Introduction to law enforcement organization** **2. Introduction** **3. Learning Outcome** The students are expected to: - Discuss the background of policing and how it was developed in the world - Explain the various theory, philosophy, and principles behind law enforcement service - Determine significant events in the evolution of the Philippine police services - Explain the elements/principles of organization - Illustrate the various types of organizational structure **4. Learning Content** **DEFINITION OF POLICE ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION** - ***Police Organization*** is a structured group of trained personnel dealt with achieving the goal of protecting life and property, ensuring public safety and maintaining peace and order. - ***Police Administration*** is simply referring to police in action which includes the cooperative human effort to achieve the purposes of the Criminal Justice System. **ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD POLICE** **Origin and Definition of the word "Police"** The word "**[Police]**" originated from the ***[Greek]*** Word "***[Politeia]***" which means government, citizenship, or the entire activity of a polis -- a city. ***[Roman]*** changed it from Politeia to "***[Politia]***" -- a Roman Word meaning condition of a state, government and administration. ***[French]*** changed the word from Politia to "***[Police]***" -- a French Word which means: **POLICE** It is an agency of a community or government that is responsible for ***enforcing the law, maintaining public order, and preventing and detecting crimes***. **Law Enforcement** 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 LAW. POLICE v.s POLICEMEN **POLICE*-*** REFERS TO THE AGENCY/ ORGANIZATION OF THE PNP. **POLICEMAN**- Refers to the Person who employed in that Agency. ***What are the Different Police activities*** 1\. Prevention of Crimes 2\. Repression and Suppression of Crime 3\. Apprehension of Offenders 4\. Conduct Search and Seizure 5\. Investigation Of Crimes 6\. Protection of Lives and Property **Organization -**A Group of persons working together for a common goal or objectives -A form of human association for the attainment of Goal or Objective. **Police Organization-** A Group of trained personnel in the field of public safety administration engaged in the achievement of goals and objectives that promotes the maintenance of peace and order, protection of life and property, enforcement of the laws and prevention of crimes. **Ancient History of Police**: **Medjays--** a civil police headed by *[Egyptian military officer]* and the *[1^st^ group to use Police Dogs]* on Patrol. **Vigiles** -- a *[civilian in Rome armed with slaves and short sword]* to maintain peace and to fight fires. **Anglo-Saxon** -- a member of the *[Germanic tribes]* which settled in England in the 5^th^ Century A.D. and the *[1^st^ to conquer England]*. **HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF POLICING** The idea of policing originated from the use of military bodies as guardians of peace in ancient Rome known as Praetorian Guards. ***1. Anglo-Saxon Period (Ancient England)*** **a. Frankpledge (mutual pledge system)-** under this system, ***every male over 12 years old*** join 9 of his neighbor to form a tithingmen who are tasked to apprehend any person who offends another and delivers him for trial. -A ***Constable*** served as a leader of ten tythings. -The *[primary task of the things was to protect their village from thieves and animals ]* Take 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 of twenty - one (21) and not all male residents are required to do police works. (Sec 14 Of RA 8551) -Things were later organized into SHIRES -A SHIRE was headed by a leader called SHIRE REEVE, which is the origin of the word " sheriff" -Their duty was to apprehend **b. PARISH CONSTABLE** \- A parish official charged with controlling crimes -appointed to serve for one year \- duties included organizing watchmen to guard the gates **Tun Policing-** required all male residents to guard the town to preserve peace and order, protect the life and property of the people, and suppress other factors affecting peace and order. Tun was the forerunner of the word \"town.\" Take Note: Tun Policing System is not being followed at present because not all male residents are required to do police works. **Hue and cry-** was carried out by a victim of a crime to **shout** for help at the middle of the community. Once heard by male residents, they automatically assemble to apprehend the perpetrator. Take 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 we are capacitated to do so, already deteriorated. a system of apprehending criminals whereby a complainant goes to the middle of the community and shouts to call all male residents to assemble and arrest the suspect. An ancient saxon practice that invaders brought to England. When a person commits a crime or a felon escaped and it was detected, an ***[alarm was sounded, through the use of the oldest known warning device, the HORN]***. As they heard the sound all residents must help to capture the captives and when find guilty punishment follow. Anybody who will not help in the pursuit of the felon shall be considered as part of the escaping felon and shall also be punished. **Royal judge**- The Royal Judge conducts criminal investigation and gives appropriate punishment for the crime committed. Take 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 and impose the proper penalty in case of conviction; **Trial by ordeal**- a system of determining guilt of a suspect by undergoing an ordeal such as placing his hand in boiling water, not having been hurt means that he is innocent, otherwise, he is guilty. It is the process of actually inflicting pain to all suspects purposely to determine who