Due to constitutional mandate:
“Civilian authority is supreme over the military/police”

PNP is administratively and operationally under

the NAPOLCOM
PNP is under supervision only by local executives.
 LOCAL Government Units are as follows:
01. DENR - department of environment and natural resources
02. BFP - bureau of fire protection
03. BJMP - bureau of jail management and penology
04. LCR - local civil registrar
05. LTO - land transportation office
06. RHU - rural health unit
07. DFA - department of foreign affairs
08. COMELEC - commission on election
09. BSP - bangko sentral ng pilipinas
10. BFAD - bureau of food and drugs
11. DPWH - department of public works and highway
12. DECS - department of education culture and sports
13. BFAR - bureau of fisheries and aquatic resources
14. POPCOM - population commission
 With the simple illustration above, let me limit my
discussion on PNP relationship with other local
government unit/s.
For the information of everybody “RELATIONSHIP”
is the key word of my topic.
In general PNP is mainly tasked to
“SAFEGUARD LIVES & PROPERTY”

“PROTECT THE INNOCENCE

AGAINST DECEPTION” etc.
 In so doing, PNP therefore generally deals
with crimes and criminals. To achieve this
sensitive endeavor there is great necessity that
PNP should have a mutual and symbiotic
RELATIONSHIP to others local government
units and this really true as I go on with my
lecture, my way of giving examples will surely
give you a birds eye view on how
RELATIONSHIP is very important to PNP.
Example1 PNP and DENR
PNP have arrested illegal loggers who cut
narra trees without permit which was loaded on
a truck and was transported from its point of
origin without permit transport. PNP has to
coordinate with the DENR and discuss all
possible things as far as law on forest and
others matters known to the DENR personnel in
such a way that the filing of an appropriate
charge in court will surely attained. For your
information in this case DENR is the lead agency
of the government. Thereby, a symbiotic
relationship of PNP to DENR is sought.
Example2 PNP and BFP
PNP have responded into a fire incident wherein
they were able to arrest one person who set on fire
the house of his neighbor due to an old grudge
wherein the house owner provoked the incident.
PNP will closely coordinate with the BFP
personnel in such a way that they can pin point
the cause of fire, and others relevant issues. In
case fire is on-going PNP has to secure and
cordoned the scene to pre-empt looters, thieves
who will take chances of doing their desires of
taking ones property.
Example3 PNP and BJMP

In cases of JAILBREAK, the PNP

has to closely coordinate with the
BJMP personnel for the recapture of
escapees. PNP will see to it that all
escapees will re-arrest in such a way
that would be occurrence of crime
could be avoided.
Example4 PNP and LCR

In cases of any crime committed where police

investigators facing blank wall as to the exact
place where suspect resides LCR is the answer.
Wherein the claimant of death benefit is
doubtful whether or not the person insured is
alive, the possible government agency where
police investigators will go is LCR.
Example5 PNP and LTO
• Police investigators were able to recover a car
napped and get away vehicle of suspects in a robbery
case. LTO is the best answer as said local government
unit will provide police investigators the necessary
information as to whom the said vehicle was registered
and where it was registered. This information from the
LTO will surely give vital information for the police.
Especially when the vehicle was used in the
commission of crime, the suspect will attached
different plate number, sticker and others accessories
of said vehicle so that they can mislead the
investigation.
Example6 PNP and RHU

Police investigators really need the RHU participation

in the investigation of crimes against person/s (murder,
homicide, physical injures, rape, parricide, infanticide,
intentional abortion) RHU personnel will provide them
(PNP) of MEDICO-LEGAL CERTIFICATE, AUTOPSY,
VAGINAL EXAMS, AND OTHER MEDICAL RECORDS
needed like dental record. PNP will use these
information, results and findings to support the filing of
an appropriate charges in court against any would be
suspect. Be informed further that possible result of
cases involving person will mainly depend how these
results, findings presented by medical personnel in
court.
Example7 PNP and DFA

Police are in mission to find out whether or not

mastermind of bombing the congress is still in the
country, definitely DFA will be contacted. If the suspect
still in the country, a HOLD DEPARTURE ORDER will
implement by DFA in such a way the suspect could
leave the country. If suspect was able to slip outside
the country, DFA will coordinate to the destination
country and facilitate the return of the suspect to the
Philippines and face the charges against him.
Example8 PNP and COMELEC

