Introduction to Police Organization and Administration


In all modern societies, the enforcement of the law is vital-without some type of
law enforcement, a society would eventually cease to exist. The function called law
enforcement is a society’s formal attempt to obtain compliance with the established
rules, regulations, and laws of that society. Without law enforcement, society as we
know it would probably succumb to social disorder and chaos (Jones and Barletlett
Learning, 2020).

2. Modern Concept
● Police are an instrument for crime prevention.

Basic Police Mission
The basic police mission is preserving order by enforcing rules of conduct or laws. This
was the same in ancient societies as it is today in sophisticated urban communities.

POLICE ORGANIZATION UNITS


A. Functional Units

perform definite tasks. These are as follows:
1. Bureau - the largest organic unit within a large department, each bureau is
composed of a number of divisions
2. Division - the primary subdivision of a bureau.
3. Section - a smaller functional unit within a division that is necessary for
specialization purposes.

15
IMMACULATE CONCEPTION – I College of Arts and Technology

PRINCIPLES OF POLICE ORGANIZATION


1. Principle of Unity Objectives - Every police officer should play a part in the
attainment of the objectives of the police organization.
2. Principle of Organizational Efficiency - This principle requires that, in order that
the PNP organization is effective, it must be structured in a certain manner to
accomplish the objectives with a minimum cost.
3. Scalar Principle - This principle requires a vertical hierarchy of an organization
which defines the unbroken chain of units and command from top to bottom describing
explicitly the flow of authority.
a. Unity of Command
● It states that a group of police officers should only be under the control of one
superior or ranking police officer.
b. Span of Control
● It states that a senior police officer should be provided with not more than what
he can effectively direct.

17
IMMACULATE CONCEPTION – I College of Arts and Technology
#47 A.Bonifacio Street, Likod Simbahan, Poblacion, Sta. Maria, Bulacan
c. Delegation of Authority
● A superior officer must designate some of his immediate subordinates to
exercise a part of his administrative power. However, the power passed on by the
superior officer carries an appropriate responsibility.
4. Functional Principle - This principle is otherwise known as division of work
according to type, place, time, and specialization.
5. Line and Staff Principle - It implies a system of varied functions arranged into a
workable pattern.
6. Principle of Balance - Application of the principles of organization must be
balanced to ensure the effectiveness of the patrol force in accomplishing its objectives.
7. Principle of Absoluteness of Responsibility - It states that the responsibility for
performance of the deputy chief to the chief of police is absolute (unconditional) and
vice versa, and that the chief of police cannot escape his accountability on the activities
performed by his subordinates.
8. Principle of Flexibility - It states that there is higher tendency that the PNP can
fulfill its purpose if the organization receives more provisions for flexibility
(adaptability).
9. Principle of Authority Level (Hierarchy of Authority) - Decisions within the
authority of the police station commanders should be made by them and should not be
referred to their superiors, such as the police district commander (or PNP provincial
director).
10. Principle of Parity and Responsibility - The responsibility of the head of the
Investigation Section for the actions of his detectives cannot be greater than that implied
by the authority he has delegated, nor should it be less.

Types of Law Enforcement Agencies


A law enforcement agency (LEA) is any agency which enforces the law. This may
be a special, local, or state police, federal agencies such as the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) or the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Also, it can be used
to describe an international organization such as Europol or Interpol. This is a list of law
enforcement agencies, organized by continent and then by country.