the real suspect is. It is a belief that ***[if you are guilty God will not save you and if you are not guilty God will save you]*** miraculously regardless of what ordeal. The word "Ordeal" was derived from the medieval latin word "***[Dei Indicum]***" which means ***" a miraculous decision***" Take 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. **Thanes Policing System --** it was introduced by King Alfred the great where ***[landowners acted as the internal police of their own territory]*** having the power to arrest offenders and settle civil litigations. Take Note: The Thanes Policing System is not being followed at present in the Philippines because landowners are not empowered to settle civil litigations. They may however conduct arrest under any of the circumstances of warrantless arrest under Section 5, Rule 113 of the Rules of Court. ***2. Norman Period*** ***Shire Reeve System***- England was divided into 55 military districts known as shire-reeve. Shire was the district while reeve was the ruler. It was the forerunner of the word sheriff. "**[Shire]**" refers to a ***[district]*** in England while "**Rieve**" refers to the ***[head of a district]*** which later **change to** "***[Sheriff]***".- a Person which absolute powers that no one could questions his or her actions. Rieve was the ruler who makes laws, pass judgment and impose punishment. He was assisted by a **[Constable]** (***[forerunner of the word constabulary]***). William Norman divided England into 55 shires or district and each headed by a Rieve. Take 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 exclusive power of the Judiciary. Court Leet- To handle local legal matters in some, but all, communities, the Normans established the \"Court Leet,\" which looked after matters of purely local interest and petty village nuisances. The head of the Court Leet was the \"Comes Stable,\" which means \"Master of the House\". The Comes Stable was also appointed by the King to be responsible in keeping peace and order in a specific area. ***Traveling judge***- responsible in hearing cases taken from the shire reeve due to some abuses. It was the forerunner of circuit trial court judge*[. It refers to the person responsible in giving judgment. He travels to pass any judgment coming from a certain ruler to another district or shire where the offender resides.]* ***Legis Henrie (Henry)***- a law enacted which classified offenses against the king and the individuals, made by policemen public officials, empowered police and ***citizens to conduct arrest*** and assigned ***grand jury*** to inquire on facts of law. Together with their comparison with the Philippine policing system present, were the following: 1. The law violations were classified as offenses against the King. Take Note: At present, the crimes in the Philippines are considered assault against the state so the title of criminal cases goes this way: People of the Philippines Versus (Name of the Accused). 2. The policemen were considered as public officials: Take note: The criminal law of the Philippines at present considers our policemen as public officials. If Public officer is assaulted on occasion by reason of his official function, the crime committed is Direct assault. However, if that public officer is assaulted not on occasion nor by reason of his official function. The crime committed is Physical injuries (Art. 148, 149 263-266 of the RPC). 3\. The policemen and citizens were given the power to conduct arrest. 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 bridge and gates to check the people entering and leaving the town or cities. Take Note: At present in the Philippine setting, the President is guarded by a special unit called the Presidential Security Group (PSG). To be specific, the following are the missions of the PSG: 1. Conduct personal protection and close -in security to the president, First Family, the visiting head of states and other foreign dignitaries and head of government. 2. To conduct and provide assistance to AFP and PNP in its anti-organized crime undertakings as per orders of the president. 3\. To conduct community service efforts to local communities and assist the government in raising the standard of living for the Filipino people; and 4\. Maintain and secure all facilities and transportation assets used by the Office of the President and Vice President in doing its regular and non-regular functions. ***Magna Carta***- "*[Great Charter]*" document sealed by *[King John]* of England that became law upon the demand of the knights of the round table which stated that, no person shall be tried of *[no freeman shall be imprisoned except by legal judgment]* murder unless *[there is proof of the body of the victim]* and [there should be a national and local government and legislation]. ***[King john of England]***- considered as the "***worst king in the History***" Take Note: The three declarations of Magna Carta enumerated above are still being observed in the Philippines at present. Consider the following: 1\. In the Philippines, no person shall be deprived of his life, liberty...or property without due process of law. (Sec 1, Art3 of the Philippine Constitution) 2\. In the Philippines, the body of the victim may be the best evidence to prove that a crime of murder was committed; and A murder case may, however, still be proved by any other evidence aside from the body of the victim. The body of the victim is not, however, the same with the body of a crime. The body of a crime is defined as the facts and circumstances which prove that a crime was really committed. A body of a victim shows that a crime of murder was committed but an accused may still be held liable for the crime of murder even if the body of the victim is not located. **3. Westminster Period** During Westminster period in England, the