Message
As the primary law enforcement agency in the

country, it requires not just mere service but selfless
devotion and unwavering commitment coupled with
professionalism, excellence, and credibility.
In support of the main program thrust of
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte on peace and order,
various anti-criminality campaigns were implemented.
One of these programs is the “Project Double Barrel,”
which aims to fight illegal drugs activities in the
country. The efforts to eradicate illegal drugs will not
be complete without the active support of the
Directorate for Investigation and Detective Management (DIDM).
This Administrative and Operations Manual will serve as a guiding tool

of investigators in performing their duties with utmost efficiency towards the
realization of the main programs and projects of the PNP, particularly on
matters related to investigative service.
With this, I congratulate the DIDM for this excellent undertaking. I

enjoin all investigation personnel to be guided by this Manual so that
excellence in investigative and detective management can be achieved in line
with our sworn mandate before the country and the people “To Serve and
Protect.”

Message
To have worthy endeavor – the publication of the first-

ever Directorate for Investigation and Detective Management
(DIDM) Administrative and Operations Manual (AOM), since
its inception in March 1991 is indeed a very commendable
project.
This manual will serve as a guidebook for all DIDM
personnel and those projected to be assign in this Directorate
in the performance of their functions. It is inspiring to see the
dynamism that pervades in this Directorate as we raise the
level of performance through the development of our own
investigative perspective amidst the challenges, obstacles and
breakthroughs.
Over the years, the DIDM’s niche in the field of investigation and detective
works has carried on with our mandate of providing better investigative services
aimed at modernizing the PNP’s investigative capability in three key areas: Human
Resource Development, Standardization of Systems and Procedures and
Development of Facilities and Equipment. Investigative breakthrough results and best
practices were accomplished through the continuous enhancement of the e-Projects
or Next Generation Investigation System (NGIS). Development of investigative
policies, guidelines, procedures and directives to include this manual was also sought
to guide the investigators and detectives towards the right direction in the
performance of their tasks.
I would like to thank our dynamic Chief, PNP, PGEN ARCHIE FRANCISCO F
GAMBOA for his support to the development of this manual. It is also noteworthy to
recognize the efforts, assistance and support provided by members of the Technical
Working Group (TWG) composed of DIDM Officers and their respective staff for the
development of this manual.
To my TEAM DIDM, congratulations and carry on!

CHAPTER 1
THE DIRECTORATE FOR INVESTIGATION AND

DETECTIVE MANAGEMENT
Section 1-1 History
1.1 Activation. The reorganization of the PNP gave birth to the creation of
additional functional staff in the national police force. The only staff that was
necessary to be created in order for it to take off from the military mindset of
the Philippine Constabulary to that of a national police force was one that
involved in investigation, a basic police function.
On March 12, 1991, the Directorate for Investigation (DIN) was formally
established. Through NAPOLCOM Resolution Number 97-032, entitled
“Enhancing the Investigative Functions of the PNP through the
Implementation of the Investigation and Detective Management Program”, the
DIN was renamed as the Directorate for Investigation and Detective
Management (DIDM).
1.2 Mission. The mission of DIDM is “to assist and advise the CPNP in the
direction, control, coordination and supervision of the investigation activities of
the PNP.”
1.3 Vision. The vision of DIDM is “imploring the aid of Almighty. DIDM will
be a highly capable effective investigation and detective service successful in
achieving 65% crime solution efficiency for index crimes by 2028.
1.4 Basic Function. While the basic function of “crime prevention” is the
responsibility of the Directorates for Operation, Intelligence, and Police-
Community Relations, the other police task of ‘crime solution’ is solely the
task of DIDM.
In line with this basic function of “crime solution” in the pursuit of a

higher conviction rate, DIDM implements an Investigation Capability
Enhancement Framework, a three-pronged development program which aims
to modernize investigative arsenal in three (3) major areas namely:
Chapter 1 RESTRICTED 1
a. Human Resource Development, by offering training

courses to police personnel through a ladderized
Standard Training Package (STP);
b. Standardization of Systems and Procedures, examples of

which are LOI Manhunt Charlie, Standard Operating
Procedures on Crime Scene Investigation, Creation of
Special Investigation Tasks Groups (SITGs) Crime
Incident Recording System, development and publication
of Investigation and Field Manuals, Pre-Charge
Evaluation and Summary Hearing Guide, other policy
directives; and
c. Development of Facilities and Equipment. In order to

keep abreast with technological advancement, computer
rooms, e-library and repair of ITD and TF USIG offices
were prioritized and constructed.
Section 1-2 Context Setting
The Directorate for Investigation and Detective Management (DIDM) is

