Politia originated from the Greek word “politeia” which means government, citizenship, or the entire activity of a “polis” a city. The French changed the word to “police” and used it to those authorized people who actually enforce the law.

In 1829, Sir Robert Peel established the London Metropolitan Police Force. He became known as the “Father of Modern Policing,” and his commissioners established a list of policing principles that remain as crucial and urgent today as they were two centuries ago. Slide # 21 Sir Robert Peel's Nine Principles For Modern Policing 1. The basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and disorder. 2. The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependant upon public approval of police actions. 3. Police must secure the willing cooperation of the public in voluntary observance of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the law. Slide # 22 Sir Robert Peel's Nine Principles For Modern Policing 4. The degree of cooperation of the public that can be secured diminishes proportionally to the necessity of the use of force. 5. Police seek and preserve public favor not by catered public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to the law. Slide # 23 Sir Robert Peel's Nine Principles For Modern Policing 6. Police use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only when exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient. 7. Police at all times should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition; the Police are the public and the public are the police. The police being only full time individuals charged with the duties that are incumbent on all of the citizens. Slide # 24 Sir Robert Peel's Nine Principles For Modern Policing 8. Police should always direct their actions strictly towards their functions and never appear to usurp the powers of the judiciary. 9. The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with it. E. French Police System 1.

He performs all the jobs of the offices of what we call now the chief of police, prosecutor, judge and jail warden. 1. Spanish Period The police force was considered part of the military system by the Spanish government.

It ruled the urban areas until General Douglas McArthur returned on February 7,1945. The Kempeitai was the military police force administered by the Japanese War Ministry during WWII over the Occupied Territories of Japan. Specially trained in interrogation methods, its task was to crush all resistance to military rule and it had powers to arrest and extract information from civilians and military alike. Methods of Interrogation Those arrested by the Kempeitai were presumed guilty and had little option for receiving civilian help and no appeal for clemency. Should they be released from one Kempeitai branch, they could be re- arrested by another soon after. The Kempeitai officer was police investigator, prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner. Often, long quiet sessions of interrogation would be used as long as the Kempeitai received the required answers. If these were not forthcoming, the Kempeitai would use various brutal methods of interrogation to extract a confession of guilt. Tortures were executed to the limit of human endurance or to the point of death with survivors attesting to these various methods. a.Corporal beatings - this involved metal bars, sticks, bamboo, wet knotted ropes, belts with buckles or revolver butts. b. Water Torture- the victim was tied and placed on his back with cloth placed over his nose and mouth. Water was then poured on the cloth as interrogation proceeded. Water would thus be pumped into his stomach until it was bloated. Sometimes he was beaten over his bloated stomach or a Japanese would jump or stand on it. Alternatively, the victim was tied lengthways on a ladder, facing upwards with a rung across his throat and his head beneath the ladder. In this position the victim was immersed head first into a tub of water and kept there until he almost drowned. After being revived, c. Electric torture. Electric shocks were administered to various parts of the body d. Burning- The victim was burnt with cigarette butts and cheroot ends, petrol and methylated spirits on sensitive parts of the body like the arm pits, between the toes, on the scrotum and penis. e. Dislocation of limbs -The victims' limbs were twisted and fingers bent backwards causing dislocation and permanent damage f. Psychological torture - The victim was led to believe that his/her execution either by shooting or beheading was imminent and advised to write a letter of farewell. Preparations for execution were prepared right up to the final stage and stopped short just before the final shot or cut. g. Threats to families. Threats were made to wives and families of the victim. D.