following policing systems were practiced: **a. statute of Winchester** (1285 - 1500)- The Statute of Winchester was enacted introducing the system of Watch and Ward. Take Note: In the Philippines, it depends upon the barangay, municipal or city government to enact a system of watch and ward by means of employ the tanods or the barangay police to patrol especially at night. This authority of the local governments is a way of giving them local autonomy. **b. statute of 1295** The Statute of 1295 introduced the closure of gates of London. This start the observation of curfew hours. Take Note: In Philippine setting, curfew is being imposed or not depending upon an ordinance passed by the local government. Violation of curfew hours, in most cases, is only committed by minors. Said violation is considered as a Status Offense. Status Offenses refer to those which discriminate only a child, while an adult does not suffer any penalty for committing similar acts. These include curfew violations, truancy, parental disobedience, and the like. (Sec. 4 of RA 9344) - The law that mark the beginning of the curfew hours, which demanded the closing of the gates of London during sundown. - This initiated the closing of the gates of London during sunset - It stated the observation of the ***[curfew hours]*** **c. Justice of the peace** - Three or four men who were learned in the law of the land were given authority to pursue **arrest,** chastise and ***imprison violators of law***. - They handled felonies, misdemeanors and infractions of city or villages ordinances. This was later abolished about 75 years later. - **This was a position given to the respected *[civilians]* to have the *[power to arrest]****[,]* pursue, and imprison offenders. d. **Star Chamber Court (1487)** - Initially established as a special court *[that tried offenders against the state.] The room set-up is formed in a shape of a star and judges were given great powers such as the power to force testimony from a defendant leading to a great abuse of power or brutality on the part of the judges.* - Later, became both a court of law to determine civil rights and a court of revenue to enrich treasury - e. ***The Merchant Police (1500)*** f. ***The Parochial Police*** **4. Modern Period ( modern policing system )** During the Modern Period in England, the following policing systems were practiced: **a. Night watchmen or bellmen** - They were deployed for duty from sunset to sunrise. - King Charles II (1633)- King Charles Il passed a law that provided for the employment of Night Watchmen or Bellmen to be on duty from sunset to sunrise. Night Watchmen or Bellmen were known as Rattle watch because they carried rattles while on duty to inform the public of their watchful presence. **b. Bow Street Runner (thief catchers)** - It was organized by Henry Fielding in London - Formed the ***[Bow Street Horse Patrol]*** whose duty was to patrol the main roads and secure the travelers from highway bandits. - Henry Fielding (1740)- Henry Fielding became the chief magistrate at Bow Street in London. He organized a group of men known as Bow Street Runners (Thief catchers). He later formed the Bow Street Horse Patrol whose duty was to patrol the main roads thereby securing travelers from highway bandits. ***[Bow Street Runners]*** -a group of men organized to arrest offenders. **William Pitt** (1785)- In 1785, William Pitt presented a bill in the British Parliament calling for the creation of a police force in London. This proposal met with instant opposition. Pitt argued that this new force would be responsible for the apprehension of criminals and crime prevention that would be the formal continuation of the mandate of the Bow Street Runners. After considerable opposition to the proposed police force for London and charges that it would be used to strengthen the very centralist authoritarian government, William Pitt\'s bill was withdrawn. **Sir Robert Peel** (1829)- Sir Robert Peel introduced the Metropolitan Act which was passed by the Parliament of England. The enactment of said law led to the creation of the Metropolitan Police Force of London, which was viewed as the ***first world\'s first organized uniformed police force.*** This force was later on named as the Scotland Yard. Being the originator and the first head of such police organization, Sir Robert Peel has earned the title \"***Father of Modern Policing System.\"*** The important plan of Sir Robert Peel was the ***separation of policing and judiciary***. He believed that the authority of the police shall be only up to the prosecution of crimes. The trial of crimes must be left to the hands of another agency of the government which is the judiciary. **Take Note**: The said plan of Sir Robert Peel was adopted at present in the Philippines. The criminal justice system of the Philippines is composed of the Law enforcement, the Prosecution, the Court, the Correction, and the Community. These pillars are separate and distinct from each other but they are helping one another in the administration of justice. **c. London Metropolitan Police of act 1829** - It was established by Sir Robert Peel in 1829 which became the world's first modern organized police force; (metropolitan Police Service) - Later called as ***Scotland Yard*** - *The headquarters of the metropolitan Police Service iS the SCOTLAND YARD, NOW known as the NEW SCOTLAND YARD.