committed to pursuing excellent service in Crime Investigation. It contributes
in providing exceptionally qualified investigators and personnel who work hard
in attaining their goals and objectives. The function of the Directorate is
considered as one of the primary roles of the Philippine National Police. It
uncovers steadfast results, analysis and interpretations that transform into a
solid evidence that contribute in the overall crime solution efficiency. These
factors lead the Directorate to continuously adopt new strategies and good
governance program as an innovative response. Dealing with this
advancement will not only enhance their present practices but also secure an
ideal scale of effectiveness in crime investigation.
One of the strategies that DIDM utilized is maximizing the use of

technology. It created systems that provide an access and centralize
information to be utilized by all investigative units nationwide. As a concrete
example, the DIDM website does not only serve as an information platform
but also as a convenient tool and reference that contains manuals, policies,
and other directives accessible by the public. Moreover, in a short span of
time, DIDM adopted IT solutions as an aid in investigation. The Next
Generation Investigation System (NGIS) is a mother program under the
System Development and Enhancement that includes several sub-programs
such as the e-blotter or Crime Information Reporting and Analysis System
2 RESTRICTED Chapter 1
(CIRAS), Case Information Database Management System (CIDMS), e-

Subpoena, e-Warrant, and e-Rogues Gallery. All of these sub-programs are
centered in enhancing data gathering, database management, and records
retrieval used as an aid in policy formulation and decision-making process.
While the strategies and sub-programs were crafted in response to the

clamour for investigative trends, several challenges were encountered from
both internal and external factors. Internal factors include the lack of technical
know-how among personnel. Training programs and overall shift in the
perception of the personnel have been implemented to ensure that
investigation personnel have the appropriate competencies and attitude. This
has been overcome immediately due to strong leadership, will, and resilience
from strategy implementers. As for the external factors, similar to most
weaknesses of PNP units, financial and logistical requirements in
implementing the strategies became the primary hindrances. Interdependency
among PNP units has been inherent considering the hierarchical nature of the
organization. Nevertheless, external partners and allies with similar vision on
social responsibility have been tapped for resources that would otherwise not
have been provided.
In spite of the major issues encountered in strategy implementation,

DIDM surpassed the challenges and continued to exceed its set targets. This
is all because of teamwork from both ends of the pole – the leadership and
the work force.
Crime investigation has always been a vital measure in solving

different crimes. The worth of the DIDM strategic initiatives is similar to the
weight of achieving justice for the Filipino people. This is the reality that DIDM
wants to communicate from the beginning. In order for the Directorate to
achieve a successful outcome in investigation, personnel have to be well-
trained and willing to embrace the calling of adopting a good governance
program and strategic changes. These would not only be reflected in the
present accomplishments of the Directorate but would also convey a brighter
force in the future of crime investigation in the Philippines.
Section 1-3 DIDM Seal
Figure 1.1 DIDM Seal
Upon the assumption of PDIR BENJAMIN B. MAGALONG on July 1,

2015, he arranged for a meeting with the DIDM officers and staff to come-up
with a logo design depicting the real essence of DIDM and its role in crime
solution. After several consultations with the DIDM personnel and members of
the Investigation family through a survey, finally, the new DIDM logo was
approved. The new logo was designed through the help of NUP Myles B Dy
and NUP Emma Kris D. de Guzman. The Directorate for Investigation and
Detective Management (DIDM) logo/seal features the three dominant colors
of the Philippine flag (blue, yellow and red) and the sun with eight rays
representing the Philippines; and a scale symbolizing equality/ balanced
which is symbolic of justice. It also features green laurel leaves on both sides
which means success or accomplishment in its noble mission of bringing

excellence in investigation. The 18 stars represent the 18 Police Regional
Offices of the PNP. The DIDM’s motto/philosophy: Integrity, Efficiency, and
Competency complement the logo in its tireless pursuit of excellence in
investigation. The rope surrounding the logo also symbolizes its personnel
strongly connected together. True to its form, the forensic tools and elements
of investigation namely, magnifying lens, fingerprint, handcuff, microscope,
computer system, DNA strand, and facial composite completes the logo and
supports the DIDM’s mission.
Section 1-4 DIDM Organizational Structure
1.5 DIDM has six functional divisions, namely:
a. School for Investigation and Detective Development (SIDD)
b. Crime Research and Analysis Center (CRAC)
c. Pre-Charge Evaluation and Investigation Division (PCEID)
d. Case Monitoring Division (CMD)
e. Women and Children Protection Center (WCPC)
f. Information Technology Division (ITD)
1.6 Two operational Task Force Secretariats attached to the Directorate,

namely:
a. Task-Force USIG, and;
b. National Task Force on Professional Squatters and Squatting

