Coordination by Practical/Available Means of Communication In cases where formal inter-unit coordination is not feasible, the Police Unit concerned shall endeavor to notify the territorial police office through any practical/available means of communication at any time during the operation and, if not possible, shall accomplish and furnish the territorial Police Office a written incident report immediately after the termination of the operation. 164 MODULE IV FIE L D TRA I NI N G PROG R A M FIELD TRAINING OFFICER’S GUIDE on Patrol Phase FTO’s Note: You will conduct a lecture for 45 minutes on the above topics, summarize for 15 minutes and prepare the PTs for field immersion for Six (6) hours and thirty (30) minutes. After deployment, you will conduct a debriefing on activities conducted for the whole day and shall ask the PTs about their observations on the activities conducted. You will require the PTs to study the following topics: Requirements on Police Operations and Use of Force during Police Operations. “Earth‟s crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees tak es off his shoes; The rest sit round and pluck black - berries.” ― Elizabeth Barrett Browning MODULE IV FIE L D TRA I NI N G PROG R A M 165  FIELD TRAINING OFFICER’S GUIDE on Patrol Phase Module IV TRAINING MANUSCRIPT POLICE OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES INTRODUCTION The Philippine National Police is mandated to enforce the law, prevent and control crimes, maintain peace and order and ensure public safety with the active support of the community. The patrol elements, composed of foot and mobile patrols, are the most ubiquitous members of the force and are synonymous to police presence. They are the ones who always arrive first at the scene of the crime in response to calls requiring police assistance. Being the “First Responders,” it is imperative that Patrol Officers are able to identify the relations of law, bring criminals to justice, collect and preserve pieces of evidence, and assist in the prosecution of offenders. As First Responders, Patrol Officers and other members of the force who respond to the scene of a disaster or other emergency should be guided on what to do or how to do it when faced by specific situations. Requirements of Police Operations 1. Basic Requirements Police operations like arrest, search and seizure, checkpoint, road blocks, demolition and civil disturbance management shall be conducted as follows: a. With a marked police vehicle; b. Lead by a Police Commissioned Officer (PCO); and c. With personnel in prescribed police uniform or attire. 2. Use of Megaphones and Similar Instruments During actual police intervention operations, the Team Leader shall use peaceful means including the use of megaphones or any other similar instruments to warn or influence the offender/s or suspect/s to stop and/or peacefully give up. 170 MODULE IV FIE L D TRA I NI N G PROG R A M FIELD TRAINING OFFICER’S GUIDE on Patrol Phase 3. Warning Shots Prohibited The police shall not use warning shots during police intervention operations. Use of Force During Police Operations 1. Use of Excessive Force Prohibited The excessive use of force during police operation is prohibited. However, in the lawful performance of duty, a Police Officer may use necessary force to accomplish his mandated tasks of enforcing the law and maintaining peace and order. 2. Issuance of Verbal Warning The Police Officer must first issue a verbal warning before he could use force against an offender. As far as practicable, the verbal warning shall be in the dialect that is known to the offender or in the national language. Basically the verbal warning shall consist of the following: the Police Officer identifying himself; his intention; and what he wants the offender to do. If the offender is a foreigner, the verbal warning shall be done in the English language followed by a demonstrative act of the Police Officer’s intent. The verbal warning shall be done in a loud and clear manner. 3. Non-Issuance of Verbal Warning When Excusable The failure to issue a verbal warning is excusable in cases where threat to life or property is already imminent and there is no other option but to use force to subdue the offender. 4. Use of Non-Lethal Weapon When the suspect is violent or threatening, and that less physical measures have been tried and deemed inappropriate, a more extreme, but non-deadly measure can be used such as baton/truncheon, pepper spray, stun gun, and other non-lethal weapon to bring the suspect under control, or effect an arrest. 