2. Patrolling is considered as the backbone of any police unit. It is the
key in promoting crime prevention operations as well as in improving our
police image and proficiency. In fact, the PNP dictum on maximum police
visibility before the community is part of police patrolling. The hood to
upgrade and improve our preferential consideration.
Throughout their careers, Philippine National Police personnel will
spend endless hours patrolling in vehicles or on foot and will be regularly
exposed to dangerous situations and circumstances.
Patrol officers are constantly in the view of the public and offer the
first line of defense against criminal activity, man-made hazards and the
ravages of nature. It is imperative that the police demonstrate a good
example and treat citizens with respect which, in turn, will reflect upon the
individual themselves, the Philippine National Police, the government and
the country.
INTRODUCTION

3. The purpose of this module is to provide the participants with an
overview of the course and give them the guidelines and procedures of the
Police Patrol.
The aims and objectives of this topic are but to prepare all PNP
officers how to be more effective and responsive in their duties and
responsibilities as patrol officers and to properly prepare for and competently
perform duty as a patrol member and leader in patrol training exercises and
in or during actual combat patrol. Our study will reinforce our stock
knowledge, understanding and managerial capabilities and expertise in
police patrolling.
The small unit leader is shown how to plan, prepare and conduct
police patrols.
PURPOSE
IMPORTANCE OF
PATROL
If you are to lead a Police Patrol, you need to know the basics
regarding your duties and responsibilities as the Patrol Officer.

4. All aspects of the planning preparation and conduct of police patrols
are contained/defined here in, ranging from the responsibilities of the Chief
of Police/Unit Chief to the actions of patrol members.
The principles discussed apply to patrols of all types and sizes
including its importance. The technique discussed are those generally
applicable to all situations.
The class must use their imagination and ingenuity to adapt these
techniques to his/her own special situation and strive to develop new and
better techniques for conducting police patrolling operations.
SCOPE

5. A patrol is a team dispatch from a police unit purposely to maintain
peace and order and public safely in a designated place or beat. Patrol
members are presumed to be knowledgeable on matters pertaining to how
to conduct patrolling operations, as well as their powers, duties and
responsibilities and limitations. Ordinarily, police patrolling is conducted to
bolster our crime prevention programs.
In counter-insurgency operation and/or in combat patrol, a patrol is a
detachment sent out from a unit to perform a specific reconnaissance or
combat mission, or a combination of both. It is ideally suited for
unconventional warfare and extensively used in anti-dissident operations.
The requirements of the mission determine the size, organization, equipment
and weapons of a police patrol. A police is always “tailored” for the mission it
is to execute.
WHAT IS A PATROL?

6. Basically, police patrols can be divided into two (2) categories:
Preventive and Apprehension Patrol
Preventive Patrol is based on the theory that people will be
less likely to commit a crime if they can see the police or know that they are
present.
Apprehension Patrol is based on the theory that people
are less likely to commit a crime if they do not know the location of the
police, and are thereby are unable to predict when the police will appear.
Types of PATROL?

7. The objectives of any patrol is to repress or prevent
criminal activities; to investigate offenses and other matters that
have been reported to the police; to apprehend, or otherwise
bring offenders to justice by serving citations and, to provide a
law enforcement service to the people of the community.
OBJECTIVE OF PATROL?

8. It is important that all personnel who will undertake a
police patrol are aware of their own duties and responsibilities
Patrol Responsibilities can be categorized into three (3)
groups:
1. Core Responsibilities
2. Courtesy Service Responsibilities
3. Personal Responsibilities
Responsibilities of Personnel on Patrol Duty

9. These responsibilities describes the core or central functions of the
Philippine National Police
 Prevention of Crimes and Offences
 Prevention of Accidents
 Identification of hazards to the public
 Response to emergency calls
 Investigation of Crimes
 Traffic direction and control
 Enforcing the Law
 Maintenance of Public Order
 Development of good relationship between citizens and the police
 Reporting of information to other police units and divisions as necessary
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

10. These responsibilities that are important set of duties which are required to
be carried out by the police
 Assistance in locating government services
 Assistance in medical emergencies
 Delivery of emergency messages and
death notifications
 Assistance in the location of missing persons
 Giving of directions and information
 To assist the members of the
public in any matters that may
not be considered core responsibilities
COURTESY SERVICE RESPONSIBILITIES