Syndicates (NTFPSSS).
Figure 1.2 DIDM Organizational Structure

The figure shows the organizational Structure of DIDM including its six-
functional divisions and two operational Task Forces.
Section 1-5 Functions
1.7 The DIDM has the following functions:
a. Direct and supervise the investigation of crimes and other

offenses in violation of the laws of the Philippines;
b. Supervise and monitor investigation of complaints pertaining to

police matters and cases referred by other government/private
agencies, organizations and/or individual persons;
c. Conduct studies, researches and formulate plans and policies to

enhance the investigation capabilities of the PNP to promote
effectively and efficiently;
d. Maintain close supervisory direction of PNP crime laboratories

and other investigative support units;
e. Supervise the National Crime Information System in

coordination with the ITMS and the Directorate for Intelligence;
f. Maintain, collect and process Crime Statistics for ready

reference;
g. Maintain active liaising with foreign counterparts on matters of

mutual interest;
h. Propose and support enactment of laws for the successful

investigation and prosecution of crimes; and
i. Perform such other functions as may be directed by the Chief,

PNP.
Section 1-6 DIDM Strategic Initiatives
1.8 The e-Complainant Engagement Survey has been developed with

the help of the Center for Police Strategy Management (CPSM). Survey
questionnaires were randomly distributed among victims/complainants
nationwide. Results of the survey were given to CPSM for consolidation.
Feedbacks and comments from the victims/complainants were transmitted to
the Directorate as actionable items. Every Strategy Review (SR), gaps were
identified for implementation of appropriate interventions.
1.9 Investigative Directive No. 2015-02, Quality Assurance Support to

Victims and Complainants (QASVC). This Investigative Directive was
issued to give premium importance to client satisfaction giving emphasis on
the key role of investigators in ensuring that the victims/complainants are
accorded with respect and necessary assistance is provided to them. It
provides guidelines on how investigators carry out their responsibilities
towards crime victims and complainants. It spells out the mechanisms on how
investigators provide feedbacks and notifications, how to conduct visits and
how to perform their investigative beats. The QASVC has two (2) basic
essential components: The Feedback and Notification and Investigators Beat.
1.10 Case Management Program focuses on the investigative procedures

and investigative structures necessary for filing of cases, arrest of suspects
and monitoring:
a. Case Review of Dismissed Drug Cases
The SITG shall spearhead and coordinate the

investigative and prosecutorial efforts of the PNP to facilitate the
speedy resolution and successful prosecution of heinous and
sensational cases, and eventual conviction of the perpetrators.
The organization of Case Review Committees aims to review
and analyse the reasons for the dismissal of cases resulting
from the errors and negligence committed by the PNP
investigators. The said Committee shall note the perceived
lapses, errors, and anomalies of the Courts and Prosecution
Services for purposes of recommending remedial/disciplinary
measures to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the
Secretary of Justice.
b. Case Review of TF USIG Cases
Investigators and Case Managers shall endeavour

to file appropriate charges and venture to develop air-
tight cases geared for conviction or indictment of
suspects as desired solution for crime incidents. A case
review is a form of risk management that seeks to apply
the principles of systems audit in order to reduce the
likelihood of both recurrent and typical errors in
investigation.
c. Case Monitoring of Squatting Syndicates
The PNP has been tasked for the apprehension of

squatting syndicates and professional squatters. It is the
operational arm of Housing and Urban Development
Coordinating Council (HUDCC), and through the National
Task Force for Professional Squatters and Squatting
Syndicates (NTFPSSS), it also tracks cases filed against
squatting syndicates.
d. Certification by Arresting Officer, Chief of Investigation,

Chiefs of Police, Investigator-on-Case (IOC) and Legal
Officer
The Guidelines in the investigation, documentation

and filing of drug-related cases (DIDM ID No. 3) sets
guidelines for the Investigator-on-Case (IOC), Arresting
Officers, Chiefs of Investigation Offices/Units, Chiefs of
Police and Legal Officers in the investigation,
documentation and subsequent filing of drug-related
cases. It prescribes that the IOC shall certify that he had
reviewed and examined the Affidavit of Arrest issued by
the Arresting Officer. The COP, on the other hand, will
issue a certification that he has examined all documents
and other pieces of evidence before its filing to the
Prosecutor’s Office. In the event that the case has been
dismissed, the concerned personnel shall be subjected to
investigation if there were irregularities in the preparation
of documents pertinent to the case.
e. Crimes Statistics Validation and Performance Audit
Accurate crime statistics is important in the