* In 1829, Sir Robert Peel introduced the Metropolitan Police Act passed by the parliament of England-the milestone of England\'s police force. Sir Robert Peel become famous and was considered as the Father of Modern Policing System. The important plan of Sir Robert Peel was the **separation of policing and judiciary**. He believed that the authority of the police shall be only up to the prosecution of crimes. The trial of crimes must be left to the hands of another agency of the government which is the judiciary. Take Note: The said plan of Sir Robert Peel was adopted at present in the Philippines. The criminal justice system of the Philippines is composed of the Law enforcement, the Prosecution, the Court, the Correction, and the Community. These pillars are separate and distinct from each other but they are helping one another in the administration of justice. **1. the Police should be Organized along Military lines.** **2. the Police should be place under screening and training.** **3. the Police should be hired on a probationary basis ( probationary means not regular, rather under screening )** **4. the police should be deployed by time and by area** **5. Police headquarters should be accessible to the people** **6. Police -record keeping is essential** **PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION BY ROBERT PEEL** - A stable effective military organization of civic police under government control; - Absence of crime would be the best proof of the efficiency of the police; - Fast distribution of crime news to all the police was essential; - The proper territorial distribution of the forces according to hours and shift must be accomplished; - No qualification more indispensable to a police officer than the perfect command of temper since a quiet and determined manner has more effect, and commands more respects , than violent action; - Good appearance commands respects; - Proper selection and training is the basis of efficiency; - Public safety requires that every police officer be given a distinguishing number**.** **The nine (9) Principles of Sir Robert Peel for his police force, comparing it with the Philippine policing system at present:** 1\. To prevent crimes and disorders, as an alternative to their repression by military force and by severity of legal punishment; ***Take note*:** By the express provision of the law in the Philippines at present, the PNP adopted this principle. The DILG, where the PNP belongs. Shall be relieved of the primary responsibility on matters involving the suppression of insurgency and other serious threats to national security. However, the Philippine National Police shall, through information gathering and performance of its ordinary police functions, support the Armed Forces except in cases where the President shall call on PNP to support the AFP in combat operations. (Sec 3 of RA 8551). 2\. To recognize always that the power of the members of police to fulfill their function and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behavior, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect; 3\. To recognize always that to secure and maintain the respect and approval of the public means also the securing of the willing cooperation of the public in the task of securing observance of laws; 4\. To recognize always that the extent to which the cooperation of the public can be secured diminishes, proportionately, the necessity of the use of physical force and compulsion for achieving police objectives; 5\. To seek and preserve public favor, not by pandering to public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolutely impartial service to law, in complete independence of policy and without regard to the justice or injustices of the substance of individual laws; by readily offering individual service and friendship to all members of the public without regard to their wealth or social standing by readily exercising courtesy and friendly good humor: and by readily offering sacrifice in protecting and preserving life; 6\. To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give fulltime attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen, in the interests of community, welfare and existence; ***Take Note***: To have an effective coordination between the law enforcement and the public, the Police Community Relations Office of the PNP was established. The Police Community Relations is defined as the sum total of dealings of the police with the people it serves and whose goodwill and cooperation it craves for to insure the greatest possible efficiency in public service. To further develop a closer interaction between the community and the police in handling peace and order problems, the National Police Commission prescribed guidelines for the annual nationwide observance of the Police Community Relations Month which is the month of January. (NAPOLCOM Memorandum Order No 2008- 012). 7\. To use physical force only when the persuasion, advice, and warning is to found to be insufficient to be obtain public cooperation to an extent necessary to secure observance of law or to restore order; and to use only the occasion for achieving a police objective. ***Take Note***: By the express provision of the Rules of Court of the Philippines, no violence or unnecessary force shall be used in making an arrest. The Police Operational Procedure also mandates every PNP personnel to observe maximum tolerance. 8\. to recognize always the need for strict adherence to police executive functions and to refrain from even seeming to usurp the powers of the judiciary or avenging individuals or the state, and of authoritatively judging guilt and punishing the guilty ***Take Note***: The government of the Philippines at present, is consisted of three branches namely the Executive that executes laws, the Legislative that makes laws, and the Judiciary that interprets laws. Each is independent from others. In other words, no one of them must encroach the powers of other branches. The Philippine National Police is within the Executive branch. 