In cases where suspect is no where to

be found and that his identity could be
ascertain, COMELEC record will be
provided to the police as reference such
as picture, signature specimen, date and
place of birth and other personal
information of the suspect.
Example9 PNP and BSP
In the case of falsification of the Philippine
currency by person/s or syndicate, police
investigators could not immediately file the
case in court without CERTIFICATION from
BSP that said currency is indeed fake or
spurious one. On the other hand BSP will
provide vital information as to the
genuineness of the currency in such a way
that PNP who is tasked to implement all laws
and rules of the land can do so without
unnecessary delay and would perpetrator/s
Example10 PNP and BFAD

Police investigators investigated as case of

ADULTERATED PRODUCT where suspect using the
brand name of a certain product. Police authorities
have to closely coordinate with BFAD personnel in
obtaining information so that their campaign against
intellectual property rights (IPR) in relation to
Consumer’s Act could be attained and implemented
against the perpetrator/s. In this way, there is a so
called equal protection between consumers and
manufacturer.
Example11 PNP and DPWH

Police authorities who are in-charge in the

maintenance of peace and order, protecting and
safeguarding lives and properties sought the
assistance of DPWH authorities in the installation of
street lighting and road sign along a narrow street in
Brgy. Sepsepnget, Laoag City. After the installation of
lightings and road signs of the same street by the
DPWH personnel, upon the initiative of the PNP,
constituents thereat congrats the police authorities for
doing so.
Example12 PNP and DECS/SCHOOL

Police authorities are currently

investigating a ranking communist terrorist
within their area. According to a reliable
source of information, said CT is had finished
his baccalaureate degree and a post graduate
one. However, all other information cannot be
ascertained. With the help of DECS personnel
all other vital information pertaining to the
background investigation of said CT can be
obtain thru school records.
Example13 PNP and BFAR

Police probers investigating a case of Violation

of RA8550 (illegal fishing). Suspects were
arrested along the shore in possession of
dynamited fishes and a very fine mess but they
do not know what specific laws of RA8550 was
violated thereby BFAR personnel could guide
them on what to do and how to do as far as the
filing of an appropriate case in court is
concerned.
 With all the above cited explanations where
PNP closely coordinated to every local
government unit, a symbiotic relationship was
proven effective and inevitable. RELATIONSHIP
OF PNP therefore to any of the above-named
government local unit is a MUST. But
sometimes this will automatically collapsed
once a traditional politician intervened and
interfere.
 To give you a birds eye view, take
this example as your guide in dealing
with PNP personnel in such a way
that BLAME, ACCUSATION AND
CRITISISM will not be thrown to
them at times they failed to suppress
the existence of any criminal act to
our respective locality.
 Because of constitutional
mandate that CIVILIAN AUTHORITY
IS SUPREME OVER THE
MILITARY/POLICE, some politician
abuse it and resulted to the so called
police brutality.
 Example: Mr. “A” was arrested by
the police for illegal possession of
firearm. He will be charge for such
act, but Mr. “A” was a diehard
supporter of the Honorable Mayor.
Mayor called the chief of police and
said DO NOT FILE THE CASE
ANYMORE, HE IS MY SUPPORTER.
=The chief of police who was selected by
the Mayor for such position he cannot
say no but YES Mayor.

=The worse is that Mr. “A” under-

estimated now the police and even
commit any wrong doing/act any way
Mayor is there to ALBOR HIM.
=If the Chief of police do not
conform to the Mayor’s proposal,
the Mayor says, Hepe better
look for another Police Station
where you can be more
effective.
=Another reason why police
hampered of implementation of a
real justice is that if not the mayor
himself will say so, surely one
among his ranchmen who is close
to the mayor will brainwash him to
go against the police.
 TO ATTEND THE REAL JUSTICE,
THERE MUST BE A COMPLETE
SEPARATION OF AUTHORITY FOR
THE LOCAL EXECUTIVES AND THE
POLICE AUTHORITIES
 Police are sometimes in
effective because of the
intervention of some
politicians in their locality
where often times policemen
can not do otherwise.