implementation of OPLAN LAMBAT-SIBAT since the statistics
guide strategist in planning the deployment of police force and
allocation of resources. Thus, the role of DIDM, as the
repository of crime incident reports and statistics is crucial in the
implementation OPLAN LAMBAT-SIBAT.
To ensure the credibility of crime statistics, the DIDM

continuously conducts crime statistics validation wherein the
crime statisticians and investigation personnel checks the
recording system of the police stations. Along with the conduct
of crime statistics validation is the performance audit. The
conduct of performance audit provides venue for the DIDM
National Headquarters to clarify and reiterate the policies and
guidelines that must be followed in recording crime incidents,
investigating and filing of case.
f. Arrest of Wanted Persons
In increasing the crime solution efficiency, the PNP

intensified its campaign against wanted persons by ensuring
that more arrests will be made through LOI Manhunt Charlie;
Several systems were developed to aid operating units in
determining the actual number of wanted persons in their AOR
based on the unserved warrants of arrest. Moreover, system of
accountability and monitoring of performance of tasked units
were more clearly defined. Specifically, LOI Manhunt Charlie
requires three principles:
1) the development and maintenance of database of wanted

persons;
2) organization of appropriate tasked units, and
3) monitoring of performance.
1.11 Policy Development is one of the major tasks of DIDM. The policies
created assist in the decision-making and guide actions to achieve the desired
outcome, most especially for organizational and personnel development.
1.12 System Development and Enhancement has been the focus of the
DIDM to modernized investigation process and data management. The Next
Generation Investigation System (NGIS) is composed of several IT solutions
initiatives that are envisioned to make monitoring and reporting of crime

incidents and cases more accurate. It will also expedite the generation of a
more reliable statistics.
a. Crime Information, Reporting and Analysis System (CIRAS)
CIRAS sets a standard procedure by which all crime

incidents that are reported to the police stations are stored
electronically in a database. The system does not only facilitate
crime documentation and data storage but also presents quick,
fast and reliable transmission of crime information from a
particular police station to the National Headquarters at Camp
Crame, Quezon City. CIRAS can be interfaced with Geographic
Information System (GIS) to evolve into a Qualitative Crime
Analysis Management Tool. The PNP is currently working on the
enhancement of the e-Blotter system so that it can smoothly
interface with a GIS application capable of geospatial time
series analysis and include multi-functionalities like data
visualization, incorporate more modalities of crimes, and
generate data/report in just a matter of minutes. These
modifications of CIRAS would enhance the ability of field
commanders to conduct qualitative crime analysis that is more
efficient and accurate.
The core objective of CIRAS is to serve as a scientific

management tool for efficient and effective prescription of police
intervention. The system shall hasten the process of
transmitting, updating, and retrieving of records as well as
generating statistical reports down to the municipal police level.
This will serve as an effective management tool for our decision
makers and security strategists to have an easy and intelligent
way of mapping out peace and order and anti-criminality
strategy to ensure public safety.
b. Case Information and Database Management System (CIDMS).
Case Information and Database Monitoring System

(CIDMS) is a LAN-based system designed to establish a central
database system of pertinent information of all cases handled
and investigated of the Philippine National Police (PNP). It aims
to efficiently record and monitor case information, case status,
evidences, evidence custodians, and PNP personnel who
handled the cases as well as to provide statistical reports and
case information needed by the higher management.
c. Case Management and Analysis System (CMAS)
The Case Management and Analysis System (CMAS)

utilizes the i2 Analyst Notebook which analyzes data information
for the timely dissemination of information to operating/field
units. CMAS is an IT Solution designed to help investigators in
the management and analysis of investigative data. The system
is a visual intelligence analysis environment that can optimize
the value of massive amounts of information, allowing the
analysts to quickly collate, analyze and visualize complex data
from different sources.
Among the features of CMAS are: Serve as the "nerve

center" and central repository of all data on crimes, high profile
and high value targets, modus operandi, Organized Crime
Groups (OCGs) and Criminal Gangs (CGs); Identify and analyze
crime patterns, trends and linkages between and among
individual criminals, OCGs and CGs through link diagrams;
Collate, analyze and process relevant information to produce
criminal intelligence requirements; and Conduct studies and
researches for the formulation of effective and efficient policy
guidelines pertaining to intelligence and investigation operations.
d. Wanted Persons Information Systems (WPIS) or “e-Warrant”
This is a system where all warrants of arrest will be

electronically documented so that they can be accessed through
the internet by all police stations nationwide. This is a necessary
investigative tool available to authorized police personnel to
query on the status of a certain person. It will also serve as an
account for the status of all wanted persons nationwide. Hiding
places of criminals will become smaller for them.
e. e-Rogues System
The electronic Rogues Gallery or e-Rogues System of

