for these differences. These researchers say that
interacting with a sales clerk in a store is different than the relationship we have with our friends and
family members. Thus, some researchers have proposed an alternative way of defining
interpersonal communication. This is called developmental view. From this view, interpersonal
communication is defined as communication that occurs between people who have known each
other for some time. Importantly, these people view each other as unique individuals, not as people
who are simply acting out of social situations.

Active listening
Is concentrating on the message as well as on its intent and feelings. It involves attending skills,
encouragement or motivational skills and reflecting skills.

Effective Listening
Listening is a critical skill in law enforcement. It is necessary for effective verbal communication and
result in a better understanding of people and increased cooperation from them.

Listen to learn and understand, not to challenge or persuade

Take turns and listen for facts and feelings.

LESSON 2: Philippine National Police Operational Master Plans

Philippine National Police Operational Master Plans

The operational master plans are plans for the operation of special divisions like the patrol,
detective, traffic, disaster management and juvenile control divisions. It is prepared to accomplish
each of the primary police tasks. Operational planning is the final step in the planning hierarchy. It
coordinates the work standards and the appropriate individual to implement tactical plans.
An operational Planning is a subset of strategic work plan. It describes short term ways of
achieving milestones and explains how, or what portion of a strategic plan will be put into operation
during a given budgetary term. An operational plan is the basis for and justification of an annual
operating budget request. Therefore, a five-year strategic plan would need five operational plans
funded by five operating budgets. Like a strategic plan, an operational plan address four questions:
• Where are we now?
• Where do we want to be?
• How do we get there?
• How do we measure our progress?
The operational Plan (OP) is both the first and last step in preparing an operating budget request.
Operational plans should be prepared by the people who will be involved in implementation. There
is often a need for significant cross-departmental dialogue as plans created by one part of the
organization inevitably have implications for other plans.
Operational plans should contain:
• Clear objectives
• Activities to be delivered
• Quality standards
 • Desired outcomes
• Staffing and resource requirements
• Implementation timetable
• A process for monitoring progress

PNP Plans for Police Operations

In line with this context, the Philippine National Police as a police organization has established
6 Master Plans in the conduct of police operations. These Master plans for operations serve as a
ready reference of all PNP units in the performance of their mandated tasks. It also serves as a
guiding tool for the organization to achieve its vision, mission and goals.
These master plans help all PNP uniformed personnel to fully understand and effectively
implement the various operational plans designed to address major threats to criminality, safety and
security.
