Chapter I

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

The barangay tanod is a registered group of Barangay residents who serve in the

barangay by providing free services to prevent crime, maintain safety, calmness and order. The

said code sprouts from the provision of paragraph, Article II, Section 4 ng Saligang Batas “The

main task of the Government is to serve and protect the people.”

Chapter 3 Section 389 of the Local Government Code 1991 no.7 Power of the Chief of

Barangay to develop and preside over emergency groups if it is necessary to preserve peace

and order or during emergencies or disasters. Furthermore, it is also stated in Section 3 of the

executive no.309 which states that the; Peace and Order; will report on the silence and order

and operation of the; Civilian Volunteer Self-Defense Organizations (watchmen); and other

programs or acts against government revolt.

citizens against the threat of irreparable deprivation of life, property and property. The

watchman will assist the Government in maintaining the silence and order of law enforcement,

the authority of the intergovernmental authorities, the jurisdiction and other branches of

government. Barangay tanod helps in the fight against crime and in the protection of general

safety in the barangay. In addtion barangay tanod will fill the current police force with major

security and police operations in line with the policy of the PNP.

This study is also anchord on Riles MG Panelo (2013) the barangay tanod detachment

assumes a vital part in the improvement and advancement of the barangay. It is one of the

executing components of the Barangay Peace and Order Committee (BPOC), which has the

essential undertaking of guaranteeing that peace and request win in the barangay.

Peace and order in local communities means a feeling of a common sentiment of

security among the residents. Individuals who have this conviction that all is good will probably

take an interest in network exercises that expect to enhance the job and prosperity of all. In this

sense, the upkeep of peace and request is a piece of the establishment for veritable, community

based improvement.

Director General Nicanor A. Bartolome, Chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP),

ordered all policemen doing office work to go out and render at least four hours of security

patrols in their areas of jurisdiction.” They will now be conducting patrol before they go to the

office and before they go home,” said Bartolome.

The target time will be from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. in the morning and from 3:00 p.m. to

5:00 p.m. in the afternoon. According to Bartolome, the PNP objective is to make use of that

time on matters that need the police concerns most, which is patrolling the streets”. It was
implemented by Bartolome in Metro Manila while he was director of the National Capital Region

Police Office (NCRPO).

After the assessment that it was effective, Bartolome said he wants to implement it

across the country because aside from policemen doing office work, he said some policemen in

other units will also be required to conduct beat patrol.

He, however, clarified that only those assigned in areas where the threat of big rebel

groups like communist and Moro rebels will be tapped for patrol. “Some of those assigned in

internal security operations will be used for visibility because we all know that it is an essential

component to prevent crime,” said Bartolome.

Moreover, Abat (2013) stated that in Davao City, the police station is increasing police

visibility in communities to reduce the numbers of crimes. Most of the policemen are outside for

advocacy programs and to maximize visibility. And also don’t let the ride in a mobile since

mostly they are on foot patrol to observe more the community safety, this way they could easily

establish connection with the community against criminal acts. Policemen also go house-to-

house in different villages in subdivision within the area of their responsibilities to make sure that

they are safe by the police force.

Hence, Ri?en (2014), stated that Cebu City is further strengthening police visibility in

public areas where implemented by the police as part of their strategy to lower street crimes in

program dubbed Metro Cebu Comprehensive Deployment System (MCCDS) which in this

program they will maximize police visibility out in the streets to prevent crimes from happening

and witness more augmentation of policemen out in the streets in beat, foot, and mobile in

covert operations.

“The response to street crimes is always police presence”, apart from increasing the

number of policemen in foot and mobile patrols, other strategies that will be employed the
establishment of checkpoints, deployment of covert personnel and with all these done in

random manner.

Therefore, safety is a freedom from harm or danger and the state of being safe which

every person assures in the place they were living and for their daily lives. People need to feel

safe at all times under any circumstances. It does not matter if you are at home, at work, at

school, travelling at social event or in desperate need of emergency assistance.