Theory and Philosophy of Police Service 1. Home rule theory - Police are considered servants of the community. ·Effectiveness of the policemen in their functions depends on the express wishes of the people. Policemen are civil employees whose primary duty is the preservation of the public peace and security. This is applied in countries that have decentralized government structure. 2. Continental theory - Policemen are considered servants of a higher authority. - Ordinary people have little or no share in all of the police duties, nor have any direct connection with the police functions - this theory is applied in countries that have centralized government Philosophy of the PNP Service 1. Service Organizational Concepts and Principles Traditional Organizational Theories a. Theory of Organization by Luther Gullick 1. Planning-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 organization. In other words, it is the act of knowing what to do and how to do it. It is the basic process of selecting goals and determining how to achieve them. It involves selecting missions and objectives, the policies programs and procedures and the action to achieve them. It requires decision making, which is, choosing from among alternatives future courses of action. 2. Organizing - the establishment of the formal structure of authority, through which work subdivisions are arranged, defined and coordinated for the defined objective. It is the process of making the organizations fit with its objectives, its resources and its environment. 3. It is the identification and classification of required activities, the grouping of activities necessary to attain objectives, and the assignment of its grouping to a manager with the authority necessary to supervise it. 4.Staffing - the whole personnel function of bringing in and training the staff and maintaining favorable conditions of work. It is the filling and keeping filled positions in the organizational structures. This is done by identifying work force requirements, inventorying the people available, recruiting, placing personality, promoting, appraising, compensating, and 5. Directing - the continuous task of making decisions and embodying them in specific and general orders and instructions and serving as the leader of the organization. It is the process of giving orders, commands, directives or instructions to personnel in order to rule or guide them in knowing or telling what to do, where to go, etc. in 6. Coordinating - the all-important duty of interrelating the various parts of the work. It is the manner of integrating the different elements within or outside the organization into an efficient and harmonious relationship, thus making them work together or fit with each other. 7. Reporting-keeping those to whom the executive is responsible informed as to what is going on, which thus includes keeping 8. Budgeting-all that goes with budgeting in the form of fiscal planning, accounting and control. It is the management of income and expenditures within the organization. It includes the appropriation of funds to be distributed to functional units and the system of determining expenses. b. Bureaucratic Management by Max Weber 1. Hierarchy - each lower office is under the control and supervision of a higher one. There is a right of appeal and of statement of grievances from the lower to the higher. 2. Division of Labor - is based on a “specified sphere of competence.” 3. Rational rules-applied uniformly throughout the organization. 4. Record-administrative acts, decisions and rules are put into writing. 5. The “rights” associated with a position are the property of the office and not the officeholders. 6. Merit-employees are appointed and promoted on the basis of qualifications and special training. 7. Maintenance of impersonal relationships, because rational decisions can only be made objectively and without emotions. c. Scientific Management by Frederick Taylor is a theory of motivation in which employees will be guided in their actions by what is in their economic self-interest. d. Administrative Theory by Henri Fayol includes 1. Division of work or Specialization 2. Authority and responsibility- the right to give orders and the power to extract obedience. Whoever exercises authority has responsibility. 3. Discipline-in essence the obedience, application, energy and behavior, and outward marks of respect in accordance with the standing agreement between the organization and its employees 4. Unity of command – with an employee receiving orders from only one supervisor 5. Unity of direction- with one head and one plan for a group of activities having the same objective – unity of command cannot exist without unity of direction 6. Subordination of individual interest to the general interest the interest of an individual or a group of employees does not prevail over the concerns of the organization 7. Remuneration of personnel – to be fair to the employee and employer 8. Centralization – the objective is to pursue the optimum utilization of the capabilities of personnel 9. Scalar chain – the chain of superiors ranging from the ultimate authority to the lowest ranks, often referred to as the chain of command 10. Order – material and human resources should be in the right place at the right time, and individuals should be in the jobs or positions most suited for them 11. Equity – employees should be treated with kindness 12. Stability of tenure of personnel – an employee needs time to adjust to a new job and reach a point of a very satisfactory performance high turn over should be avoided 13. Initiative – the ability to conceive and execute a plan should be encouraged and developed at all levels of the organization Open systems theory – organization described as flexible adaptive and organic associated with open system theory. Human Relations approach-this was developed in reaction to the mechanistic orientation of traditional organizational theories which were viewed as neglecting or ignoring the human element. 1. Maslow's Need Hierarchy (arranged, like the rungs on a ladder, from the lower-order to the higher-order needs) i. Physiological or basic needs, such as food, shelter, and water ii. Safety needs, including the desires to be physically safe, to have a savings account for financial security, and to be safe in one's job iii. Belongingness and love needs, such as the iv. Esteem needs - including the desire for a stable, fairly based, and positive evaluation of one's self as evidenced by compliments, commendations, promotions and other cues. v. Self-actualization needs - such as the want to test oneself potential and gain a sense of fulfillment 2. Herzberg's Motivation-Hygiene Theory - the hygiene factors relate to the work environment while the motivators relate to the work itself. late to the work itself. Hygiene Factors (Work Motivators Environment) Supervisory practices Achievement Policies and administration Recognition for accomplishments Working conditions Challenging work Interpersonal relationships Respect and regard from others Status Advanced possibilities Effect of the job on personal Opportunity for growth and development life Job security Permanency on the job Money Financial security 3. Contingency Theory - certain methods and practices are effective in one situation but not in others. It recognizes that many internal and external environmental variables affect organizational behavior. Because these variables differ according to particular situations, there is no one best way for structuring and managing diverse types of organizations; it all depends on particular situations. 4. Theory Z-this includes job security for workers, participatory decision making, group responsibility, teamwork and informal controls; increased quality of products and services; slow evaluation and promotion policies and broader career paths; and a greater concern for employees' work and nonwork welfare, including the family. Theory X Theory Y 1.The average person inherently 1. Work, whether physical or mental, is as dislikes work and will try to avoid it. natural as play or rest, and most people do not inherently dislike it. 2.Most people must be coerced, 2. External control and the threat of controlled, directed and threatened punishment are not the only means of with punishment to get them to work brining about effort toward organizational toward organizational goals. goals. People will exercise self-direction and self-control when they are committed. 3.The average person prefers to be 3. Commitment to goals is a function of the directed, wants to avoid rewards made available, especially responsibility, has relatively little ambition, and seeks security above rewards that satisfy esteem and self- all actualization needs. 4.The average person learns, under proper conditions, not only to accept but to seek responsibility. 5.The ability to exercise a relatively high degree of ingenuity and creativity in the solution of problems is widely distributed throughout the organization. The New Paradigms of Administration a.Chaos Theory-this theory is used when too much happens too fast, things seem out of control, and collapse of the organization seems not only possible, but imminent. Yet, somehow, out of this chaos, order does emerge as the organization creates new structures and procedures to adjust to the new realities thrust upon it. b. Quantum Theory-the police organization is an energy field and focus should not only be done on what exists, but also on what the possibilities are for the future. Concepts of police service  1. Old Concept Police is looked upon as a repressive machinery of the government. Punishment, which is, throwing more people in jail rather than keeping them out of jail, is the sole instrument of crime control. The yardstick of police efficiency is more arrest. Thus, the job of the police is to arrest and put people in jail rather than keep them out of jail. 2. Modern Concept Police is an instrument for crime prevention. ·It is not only focused on criminal apprehension, but it includes social services. Objective of the police is to promote the welfare of the individual citizen as well as the society in general. The yardstick of police efficiency is the absence of crime. ……………………… … LONG QUIZ!