11. These responsibilities describes the core or central functions of the
Philippine National Police
 Have a smart appearance and a proper bearing
 Do not loiter around the station or in the street
 Be friendly, respectful, and courteous to all citizens
 Do not lean against anything or put your hands in your pockets
 Diligently and alertly patrol your area
 Be on the look out for opportunities to assist people
 Be properly equipped with issued firearms, baton, handcuffs, etc.
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITIES

12.  Use of Cover - Use of cover limits the suspect the ability to harm us.
 Threat Cues – 2 categories; 1. Warning signs 2. Danger signs
 Time/Distance Ratio - The greater the distance, the more time there
is to react.
 1 + 1 Rule – Do not presume that because you have one suspect in
view that there is not another one.
 Verbalization – One of the most effective tools when used properly.
Voice tone and inflection can be used to control a person’s actions.
 De-escalation – Do not use language that is likely to inflame the
situation. When a suspect has stopped resisting then alter your control
techniques.
 Win Mentality – Give yourself a mental commitment to never give
up.
The SEVEN Tactical Principles of Police Patrol

13.  When patrolling, the following guidelines if followed, will increase the
effectiveness of police patrol and help to ensure the safety of the police
personnel who are undertaking the patrol.
 Always keep in contact with dispatch it is your lifeline!
 Open an honest dialogue with your partner. Having mutual trust in
each others ability is the key to having a good working relationship.
 Change your patrol habits and avoid routines.
 Patrol slowly enough to see everything but not so slow as to hold up
traffic.
 Check as many cars and people as possible. This shows that criminal
that you are alert.
 Visit shop keepers, banks, cafes, etc. in order to get to know the
owners and the people who frequently visits these places.
 Do not be afraid to go on foot patrol – safety permitting.
Patrol Guidelines

14.  When answering Non-Emergency Calls:
 Tell dispatch you are attending the call
 Considered not using emergency lights or sirens
 Drive normally and in a safe fashion
 Inform dispatch when at the scene
 When answering Emergency Calls:
 Tell dispatch you are attending the call
 Use emergency lights
 Use sirens if it is appropriate
 Adopt a defensive driving technique to ensure the safety of you
and your colleague and other road users
 Inform dispatch when at scene
Patrol Guidelines

15. 1. It is very vital in crime prevention operations.

a. Police patrol operations deter opportunity to commit crime.
b. Organized and syndicated crimes operations will avoid police patrol.
c. Criminals or offenders have that instinct to avoid police patrol.
d. The community will appreciate effective and responsive police actions.
2. It is substantially the investigative duties and responsibilities of the police unit.
a. To save lives and property.
b. Secure and protect properly the crime scene.
c. Usually arrest or apprehend the suspect (s).
d. Conduct initial interview and interrogation to victim (s), witness (es) and
even the suspect (s) prior to the arrival of the investigators.

scene as well as to the physical evidence found therein based on his/her
observation, description and identification methods and analysis.
f. Assist in the collection, identification, prevention and tagging of evidence.
g. Perform other duties and functions as requested by investigator (s).
IMPORTANCE OF POLICE PATROLS

16. 3. In combat patrol operations, its aims or objectives are to eliminate and capture
enemy forces; destroy its lairs or camps including its vital facilities and installations,
seize their armaments, ammunitions, supplies and resources; and curtail (enemy)
movements and operations.
a. Intensify police combat patrol operations.
b. Reinforce police intelligence tactical operations.
c. Conduct raids, ambushes, searches and seizures operations to known or
identified targets (enemy forces).
d. Sanitize and recon regularly its AOR but not to established pattern.
e. Strengthen rapport and linkages to all friendly forces most specially to the
community people, non-government organizations or clubs, and also to
local and national government officials.
f. Police patrols are limited only by the ingenuity with which they are
employed and the skill and aggressiveness of their members.
g. Police patrols are especially valuable in anti-dissident operations and if it
is aggressively conducted in AOR, then for sure it wills greatly reduce the
dissident’s freedom of movements, hampers their operations, and
ultimately weakens their influence on the local population.
IMPORTANCE OF POLICE PATROLS

17. A. Command Responsibility
1. COPs/ Unit Chiefs at all levels, from squad leader up, are
responsible for:
a. Plans and preparation
b. Police patrolling orientation and training
c. Coordination
d. Support
e. Supervision
2. COPs/ Unit Chiefs dispatching police patrols are also
responsible for-
a. Giving clear and direct instructions or briefing.
b. Formulations of police patrol mission.
c. Issuance of necessary orders to patrol leaders.
d. Establishment of appropriate control measures.
e. Dissemination of valuable information(s) obtained by
patrols and other credible sources.
PATROLLING RESPONSIBILITIES:

