Transcripts
okay so this is law enforcement
organization and administration
interagency
approach this is
leia one as you
might know already there are six subject
areas in your
in the criminology board exam
um
law criminal sociology
corrections
criminalistics and investigation
so leia
is usually part of day one
after
young
okay
so let's start
police and finish on an evolution of
police so police is the agency of a
community or government that is
responsible for enforcing the law
maintaining public order and preventing
and detecting
crimes you might know this already
police or other
or members of other government
government agencies
okay so in ordinary communication the
word police can be used interchangeably
with law enforcement
agencies strictly speaking however it is
not accurate to interchange the terms
police and law enforcement agency
because the law enforcement agency is
broder siguro young law enforcement
agency
conditions filipina sapi
enforcing the law maintaining public
order preventing and detecting friends
it includes other agencies under the
executive branch of the government in
charge of the execution
or enforcement of laws as for instance
the bureau of internal revenue or vir
enforces tax
laws so there are three branches of the
government we have the executive the
judiciary and the legislative
legislative it is responsible for
creating laws
then the judiciary
and we have the executive branch of the
government it is
the
enforcer of the law tagapad
they are law enforcers because they
actually enforce the different types of
laws
specifically
for maintaining
it or public order
okay
so take note the concentration of this
handbook
is the philippine national police
it is also
part of the executive branch of the
government because it also enforces laws
so how can the police how can the word
police be used as a noun
and a verb
familiar noun and verb so
uh nouns are names specific names and
verbs
are action words so the term police may
be used as a noun and as a verb as a
noun refer to
the first paragraph of this question as
a verb it refers to the act of
maintaining discipline or ensuring
that the rules must be observed
for example
i want to become a police someday so
young police
hence if students go outside their
school for a field trip their teacher
usually cautions them to remain
disciplined by telling them to police
themselves
okay so again the term police can be
used as a noun and as a verb
familiar
cjs
have you heard of it
the philippine criminal justice system
okay
so
you might
have learned this already na merong le
mang
pillar and criminal justice system
and the very first one is the police so
what are the different police activities
so they first present prime prevention
of crime is intended to
prevent root causes of crime
in a broader sense
for example
uh
okay
so that's one prevention of crime
another is repression or suppression of
crime
uh reducing the opportunity of
committing a crime like the act of
conducting patrol it's a prevention of
crime young letter a
ini iwasani
uh third is the apprehension of
offenders apprehending offenders is also
known as arresting
offenders
and then conduct
search and seizure
it is
a
part of the philippine constitution that
in order for you to
uh
wait
in order for you to wave that
uh right
nah embodied in the philippine
constitution telangana
okay and then investigation of crime of
course
that is one of the main
jobs of the police officer to conduct
investigation of crime so
crime scene investigators at the young
members nang sofa team or nank
laboratory
investigators nanasa station
hoodies from
uh stations
they also conduct
uh investigation of crime
and
the protection of lives and
properties
okay so take note in memorizing the
different police activities just do not
forget the acronym
so p stands for prevention r for
repression
uh a stands for apprehension or arrest
s stands for search i stands for
investigation and he stands for
protection
so it must be stressed further that the
enumeration only presents the simplified
police activities for the complete list
of the powers and functions of the
philippine national police so refer to
section 24
of ra 6975
um
ra 6975 is the dilg act
of 1981
okay
later on
uh parts
are a6975
okay so how did the term police evolve
so it was derived from the roman word
felicia
highlander
okay
which means the condition of a state
government and administration
then the word
felicia originated from the greek word
which means a group of persons that
governs
a city
a group of persons that refers a cd
it was the french who translated the
word policia to police to refer to a law
enforcer
and uh french
okay
is a roman word which means condition of
a state government and administration it
originated from the word polite
and it means a group of persons
that governs
the filipinos
further translated the term police in a
way for it to be compatible in the
manner they pronounce and spell words
so the word police
police came out hence policemen
know their jobs well so that the other
term
foolish will not be introduced as a
description of the members of the
philippine national police
okay the term police is not the same
with policeman police refers to the
agency
refers to the person employed in that
agency
and then the former is a juridical
person
this one is the juridical person while
the latter
the
policeman is a natural person so you
might ask anub juridical person
so when we say juridical person it is a
being of legal existence susceptible of
rights and legal obligations or a be in
subject of juridical
relations it refers to a corporation
partnership association entity
and the like for example jollibee
corporation it's a juridical person
okay
angeles university foundation is also a
juridical person
it is a being of legal existence
okay
and a natural person
refers to a human being i'm a natural
person
okay so preliminaries fundamental
theories of police service there are two
fundamental theories of police service
first is the continental theory
so under the continental theory
policemen are considered as servants of
higher authorities and the people have
little or no share at all in their
duties nor have any direct connection
with them this prevails in countries
like france italy and spain where the
governmental structure follows the
centralization
pattern
an example of a police force that
adhered to continental theory was the
japanese imperial army called
kempetai
japanese imperial army
which was organized and existed from
1881 to 1945.
a member of it was
so this imperial army was tasked to
perform functions of the military police
for the imperial japanese navy
under the direction of the admiralty
minister so that's
continental
theory
for continental theory
then we have the home rule theory so
policemen are considered as servants of
the community
who depend on their effectiveness in
performing their functions this is
practice in england and in the united
states where the governmental structure
is decentralized
theory
so the one observer in the philippines
is the home rule theory this is because
our police officers are always claiming
that they are servants of the community
public servant
they serve the public they serve the
community
the community depends upon the
effectiveness of our police officers and
that the philippines has local
government structure
instituted through a system of
decentralization
so what is the distinction between a
decentralized government and a
centralized government
in the centralized government the
decision-making is delegated to the
local government while in centralized
government the decision-making is
exercised by the central government in
other words in centralized form of
government the authority of the local
government
is very limited unlike in the
centralized form of
government
and then
fundamental concepts of police service
so we have
two
the old concept and the modern concept
so under the old concept the public look
at policemen to be more effective if
they can conduct numerous arrests and
put behind bars what they have arrested
the more the merrier
while in the modern concept
the public look at policeman as more
effective in the absence
of crime
you know modern concept police functions
are not limited to the act of arresting
offenders
or to other matters dealing with
offenders police functions at present
include public service
pc or public
uh communi
community relations
so the philippine national police at
present is under the modern concept this
manifest in the fact that our policemen
are calling themselves as public
servants
so
effective and police
and that's it for today