wanted persons will provide an access to the data of criminals,
including pictures that can be utilized by authorized personnel in
every police station in the country. Through the PNP e-Rogues
Gallery System, the records of an individual or a suspect wanted
for a crime in one locality can be instantly accessed by a police
station in another locality with just a click of their fingers at the
system.
The said system was updated to improve the

resolution of mug shots being uploaded. Among the
modification of the system was the inclusion of counters
to determine units accessing and downloading data to the
system.
f. e-Subpoena System
Basically, this system is a PNP monitoring process

of its personnel involved as witnesses on criminal cases
as well as a feedback mechanism to the courts. It shall
render analysis of various reports pertaining to
compliances, postponement of hearings, non-attendance
of court duties and other relative matters pertaining to
court proceedings to be attended by the PNP. The
archiving of relative documents and their retrieval shall be
administered through this policy to avert lost files and
improve document tracking of all PNP units.
g. Bantay Krimen Mobile Application
Although it is not really part of the family of

systems and databases, Bantay Krimen Mobile
Application is another milestone in IT solutions and an
off-shoot of NGI. It aims to promote awareness, crime
reporting and prevention through smartphones or
Personal Digital Assistants. It was formally launched on
March 16, 2016 at the NHQ Lobby, Camp Crame,
Quezon City. The Bantay Krimen Mobile Application was
created in collaboration with the University of the
Cordilleras and the Directorate for Investigation and
Detective Management.
2. Investigative Capability
a. Projects on Recognition and Appreciation of Individuals

performing Service Worthy of Emulation (DIDM-PRAISE)
DIDM-PRAISE is aimed at encouraging,

recognizing, and appreciating individual personnel for
their superior accomplishments, resourcefulness,
innovations, initiatives, exemplary performance and
outstanding efforts which contribute to the improvement
of existing systems and protocols, and overall
achievement of the Directorate.
b. Core Competency-Based Training Program
The following Core Competency-Based Training

Program contains different investigative trainings for
investigators and would-be investigators to equip them
with knowledge and skills necessary to perform their jobs
properly.
1) Criminal Investigation Course (CIC) – It is

designed to introduce basic investigation
concepts and skills for PNCOs who are
assigned, will be assigned or projected to be

2016-002 and preliminary investigation under RRACS are
processed, the objective of this is to determine the
existence of probable cause/ prima facie evidence based
on the allegations on the complaint and evidence
submitted.
If after evaluation/ preliminary investigation of the

complaint, the case shall be referred for formal hearing or
formal investigation. Otherwise, the complaint shall be
dropped and closed/dismissed.
d. Diagnostic Examinations for Patrol and Investigation

Officers
The School for Investigation and Detective

Development (SIDD) formulated the Diagnostic
Examination for both Patrol and Investigation Officers. It
is now in the final process of segregating the
questionnaires per cluster. The examinations are DIDM’s
mechanisms to validate the competency of every Patrol
and Investigation Officer in line with the Chief, PNP’s
Back to Basic (B2B) Program.
e. Accreditation Program
This program prescribes a set of qualification

standards in terms of education, training, work
experience, eligibility or license, and appropriate
communication skills that must be complied by a field of
investigator before he/she is certified as either Police
investigator, Police Detective or Case Manager.

Section 2-1 Background and Legal Mandate
2.1 Activation. The reorganization of the PNP gave birth to the creation of
additional functional staff in the national police force. Criminal investigation
therefore, is a police function which involves detection and apprehension of
criminal offenders and the gathering of evidence against them.
On March 12, 1991, the Directorate for Investigation (DIN) was formally
established. Through NAPOLCOM Resolution No. 97-032, “Enhancing the
Investigative Functions of the PNP through the Implementation of the
Investigation and Detective Management Program”, DIN was renamed as the
Directorate for Investigation and Detective Management (DIDM).
Pursuant to NAPOLCOM Resolution No. 97-032, the PNP Detective

School was created as an ad hoc body under DIDM. The Detective School

detectives and has the following functions:
a. Establish a systematic program of instructions for all courses

relative to investigation;
b. Maintain a pool of competent instructors with expertise on their

field of subjects; and
c. Develop an annual training schedule.
Not long after, the PNP Detective School was renamed as the School
for Investigation and Detective Development (SIDD).
SIDD plays a vital role in the planning and implementation of training

programs designed not only for DIDM personnel but also for all investigators
nationwide. Dubbed as the “Super Division” of DIDM, it is a strong force which
contributes in the over-all accomplishment of DIDM.