18. 3. COPs/Unit Chiefs providing patrols are also responsible for :
a. Proper selection of police patrol leader(s).
b. Conducting final inspection on weapons and necessities.
c. Give appropriate guidance and instructions.
d. Assisting higher, co-level and lower commanders
including police patrol leaders in every way possible.
4. Patrol leaders are also responsible for :

a. Detailed planning and preparation of their police patrol
operation.
b. Re-echo COP’s/Unit Chief’s guidance and instructions.
c. Execution of assigned patrol duties, tasks, functions or
missions.
d. Prompt and accurate reporting of results of police patrols.

19. B. Staff Responsibility
At provincial command level and higher, many of the functions
necessary to accomplish command responsibilities in police patrolling are
only performed by (competent and experienced) staff police officers.
In mobile companies and smaller units operating independently or
semi-independently, these functions are performed by selected junior police
officer or responsible PNCO. In big cities or municipalities well-trained and
experienced police officers are the ones assigned to perform same.
Technically, police officers who are not trained and experienced on
this field (patrol) of police operation, they could not perform their
responsibilities effectively and productively.

20. C. Command and Staff Actions
(Apply Staff Functions and Operations Formula)
1. Plans and Preparation. The Chief of Patrol Division
/Section is tasked to prepare the police patrol plans and preparation based
on current crime situation, crime report and statistics, crime data or profile
either monthly or quarterly, and other gathered intelligence reports and
summary of informations.
2. Police patrolling orientation and training. The Operations Officer in
coordination with the Intelligence Officer under the supervision of the
COP/Unit Chief will closely work together in preparing programs and
exercises which insure proper training in the principles and techniques of
police patrolling avoiding legal repercussion. New and updated techniques
and operational policies must be considered seriously to attune to current
situation.

21. 3. Selection of a Patrol Leader. In training, the COP/Unit Chief
insures that his PNCOs and Junior Officers are properly trained by rotating
them in duties as police patrol leaders. Special skills and qualification are of
vital complementary requirements to support the basis of selection of patrol
leaders. Experience is the best teacher so far. On the other hand, in combat,
the commander or leader (mobile company, platoon, section, squad or patrol
base) base his selection of prospective combat patrol leaders on the
requirements of assigned mission.
Here, careful evaluation of the records and standing of the
(prospective) leaders is to be considered. However, as part of gradual
development and promotion criteria leadership in police combat patrol must
be systematically and logically rotated among those who satisfactorily met
the requirements.

22. 4. Formulation of Patrol Mission. the Intelligence Division/Section
through the Intelligence Officer after seeking commander’s guidance will
formulates reconnaissance patrols. The Operation Division/Section through
the Operation Officer will formulate missions for combat patrols. Here, both
will consider the capabilities of each of police patrol.
On the other hand, routinely police preventive patrol operations will
formulates missions for specific field of police patrolling –either foot, mobile,
seaborne or aerial police patrol. Situations of AOR in the prime consideration
what type of police patrol operations be conducted thereat. COP / Unit
Chief and the staff will always project or project something good and
beneficial in enhancing our prevention, suppression and control operations
through active, dynamic, effective and systematic police patrolling.

23. 5. Assignment of Patrol Mission.
a. Routine Patrol – covers only routinely and normal
patrol mission or missions.
b. Specialized Patrol – only one specific mission and all
elements and teams of the patrol are
required to accomplish the tasks.
c. Combat Patrol – the mission must be clearly and
thoroughly understood, productively
and soundly discussed by the
COP/Unit Chief to the patrol leaders
and its operating teams, and final
orders or instructions must be
religiously followed and complied.

24. 6. Orders to the patrol leader. Orders providing the patrol leader the
information, instruction, and guidance is necessary to enable him to plan,
prepare, and conduct the patrol operation and are usually issued orally,
either as an informal briefing or as a standard operating procedure (SOP).
a. Orders for routine patrol are usually issued in a simple,
concise or informal briefings. Routine patrols and security patrols
establishing and/or maintaining contact with nearby friendly units and
community people are examples. These kind of patrols require minimum
preparation and relatively little specific information, instructions and
guidance.
b. Orders for specialized patrol operations requires official
SOP, and the briefing must be complete and clear.
c. Orders for combat patrol operations must also be covered
with SOP and greater consideration must be given as to the value of life and
human rights. There must be a pre-final briefing and final briefing so clearly
and completely discussed.

