N. 14th PDG JESUS A VERSOZA (September 27, 2008-September 15, 2010)

 PNP P.A.T.R.O.L Plan 2030 (LEAD PNP)
PDG VERSOZA had made known his vision and projections with the integration
of the PNP Medium-Term Development Plan along with the Performance Governance
System (PGS) and the PNP Integrated Transformation Program (ITP).
Peace and Order Agenda for Transformation and Upholding of the Rule-Of-
Law" P.A.T.R.O.L. Plan 2030)
 The PNP Peace and Order Agenda for Transformation and upholding of the
Rule-of Law Plan 2030- is the official transformation and development and
synchronized strategic plan that utilizes the balanced scorecard system to
evaluate the overall performance of the PNP and its progress towards strategic
objectives. It is the product of the Integrated Transformation Program of the PNP
and the Performance Governance System.
Performance Governance System (PGS)- refers to the Philippine adaptation of
the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) framework administered by the Institute for Solidarity
in Asia (ISA) and implemented by the PNP and other organizations as part of the
Philippine Government's commitment with its application for the Millennium
Challenge Corporation Grant. The PGS has a four-stage governance pathway that
must be complied with to institutionalize the system.
The stages are as follows:
1. Initiation. The stage of initiation is for strategy formulation where the PNP has
developed its Charter Statement, strategic change agenda, strategy map, the
agency governance scorecard and portfolio of strategic initiatives.
2. Compliance. The stage of compliance is for alignment of organization and
resources where the PNP has adopted a strategy-driven budget, second level
scorecards, a multi-sectoral governance council and a strategic Communications
Plan.
3. Proficiency. The stage of proficiency is for integrating strategy into key
management processes where the PNP has established the scorecard reports and
performance analysis, operations strategy review by an Office of Strategy
 Management with the multi-sectoral governance council, strategy refresh with the
multi-sectoral governance council and Third Party Performance Audit.
4. Institutionalization. The stage institutionalization is for linking strategy to key
management process where the PNP will implement a scorecard infrastructure
linked to individual performance, performance- based rewards and incentives and
the assessment of a third-party performance audit
Perspectives in the PGS
1. Resource Management
The enabling resources in pursuit of its mission should be adequate. Moreover,
those resources provided which are very limited should be used optimally. To help
achieve maximum utilization of resources, the PNP must observe high standards of
transparency and accountability in all its financial and logistical transactions.
2. Learning and Growth
The PNP has to look forward into the future, in which it does things much better
and more efficient through a more competent, capable and disciplined personnel
and better core processes than in the past. The PNP shall invest in its human
resources and processes so it can earn its stakeholder's support and undertake
proper, efficient, and effective management of its resources.
3. Process Excellence
This refers to the different core operational processes and practices the
organization uses in carrying out its mission. The four core processes of
intelligence", "investigation", "operations", and "police community relations" are
given top consideration
4. Community
This refers to the objective of improving further the performance of the PNP, and
undertaking a sustained public information program utilizing its amended
Communications Plan, with a view towards strengthening the partnership and
cooperation with the communities it serves. The community is ultimately best served
by highly capable and credible police personnel that effectively uphold the rule of law
resulting to a safer place to live, work and do business

8. Perform such other duties and exercise all other functions as may be provided by
law (R.A. 6975 Section 24).
G. Home Rule and Continental Theory
Basic Theories About Police Service
1. Home Rule Theory. Police are considered servants of the community. The
effectiveness of the policemen in their functions depends on the expressed wishes
and needs of the people.
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 or cooperation with police functions. This theory is applied in countries
that have centralized government.
H. Concepts of Police Service
1. Old Concept. Police service is looked upon as a repressive and suppressive
machinery of the government. The yardstick of police efficiency is the increase
number of arrest. Thus, the job of the police is to arrest and put people in jail rather
than prevent people from committing crime or keep them out of jail. Punishment is
the sole instrument of crime control. Punishment is the sole instrument of crime
control.
2. Modern Concept. Police service is an instrument of crime prevention. The
modern philosophy of police service is not only focused on criminal apprehensions
but also social services. The objective of the police is to promote the welfare of the
individual citizen as well as the society in general. The yardstick of the police
efficiency is the absence of crime or low crime rate.
I. Four Primal Conditions of the PNP Organization
1. Authority. This is the supreme source of government for any particular
organization. It is the right to direct, command and control the behavior of the
employees by the senior officer by virtue of rank and position.
 2. Mutual Cooperation / Coordination Consultation. An organization exists
because it serves a purpose. This purpose is viewed by society as beneficial to it.
This becomes the social legitimacy for the organization to perform its functions in the
society. It constitutes recognition by an agreement with the public on the rationality
of its existence.
3. Doctrine. It is the organization's objectives. It also provides the very source of
various actions which are performed to assure organizational coordination. Hence,
policies, procedures, rules and regulations of the organization are based on the
statement of doctrines.
Primary PNP Doctrines
a. Fundamental Doctrine. Contains rules, policies, procedures or guidelines
pertaining slow with to the operational and administrative functions of a particular
PNP unit. It covers the operational, administrative, and technical areas that are
functionally relevant to the PNP unit concerned.
b. Ethical Doctrine. The fundamental principles governing the rules of conduct,
attitude, behavior, and ethical norms of the PNP.
4. Discipline. In any organization, discipline is necessary to promote coordination.
Understood as comprising behavioral regulations, it is imposed either by command
or self-restraint to insure supportive behavior from people composing the
organization.
J. Principles of Police Organization
1. Principle of Unity of Objectives
An organizational structure is effective if it enables individuals to contribute to the
organizations/unit objectives.