CHAPTER 6
WOMEN AND CHILDREN PROTECTION CENTER
6.1 Activation. The WCPC traces its origin to the first Women’s Desk
of the PNP, which was established in 1993 in Quezon City pursuant to a
project of the Directorate for Police Community Relations (DPCR). In
1998, upon the enactment of RA 8551, otherwise known as the “PNP
Reform and Reorganization Act,” the Women’s Desk was formally merged
with the Child and Youth Relations Section (CYRS), and was later known
as the Women and Children Concerns Division (WCCD) under the DPCR.
In January 2001, the Women’s Crisis and Child Protection Center

(WCCPC) was activated to serve as a one-stop shop for the investigation
of all VAWC cases. In April 10, 2002, the WCCD was transferred to the
DIDM and the WCCD was reconfigured to Family, Juvenile and Gender
Development Division (FJGADD) under the DPCR.
On October 15, 2007, the WCCD underwent another reform and

was renamed the Women and Children Protection Center (WCPC),
pursuant to DPL General Order No. 07-03. Currently, the WCPC CHIEF,
which has been strengthened and restructured pursuant to NAPOLCOM
Resolution No. 2014-441, handles not only VAWC cases but also
Trafficking in Persons (TIP) cases.
The strengthened and restructured WCPC has a mandate to initiate

investigation, counter-trafficking-intelligence gathering and conduct rescue
operations against TIP and VAWC cases. In addition to that, it prepares
and updates watchlist of most wanted traffickers, as well as maintain a
database system to receive complaints and calls to assist the victim and
their families.
Among the many steps taken since the passage of RA 9208, the
strengthening and reorganization of WCPC as the designated Anti-
Trafficking Unit of the PNP has been proven as one of the effective means
of containing trafficking, not only in rescuing trafficked victims and
arresting suspects, but in reducing the prevalence of trafficking in persons

altogether.

6.17 PNP Policy on Addressing VAWC Cases Committed by PNP

Personnel
The policy sets forth guidelines in addressing the issues of

violence committed by PNP Personnel against women and children.
This serves as an effective strategy approach on the four-main
agenda of advocacy, training, alternative dispute resolution, and
administrative action as a means of last resort.
6.18 Delineation of Functions of WCPC Chief, PROs and Other

NOSUs on Matters Pertaining to Women and Children
Protection and the Campaign Against Trafficking in Persons
The Delineation was crafted by this Center in coordination

with its stakeholders, keeping in mind its mandate pertaining to
Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC), Gender-Based
Violence (GBV) and Trafficking in Persons (TIP). It describes the
relationship between the WCPC and the PROs vis-à-vis the Women
and Children Protection Desks (WCPDs).
6.19 Law (CICL) and Children-At-Risk (CAR)
The Manual was crafted by the WCPC to serve as a more

comprehensive guide to PNP personnel in handling cases involving
CICL and CAR. For a long time, the police officers are caught in a
dilemma on how to treat CICL because of their extended rights as
provided in R.A. No. 9344 or the "Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act
of 2006."

6.20 Standard Operation Procedure: Trafficking in Persons

Investigation
The Manual provides a comprehensive approach to the

campaign against TIP and will serve as a reference for all Police
Investigators, especially those involved in the investigation of cases
pertaining to TIP.
6.21 Investigative Directive in Determining the Cases to be Handled

by Women and Children Protection Desks in the Conduct of
Investigation
The Investigative Directive aims to specify which cases shall

fall under the jurisdiction of the WCPD to distinguish from those
under the general investigation in light of the confusion and conflict
between WCPD investigators and those from the general
investigation.
Section 6-9 Specialized Training Programs and

Programs of Instruction
6.22 Development of the Standard Training Program. Recent

developments in the crime environment put the PNP on the spot and
questioned its institutional ability to effectively investigate serious and
sensational cases if not manage a coherent and holistic approach towards
developing an air-tight case against criminal offenders. While the PNP has
recorded several success stories in various fronts, it appears that our
investigative processes deserve another look, considering that
investigation is the heart and soul of policing.
A quick look at our investigative processes would lead us to

examine its main components, which basically include organizational
structure, practices, systems and procedures, new technology and people,
who must be competent if the system were to function well. It is quite ironic
that the PNP offers only one (1) regular investigation course, the Criminal
Investigation Course (CIC) and only for Police Non-Commissioned Officers
(PNCOs). Over the years, the organization seems to have forgotten to
conceptualize and implement regular training programs both for Police
Commissioned Officers (PCOs) and PNCOs. As training is the bedrock of
competence, it is no wonder that most cases remain unsolved while solved
ones barely make it to conviction.