25. 7. Control. Generally the COP/Unit Chief dispatching a patrol is
limited in the degree of control he can exercise over the patrol after it has
departed from the police headquarters and/or friendly areas. Chiefs of
patrols are delegated to take active control of their respective patrol
operations., except when the mission of the patrol is highly confidential and
delegation of control authority will prejudice the same. Control mechanism
are :
a. Time of departure and return
b. Systematic reporting through checkpoints and
communications
c. Route may be generally defined or specifically
prescribed
d. Use of prearrange simple codes, coded words signals
and signs/countersigns are encouraged to reduce
transmission time and decrease possibility of
compromising the mission specially in
combat patrol operations

26. 8. Support.- Funding, logistics, subsistence, clothing's, accessories
and other resources be proportionately given to all elements of patrol
operations. On the pre-mission stage, especially in specialized patrol and in
combat patrol operations, lateral coordination and cooperation is enjoyed to
all friendly units, offices and agencies including socio-civic-religions sectors
and political personalities.
The Intelligence Officer and Operation Officer arrange for specially
qualified personnel (Officers and PNCOs) linguist, good speaker, social
leaders, good radio operator, experienced and sensitive guides, demolition
specialists, experienced and good drivers, well-trained and experienced
combat fighter, trained and experienced investigator, and the like, to
compose the members of patrol teams and even to consider in leading the
patrol operations.

27. 9. Supervision. This is
provided by the COP/Unit Chief
and staff officers and usually
delegated to the chief of Patrol
Division/ Section of the unit.
They actively supervise all
phases of patrol planning and
preparation, including training
and rehearsals, and the other
related matters. Concept of
management in this aspect is
best illustrated of how staff
organization, functions and
operations work.

28. A. Concept of Organization
Basically, organization consists of arranging personnel and functions
in a systematic manner designed to accommodate stated goals and
objectives in most efficient manner possible. A poorly organized police unit
cannot function effectively even with the best management. Similarly, a well
organized police agency will not operate with maximum efficiency if it is not
well managed.
The act of organizing is indispensable to proper management, and
without some form of organizational structure, most police patrol operations
could not be carried out. If the organization is poor and if organizational
concepts or policies are poorly understood or applied, the efficiency of the
unit (police station in all level) will be severely affected.
ORGANIZATION OF A PATROL

29. B. Organizing a Patrol
The organization and operation of the patrol force is said to be a
semblance of the pattern of the organization of any police unit or agency
because patrol is the police. Due to the nature of work they perform they
adhere very closely to rigid chain of command, specific assignment or duties
and responsibilities, and functional job description that distinguishes
between line and staff authority. You as a PNP Officers must seriously
consider this philosophy.
The objectives of the patrol are the same as those of a police
organization. The uniformed patrol (police) officer represents all the powers
and responsibilities of the police. In a very real sense, the uniformed patrol
force is the police while the specialized branches represent in depth
applications of responsibilities and techniques which the patrol officer
initiates.

30. The operational heart of a police organization is the patrol force to
which other department divisions relate in a relate is a supportive capacity.
O.W. Wilson, a protege of world known Criminologist August Vollmor,. who
took his place when he returned as Dean of the Graduate Studies in
Criminology in the University of California at Barkeley, and Superintendent of
the Chicago Police Department in 1961 stated “Policing should be
considered a patrol service with specialized activities developed as aids.”
This truism expresses a fundamental police administrative principle.
It is the patrol officer who, as a master of routine operational practice, is
charged with the performance of the full range of complex responsibilities
inherent in the police service. The patrol officer, in a very real sense,
represents in microcosm the police organization.

Note:
This is just a sample of a
simplified organizational
set-up of a patrol force of a
police precinct.

32. C. Philosophy of Police Patrol
The prevention of crime is the fundamental role of a police force. The
preventive role of the individual police officer on his beat is a basic element of modern
police service. The more presence of a properly organized and efficiently operating
patrol force is considered to be one of the greatest crime deterrents, thus, far
developed and appreciated by organized society. In any police agency or unit the
patrol force is the single largest operating element.
It is considered as the backbone as well as the core of the police
organization. All other police services emanates from patrol for the sole purpose of
supporting and enhancing its crime prevention activities. Undeniably, an effective
patrol force lessen the necessity for organizing specialized operating units; the
tendency to glamorize specialization at the sacrifice of patrol is diminished. Because
the work role of the patrol force, day-in and day-out, bring them in direct contain with
all segments of the community, they are the most visible representative of the police
unit. Every local government and Chief of Police are cognizant that the patrol function
is the most important element of the police agency.
Hence, policies that attract and retain highly qualified and interested officers
and personnel should be adopted. To achieve maximum performance, patrol
operations must be effectively organized and professionally manage.