9\. To recognize always that the test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, and not the visibility of police action in dealing with them. ***Take Note***: The Philippines at present adheres with the Modern Concept of Policing System. Under the Modern Concept, the public look at policemen as more effective in the absence of crime because police functions are not limited to arresting offenders or to other matters dealing with offenders. Police functions at present include public service. (In summary, all the nine (9) Principles of Sir Robert Peel for his police force were adopted and are being observed in the Philippines) **5. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA** **a. New York Police Department --** Created in 1845 in New York, USA. -Recognized as the first Modern style police department in the US. " ***The LARGEST POLICE FORCE IN THE WORLD*** " \- Modeled after the Metropolitan Police Service of London ***b. BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT*** -the ***["Oldest Police Department in The US]***." ,The first night watch was established in Boston in 1631. formally founded in May ,1854. ***AUGUST VOLLMER*** -- Recognized as the "**Father of Modern Law Enforcement**" for his contributions in the development of the field of criminal justice in the US. Autor of the book, Police Administration. Which served as the basic guide in the administration of the Police organization in the US. Was the first Police chief of Berkely , California. ***[Important Personalities in the Evolution of Philippine Policing]*** **Brig.Gen. Rafael Crame-** The first Filipino Chief of the Philippine Constabulary **Col. Antonio Torres-** The first Filipino Chief of Police of the Manila Police Department in 1935. **Col. Lambert Javalera-** The First chief of Police of the Manila Police Department after the Philippine Independence from the United states of America in 1946. **Dir.Gen. Cesar Nazareno**- The first chief of the Philippine National Police. FUNDAMENTAL THEORIES OF POLICE SERVICE ***[Continental Theory]*** -- Police officers are ***considered servants of the higher authorities*** and the people have little or no share at all in their duties, nor any direct connection with them. This theory prevails among continental countries, like France, Italy, Spain, where the governmental structure follows the centralized pattern. ***[Home-Rule Theory]*** -- Police officers are considered ***as servants of the community*** who depend for the effectiveness of their functions upon the express wishes of the people. In this theory, police officers are civil employees whose primary duty is the preservation of public peace and security. This is practiced in England and in United States of America, where the governmental structure is decentralized. **CONCEPTS OF POLICE SERVICE** ***[Old Concept]*** -- police service is looked upon the police as merely as repressive machinery. This old philosophy means throwing more people in jail rather than keeping them out of jail. Under this concept, punishment is the sole instrument of crime control. The yardstick of efficiency of the police is more arrest. **[Modern Concept]** -- police service considers the police as an organ of crime prevention. Police service today has broadened its activities to include certain aspects of social service and has for its objective the welfare of the individual as well as that of the society. Under this philosophy, the yardstick of efficiency of the police. **Early policing system** **1.KIN POLICING** -- The family of the offended individual was expected to assume responsibility for Justice **.*The family of the victim was allowed to exact vengeance.*** **2. Egypt -**Ancient rulers had elite unit to protect them \- Created the ***MEDJAYS***; a form of police force whose duties include guarding of the tombs and apprehending thieves. -***they introduced the use of Dogs as guard and protectors***. **3. ROME** \- created the first organized police force called VIGILES OF ROME, or VIGILES URBANI (watchmen of the city), which had the primary task of *[firefighting and policing]* \- the ***Vigiles acted as night watch, apprehending thieves***, keeping an eye out for burglars and hunting down [runaway slaves], and were on occasion used maintain order in the streets \- the Vigiles dealt primarily with petty crimes and looked for disturbances of the peace while they patrolled the streets. -created a special unit called ***PRAETORIAN GUARDS***, (means Personal guards) a special force of guards used by Roman Emperors as the Emperor's personal guards. -as a personal guards of the Emperor, their primary duty was to protect the Emperor from assassination and other forms of attack against Emperor. **EVOLUTION OF PHILIPPINE POLICE SERVICE** **Spanish Regime** 1. **The Guardrilleros** (1836)-- This was body of rural police organized in each town and established by the Royal Decree of January 8, 1836. This Act provided that 5% of the able-bodied male inhabitants of each province were to be enlisted in this police organization for 3 years tour of duty. 2. **Carabineros de Seguridad Publica** -- This was organized in 1712 for the purpose of carrying out the regulations of the department of state. It was armed with carbines. In 1781, it was given the special commission of government custodian of the tobacco monopoly. By Royal Decree of December 20, 1842, it was organized and called CUERPO DE CARABINEROS DE SEGURIDAD PUBLICA, hence, its duties become police like and more general. 3. **The Guardia Civil (1852)** -- this was created by a ***Royal decree issued by the Crown*** on February 12, 1852 to partially relieve the Spanish Peninsular troops of their work in policing towns. They were **under the Governor or Alcalde** and they had bright and showy uniform, distinctively prominent insignia, and rigidly maintained military bearing. **Significant developments in Philippine setting during and after the American occupation** The significant developments in Philippine setting during and after the American occupation are the following: ***a.