DIDM memo dated November 5, 2010 was approved by the Chief,

PNP regarding Investigative Training Programs for the Line Officers of the
PNP. This includes the proposal for the line officers to undertake
specialized investigation courses/trainings to address various investigative
areas of concerns where competency or expertise is lacking, and this
includes the PNP policy on addressing VAWC Cases Committed by PNP
personnel.
With this, a Program of Instruction (POI) was created and was

approved by the DIDM. It was a pilot training for the WCPD Investigators
of NCRPO, Maritime Group (MG), Aviation Security Group
(AVSEGROUP), Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG),
Women and Children Protection Center (WCPC) and investigators from
Headquarters Support Service (HSS). After the evaluation of the said
training, an enhanced POI was replicated nationwide.
A pilot class on Specialized Course for WCPD Officers was

conducted on February 10-23, 2011 at the PNPTS Building, Camp Crame,
Quezon City. This was attended by 44 WCPD Officers from NCRPO, MG,
AVSEGROUP, CIDG and WCPC. This pilot class aimed to generate
important feedbacks necessary for the formulation of the standard POI for
this course.
On March 15, 2011, in the desire to further improve the said POI,
DIDM conducted a workshop wherein representatives/experts from
different agencies. The workshop explained the PNP training program for
WCPD which aims to provide standard competency training for women
officers nationwide, to lessen the volume of untrained personnel. The best
practice on training which evolves from the conduct of Criminal
Investigative Course (CIC) will also be adopted.
On March 25, 2011, the PNP Technical Working Group on the

development of POI convened to finalize and improve the POI of the
Specialized Course for WCPD Officers. All the inputs of the workshop and
the PNP requirements in the training were incorporated and the module for
the Training of Trainers (TOT) was finalized.
The TOT on the Specialized Course for WCPD Officers was

conducted at the Soriano Hall, PNP Training Service, Camp Crame,
Quezon City attended by a total 36 PCOs; two (2) qualified officers from
WCPD from all the PROs and WCPC. The participants had undergone the
7-days Instructor’s Development Course (IDC) therefore they know how
and what to teach. Afterwards, they had attended the 10-days Specialized
Course for WCPD Officers with several practical exercises. After the 10-

day training, the Standard Training Package (STP) including seven

modules and 36 Lessons were also improved.
The prepared lessons and presentations were evaluated and edited

by the Technical Working Group and it was finalized. In order to test the
Standard Training Package, the Specialized Course for WCPD Officers
was simultaneously conducted to the three chosen regions; PRO 4B, PRO
8 and PRO 13 on September 5-16, 2011.
6.23 The Revised Standard Training Program. After almost three

years since the creation of the POI for the Specialized Course for WCPD,
a workshop was conducted last April 3 – 4, 2014 at St. Giles Hotel, Makati
City with the purpose of reviewing the training modules and integrating the
new Philippine laws or amendments in the existing ones. With the pressing
issues that the country is facing at that time, strengthening the
components of child protection and gender-based violence in the context
of emergencies as well as handling cases for other vulnerable diverse
groups like the Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender (LGBT), Persons with
Disabilities (PWDs) and indigenous people (IP) were also considered.
United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in conjunction with the

Philippine National Police – Women and Child Protection Division (PNP-
WCPD) and Child Protection Unit Network foundation (CPU-Net)
spearheaded the experts and representatives from government and non-
governmental organizations, namely: Commission on Human Rights (CH),
Department of Justice’s Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council (JJWC) and
Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT), Department of
Education (DepEd), Department of Health (DOH), Department of Interior
and Local Government (DILG), Department of Labor and Employment
(DOLE), Department of Social Welfare and Development’s Council for the
Welfare of Children (CWC), National Bureau of Investigation (NBI),
National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA), Philippine Commission on
Women (PCW), Philippine National Police’s Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG)
and Women and Child Protection Center (WCPC), Regional Office-
MIMAROPA (PRO-MIMAROPA), Asian Human Rights Commission
(AHRC), Consuela Foundation, Humanitarian Legal Assistance
Foundation (HLAF) and Rainbow Rights Foundation.
Based on the proceedings of the workshop, a seven-day refresher

course was conducted on June 2 – 10, 2014 at the Center for Law
Enforcement Studies - PNP Training Service, Camp Crame, Quezon City
with the main objectives of evaluating the existing STP and improving the
additional components for the revised programme. It was attended by 35
representatives from PRO 1 to PRO 13 and from NCRPO, PRO COR, and
PRO ARMM.

The revised STP will not just train WCPD officers in handling cases
on child protection and gender-based violence but specifically in the
context of pressing issues on the vulnerabilities of the diverse groups (i.e.
LGBT, IPs and PWDs) and of disaster preparedness.