33. D. Concepts of Police Patrol
In recent years, the police mission in contemporary society has
become incredibly varied and complex, and law enforcement agencies are
growing and evolving at rapid pace (to compete with its enemy- lawless
elements).
Patrol operations remain, however, the most important of all police
functions.
All other police services and activities exist for the exclusive purpose
of supporting and enhancing the patrol effort as enumerated:
1. Patrol is the essence of a police function.
2. The patrol force is the single largest element in the police
organization and the actions taken by the patrol officers have a
direct impact on citizen’s satisfaction and well being and on the
accomplishment of police goals and objectives.

34. 3. The patrol function is also the most visible form of police activity,
furthering the community the community’s well-being, security
and safety, and perception of the level of local government
services.
4. It represents the police agency to the society to the community so
he or she must have to perform duties and responsibilities to the
highest standard of police performance efficiency.
5. The individual patrol officer plays a major role in determining the
quality of justice in a given community. Errors made at the level of
the patrol function may have significant negative effects on the
remainder of the criminal justice process.
6. Police administrators must recognize and emphasize that the
patrol officer is the most important member of the police
organization and that all other police activities must be supportive
to or of the patrol mission.

TYPES OF POLICE PATROL

38. Years ago the patrol functions comprises the built of the police
agency’s resources, and the police patrol officer constituted the mainstay of
the police patrol effort but due to limited patrol operation support and
resources, patrol officer becomes frustrated and even disgusted for the lack
of attention given to them. The consequence is that they patrol their beats for
the sake of compliance without any productive purpose or objective. Worse,
some patrol officers resort to mulcting, extortion and even conniving with
criminals to commit certain crime resulting to erosion of today’s image and
credibility.
The approach basically is crime prevention. However, observation-
wise many of our today’s police units focus much their attentions on
specialized units rather than building up and improving our police patrol
operations methods, techniques, approaches and strategies. Police units,
whether large or small, must strive to improve, develop, update, reinforce
their patrol functions capacity and capabilities and through the use of a
variety of methods.
PATROL METHODS AND STRATEGIES

39. No single police patrol strategy will work well in all cases or in every
police jurisdiction because the choice of a particular strategy, or combination
of strategies to be applied will depends upon the following :
1. Available resources of the unit concern –men, money, machine
and material.
2. The particular crime problems, according to time and place and
based on crime situation map and monthly report.
3. The culture, tradition and characteristics of the community.
4. The imagination and determination of the Chief of Police and
patrol officials in developing patrol programs to meet the needs of his
department and the community.
While it is true that the patrol officer cannot detect the thinking or
desire of the criminal yet, he can destroy the OPPORTUNITY to commit a
crime by his ever-presence patrol strategy – known as the psychology of
omnipresence.

40. The psychology of omnipresence, as an initial police patrol strategy,
is to establish the aura of police presence in the community (maximum
police visibility with public satisfaction and support), and is best exemplified
and effectively applied in:

1. Patrol’s crime prevention activities by uniformed foot policeman as
well as mobile patrol crew in conspicuously marked, radio-equipped patrol
cars.
2. The strategic objective of omnipresence is for:
a. The patrol officer to be seen alertly and constantly
patrolling so as to established a highly visible police presence; hence, to
make his presence psychologically be felt inspite of his physical absence
thereby creating:
a.1. Feeling of security and safety.
b.2. Feeling of fear and hesitancy on the part of the
would be–violator or criminally inclined person.
c.3. Feeling of confidence that the police are
constantly alert and available to respond to any situation at a moment’s
notice.
b. Gain people’s trust and confidence.
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF OMNIPRESENCE

41. Police administrators and senior police officers must closely work
with other national and local government agencies and officials to ensure
that sound and effective management of police patrol operations will be
materialized. Among the salient matters to be considered are:
1. Appropriate or adequate funding support;
2. Updating or modernizing patrol equipage and weapons;
3. Application and adaptation of hi-technological assistance and
facts;
4. Increase salaries, allowance and patrol incentives of the PNP
members;
5. Revitalize working relationship of all pillars of the Criminal Justice
System, specifically on the role of Community Based Policing
System;
6. Regularly conducted patrol operations training in all levels; and
7. Internalize and interiorize leadership management theories.