2. Principle of Organizational Efficiency
An Organization structure is effective if it is structured to aid the accomplishment
of the organization's objectives with a minimum, of unsought consequences or costs.
3. The Scalar Principle
It prescribes the vertical hierarchy of organizations. It defines an unbroken chain or
scale of units from top to bottom describing explicitly the flow of authority.
This principle demands the following conditions to achieve effective coordination:
a. Unity of Command. It defines a hierarchical system in which subordinate is
accountable to one and only one immediate superior. This is indispensable to achieve
effective coordination and cooperation. Any violation to this principle undermines
authority, jeopardizes discipline, disturbs order and threatens stability in the
organization.
b. Span of Control. This relates to the number of subordinates a superior can
effectively supervise. There is no exact mathematical ratio in superior-subordinate
relationship. A satisfactory span of control is determined by the four (4) factors
combined:
b. 1. managerial ability of superior;
b.2. effectiveness of organizational communication system;
b.3. effectiveness of management control exercised over operations;
b.4. organizational Philosophy centralization versus decentralization of on authority and
function.
c. Delegation of Authority. Scalar process refers to the growth of the chain of
command resulting in the creation of additional levels in the organizational structure with
the corresponding position and officer to assume the delegated authority. Span of
control necessitates delegation of authority.
4. Functional Principle. Prescribes the horizontal growth of the organization which
applies to both line and staff functions in organization. The dynamic foundation of the
functional process is for the division of labor. It simply means the breaking up of work
units to achieve specialization.
5. Line and Staff Principle. A line organization refers to the functions that carry the
direct accomplishment of its objectives. The staff on the other hand, refers to
organization's functions in an advisory, facilitative and supportive capacity to the line
functions.
6. Directorial Staff Principles. Prescribes the directorial authority of the directorate in
the national and regional levels and other equivalent units to which the functions of the
line and staff programs are aligned.
7. Principle of Balance. In every structure there is a need for equilibrium or equality.
The application of principles or techniques must be balance to bunny ensure the overall
effectiveness of the structure overall in meeting the organization's objectives.
8. Principle of Delegation. Authority delegated to all individual managers should be
clear, adequate and unequivocal to ensure their ability to accomplish the expected
results.
9. Principle of Absoluteness of Responsibility. The responsibility of the subordinates
to their superiors for performance is absolute, and the superiors are accountable for
their subordinates activities.
10. Principle of Parity of Authority and Responsibility. The responsibility for actions
cannot be greater than that expressly or impliedly delegated authority nor should it be
less.
 11. Authority-Level Principle. intended delegations requires that decisions
Maintenance of within the authority of individual commander should be made by them
and not to be referred upward in the organizational structure.
12. Principle of Flexibility. The more provisions are made for building flexibility in an
organizational structure, the more adequately an organization's structure can fulfill its
purpose. Devices and techniques for anticipating and reacting to change must be built
into every structure. Every unit moves towards its goal in a changing environment, both
external and internal.
13. Principle of Leadership Facilitation. The organization's structure and delegated
authority enable its leaders/commanders to design and maintain an environment for
performance, thus, it will help its leaders and organization to accomplish its purpose.
14. Completed Staff Work Principle. Actions of staff officers must be completed staff
actions. A completed staff action includes a thorough analysis of a problem,
consideration of all feasible courses of action, and recommended solution in which the
commander can approve or disapprove. This procedure usually gives more work for
staff officers, but provides the commander more freedom to think and decide.
15. Chain of Command. It is the hierarchal relationship of positions through which the
primary functions of the organization are performed. It is a line or chain of superior from
top to bottom; the route taken for all communications which may either start from or go
to thru top authority in the chain. A unit director exercises his authority and responsibility
through a "command". It consists of different levels as follows:
a. Top Echelon. The top most level in the chain where the overall responsibility and
authority over subordinate commands and units is placed.
b. Middle Echelon. The next lower echelon constitutes subordinate commands/units
apportioned by the commander in order to accomplish his tasks. Each of these
subordinate commanders is responsible to the common superior for the
accomplishment of his assigned task. The Regional Commands and National Support
Units and Provincial/ City Commands/NCR Districts belong to the middle echelon.
However, for purposes of clarity, this echelon is further categorized as follows:
*Police Regional Offices/NSU's Top middle echelon
*Provincial/City Police District Offices intermediary middle echelon Offices/NCR
*Municipal Police Offices/Numbered Police Stations lower middle echelon
c. Lower Echelon. The lower comprised of the subordinate units further apportioned by
subordinate echelon is such as the municipal and city police stations. A commander
apportions his tasks to his commanders, subordinates to an extent dictated primarily by
the nature of the task, availability of material and human resources.
16. Command Authority. This is the responsibility of the commander to plan, organize,
direct, coordinate, and control PNP forces or units in order to accomplish an assigned
mission or task. Included on such responsibility are matters of health, welfare, moral,
training and discipline of subordinates.
17. Command Responsibility. The commander is responsible for all that his
subordinates or unit does or fails to do. This responsibility can never be delegated
otherwise it would constitute an abdication of his role as a commander. He alone
answers for the success or failure of his command in all circumstances.
18. Staff Authority. It is the commander that delegates authority to a particular staff
officer to take action on matters within the bounds of command policies. The staff officer
issue orders in the name of the commander who assumes responsibility for such orders.
The authority delegated among the staff officers varies with the level and mission of the
command, the urgency of operations and the relationship of the staff officer's functional
area.
19. Staff Responsibility. Staff officers are those tasked with a functional areas of
interest. Each is responsible for the accomplishment of all staff actions within his area of
interest. However, such responsibility does not carry, command authority over other
staff officer or other elements of the command.