CHAPTER 7
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DIVISION
7.1 Activation. The Information Technology Division started in the year

2000 to be, in-charge of all the IT equipment of the Directorate and to ensure
internet connectivity. Since the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM)
assigned the National Crime Information System (NCIS) project to the PNP,
which was then given to DIDM, the encoding of all crimes from the NCIS
System was delegated to ITD. DIDM requested encoders from the Computer
Service now Information Technology Management Service (ITMS) to ensure
that the crime incidents will be recorded in the system.
Later on, the ITD was in-charge of the e-projects that will help DIDM
record crimes efficiently to include crime analysis. These are now the Crime
Information, Reporting and Analysis System (CIRAS), e-Rogue Gallery
System, e-Wanted Persons Information System, Case Information and
Database Management System (CIDMS), Case Management and Analysis
(CMAS) and e-Subpoena system under the Next Generation Investigation
System (NGIS).
7.2 Vision. Information Technology Division will be recognized as a high

performance team providing technology excellence that advances learning,
research, and stakeholders’ formation in alignment with the PNP mission and

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
AFIS – stands for Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS); AFIS is

a type of biometric system that uses digital imaging to capture a fingerprint,
which then can then be compared to a database of fingerprint records to help
determine the identity of an individual. AFIS is a biometrics system commonly
used in law enforcement where sets of prints recovered in the crime scene
were compared against the database of known and unknown prints.
Cleared Case – a case shall be considered cleared when at least one of the
offenders has been identified; there is sufficient evidence to charge him; and,
he has been charged before the prosecutor’s office or any other court of
appropriate jurisdiction. Included in this category are solved cases.
Crime Clearance Efficiency – is the percentage of cleared cases out of the

total number of crime incidents. Formula of which is as follows:
𝐶𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝐶𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑠
CCE = 𝑥 100%
Crime Volume
Crime Solution Efficiency – is the percentage of solved cases out of the

total number of crime incidents. Formula of which is as follows:
𝑆𝑜𝑙𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝐶𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑠
CSE = 𝑥 100%
Crime Volume
CIRAS – sets a standard procedure by which all crime incidents that are
reported to the police stations are stored electronically in a database.
e-Rogues System – The Electronic Rogues Gallery or e-Rogues System of
wanted persons will provide an access to the data of criminals, including
pictures that can be utilized by authorized personnel in every police station in
the country. Through the PNP e-Rogues Gallery System, the records of an
individual or a suspect wanted for a crime in one locality can be instantly
accessed by a police station in another locality with just a click of their fingers
at the system.
IBIS – stands for Integrated Ballistic Identification System; IBIS is the de

facto world standard in automated firearms identification systems. Utilizing
state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology to capture, store, and rapidly compare
170 RESTRICTED Glossary of Terms

huge numbers of digital ballistic images, IBIS dramatically shortens the time to
find a match between two or more pieces of evidence.
Investigative Directive – provides directions to the subordinate units with
additional instructions, clarifications, or guidance relative to investigation. It
may also contain routine directives by which subordinate units are given
information and advice. This is further used when a Memorandum, PNP
Memorandum Circular or PNP Command Memorandum Circular is

Next Generation Investigation System (NGIS) – a mother program under

the System Development and Enhancement that includes several sub-
programs such as the e-blotter or Crime Information Reporting and Analysis
System (CIRAS), Case Information Database Management System (CIDMS),
e-Subpoena, e-Warrant, and e-Rogues Gallery. All of these sub-programs are
centered in enhancing data gathering, database management, and records
retrieval used as an aid in policy formulation and decision-making process.
Solved Cases – as per NAPOLCOM MC No. 94-017, a case shall be

considered solved if:
1. The following elements occur:
a. The offender has been identified;
b. There is sufficient evidence to charge him;
c. The offender has been taken to custody;
d. The offender has been charged before the prosecutor’s office or

court of appropriate jurisdiction
2. When some elements beyond police control prevent the arrest of the
offender, such as when the victim refuses to prosecute after the
offender has been identified, or the offender dies or absconds.
3. The arrest of one offender can solve several crimes or several

offenders may be arrested in the process of solving one crime.
Unit Scorecard – based on the Balanced Scorecard of Dr. Robert Kaplan

and David Norton, a unit scorecard is a strategic planning and management
system to align activities to the vision and strategy of the organization,
improve internal and external communications and monitor organization
performance with strategic goals.
Glossary of Terms RESTRICTED 171

Wanted Persons Information Systems or “e-Warrant” – a system where all

warrants of arrest will be electronically documented so that they can be
accessed through the internet by all police stations nationwide. This is a
necessary investigative tool available to all police personnel to query on the