5. Application of Necessary and Reasonable Force During confrontation with an armed offender, only such necessary and reasonable force should be applied as would be sufficient to overcome the resistance put up by the offender; subdue the clear and imminent danger posed MODULE IV FIE L D TRA I NI N G PROG R A M 171  FIELD TRAINING OFFICER’S GUIDE on Patrol Phase by him; or to justify the force/act under the principles of self-defense, defense of relative or defense of stranger. 6. Factors to Consider in the Reasonableness of the Force Employed A Police Officer, however, is not required to afford offender/s attacking him the opportunity for a fair or equal struggle. The reasonableness of the force employed will depend upon the number of aggressors, nature and characteristics of the weapon used, physical conditions, size and other circumstances to include the place and occasion of the assault. The Police Officer is given the sound discretion to consider these factors in employing reasonable force. 7. Responsibility of the Police Officer in Charge of the Operation The Police Officer who is in charge of the operation shall, at all times, exercise control over all police personnel in the area of operation, and shall exhaust all possible means to apply the necessary and reasonable force to protect lives and properties during armed confrontation. FTO’s Note: You will conduct lecture for 45 minutes on the above topics, summarize for 15 minutes and prepare the PTs for Field Immersion for 6 hours and 30 minutes. After deployment, you will conduct debriefing on activities conducted for the whole day and ask the PTs about their observations on the activities conducted. You will require the PTs to study the following topic: Use of Firearm during Police Operation. “He who denies the existence of God, has some reason for wishing that God did not exist.” ― Augustine of Hippo 172 MODULE IV FIE L D TRA I NI N G PROG R A M FIELD TRAINING OFFICER’S GUIDE on Patrol Phase Module IV TRAINING MANUSCRIPT POLICE OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES INTRODUCTION The Philippine National Police is mandated to enforce the law, prevent and control crimes, maintain peace and order and ensure public safety with the active support of the community.

As First Responders, Patrol Officers and other members of the force who respond to the scene of a disaster or other emergency should be guided on what to do or how to do it when faced by specific situations. Use of Firearm During Police Operation 1. Use of Firearm When Justified The use of firearm is justified if the offender poses imminent danger of causing death or injury to the Police Officer or other persons. The use of firearm is also justified under the doctrines of self-defense, defense of a relative, and defense of a stranger. However, one who resorts to self-defense must face a real threat on his life, and the peril sought to be avoided must be actual, imminent and real. Unlawful aggression should be present for self-defense to be considered as a justifying circumstance. 2. Firing at Moving Vehicles Prohibited but with Exceptions A moving vehicle shall not be fired upon except when its occupants pose imminent danger of causing death or injury to the Police Officer or any other person, and that the use of firearms does not create a danger to the public and outweighs the likely benefits of its non-use. MODULE IV FIE L D TRA I NI N G PROG R A M 177  FIELD TRAINING OFFICER’S GUIDE on Patrol Phase 3. Parameters to be Considered in Firing at Moving Vehicles In firing at a moving vehicle, the following parameters should be considered: a. The intent of the suspect/s to harm the Police Officer or other persons; b. The capability of the suspect/s to harm with certainty the Police Officer or other persons; and c. Accessibility or the proximity of the suspect/s from the Police Officer and other persons. 4. Filing of an Incident Report After the Use of Firearms A Police Officer who fires his service firearms or weapon during a confrontation with an offender or offenders must submit an incident report outlining the circumstances necessitating the use of his firearm. 5. Procedures After an Armed Confrontation Immediately after an armed confrontation, the officer who is in charge of the operation shall: a. Secure the site of the confrontation; b. Take photographs; c. Check whether the situation poses imminent danger; d. Evaluate the wounded to the nearest hospital; e. Ensure that all persons who died on the spot are not moved from their original position; f. Arrested suspects should be kept in isolation; g. Conduct debriefing on all involved PNP operatives; h. Submit After-Operation Report; and i. Ensure psychological stress counseling for all involved PNP operatives. 178 MODULE IV FIE L D TRA I NI N G PROG R A M FIELD TRAINING OFFICER’S GUIDE on Patrol Phase FTO’s Note: You will conduct lecture for 45 minutes on the above topics, summarize for 15 minutes and prepare the PTs for Field Immersion for 6 hours and 30 minutes.
