PNP ETHICS AND VALUES FORMATION

Overview

In this chapter, we learn about police officers—known as society’s protectors—

and how they behave according to what is ethical and the values that guide their
actions. It will explain the importance of ethics and its value to the profession of
policing.

Introduction

Chapter 4: PNP ETHICS AND VALUES FORMATION

The PNP mission; shall enforce the law, prevent and control crimes, maintain
peace and order, and ensure public safety and internal security with the active support
of the community.

I think many in the PNP already know what their values should be, though they
may disagree on the importance they assign these values. But it is one thing to profess
ethical behavior, and another thing to live by them. I think their main problem is that
there is a large gap between the ethics they claim to believe in and the values that
guide their actions.” -Sociologist Randy David

Despite possible disagreements on how much importance they give these

principles, I believe that most PNP members already have an idea of what they should
be. But claiming to act ethically is one thing; truly maintaining them is quite another.
Their primary issue, in my opinion, is that their claimed ethics and the principles that
direct their actions differ significantly.

One of the main reasons the Philippine National Police has a difficult time
creating and maintaining a values-based agency composed of an ethical workforce and
responsible supervisors who strictly adhere to the norms and standards set by society is
the complicated relationship between the police and society as a whole.

Body paragraph

A. Importance of Ethics and Values

Sometimes, the terms ethics and value are used in tandem, but a deeper
understanding may reveal that they are actually distinct notions. It's interesting to think
about how ethics control, whereas values inspire.

Ethics Values

 Ethics refers to the guidelines for  Value provides the principles and ideals
conduct, that address questions of upon which judgement is made of what
morality. is more important.

 Ethics is a system of moral principles  Values stimulate thinking.

 Ethics compel a person to follow a  Values affect the emotional state of

motivator.
 Ethics are consistent, affecting all  Values may differ between people...
equally. what is important for one may not be
important for another.

 Ethics guides decisions regarding what  Values directs ambition... what we

is morally correct or incorrect. want to achieve.

 Ethics determines right or wrong.  Values define priorities in life.

The Six (6) Core Work Values

1. INDUSTRIOUSNESS  What a person wants to, looks for,

keeps busy and strives to work well.
2. SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY  What a person does is dependent on
him, and he puts his will and intellect
to this job (creativity/initiative) and is
held accountable for it.

3. ORDER (SENSE OF TIME)  Prioritizes the use of time, values his

time, “first thing first.”

4. COLLABORATION  Fosters teamwork and solidarity for

unity.

5. DETERMINATION  A person possesses qualities of

perseverance, patience, and strength
to cope with obstacles, difficulties
 and trials.

6. SERVICE  Performing duties or work for

another, a person or an institution
that brings about benefits and
results.

Conclusion

Ethics specify what is appropriate or inappropriate behavior for all of us in a

particular circumstance. Values, on the other hand, are the standards that a person
respects. Values differ from person to person in contrast with ethics, which apply to
everyone.

To give a summary of this topic, as I reflect, making decisions in life is really

hard. As an aspiring criminologist, I must stick with the rules that the organization
implies. Rules are not just rules; they have a basis and theories why they exist. It helps
society maintain order and peace. The law should apply equally to everyone to avoid
bias. Disregarding emotional tendencies to avoid unnecessary situations No one is
above the law. Nevertheless, I will always stand for what is right no matter what
happens.

SIGNIFICANCE OF ETHICS AND VALUES IN POLICE WORK

Immense Powers of the Police

 A clear understanding of ethics is required for individuals wielding immense
powers and responsibilities, such as police officers, who have a tremendous impact on
ordinary citizens' lives.

In the criminal justice system, the police are the initial decision makers, enforcing
the law and defining lawbreaking. They possess discretionary powers, such as the
ability to arrest, mediate, or charge, and can decide whether to use deadly force. They
hold greater authority over people's personal destiny, acting as prosecutor, judge, and
executioner in a single moment. Police officers hold significant decision-making power
over people's lives due to their authority to enforce the law.

https://youtu.be/7lhoPbIHiNE

Without an ethical perspective, a police officer becomes a tyrant

The PNP's police misconduct is attributed to the lack of an ethical perspective, as

power corrupts absolutely. The tendency to abuse power over citizens increases
exponentially, weakening moral foundations. Absolute power corrupts, and the absence
of this perspective is the primary reason for police misconduct.

A strong moral base protects law enforcers from corruption and oppression, as
discretionary powers can lead to oppression of their intended audience.
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANW1rnP5OlU

The Social Contract

Police officers must exhibit higher ethical standards than average citizens. The
government has the right to deprive people of their freedom in specific circumstances
or use force to protect society's rights. Society expects the government to protect
citizens, respect their rights, and appoint agents with integrity to protect citizens and
adhere to social contract conditions.

Society expects the highest standards of behavior and ethical conduct from those
in positions of power to deprive others of their basic liberties. The public expects the
police to behave at the highest levels of integrity and obey society's rules and laws. This
expectation is rooted in the principles of law in criminal and civil justice systems, with
the expectation of integrity and professionalism from the police being deeply ingrained
in history.

Police Officers as Role Models

August Vollmer (recognized as the Father of Police Professionalism) once said

that “The average citizen expects the police officer to have the wisdom of Solomon, the
courage of David, the strength of Samson, the patience of Job, the leadership of Moses,
the faith of Daniel, the diplomacy of
Lincoln, the tolerance of the Carpenter of Nazareth, the kindness of the Good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtCxSj7gO6c

Samaritan, and finally, an intimate knowledge of every branch of natural, biological, and
social sciences. If he possesses all these qualities, then, he MIGHT be a good
policeman.” emphasizing a point- which is that police are held in very high regard by
society in general (and with great discretionary powers), hence must be very
responsible and mindful of their actions.

IMPACT OF FILIPINO TRAITS ON THE PNP ETHICS

The discussion of the positive and negative traits of the Filipino makes it clear
that there is much that s good in among Filipinos, but there is much that needs to be
changed. It is also clear that many of the Filipino's strong points are also sources of
weakness.

People are person-oriented, valuing relationships and caring for others. However,
their extreme orientation can lead to lack of objectivity and disregard for universal
rules. This can result in concern for people but unfairness towards some, despite their
importance in their lives.

Ethics is a key of competitiveness in the work environment. Ensuring a work

environment with mutual trust and confidence is essential for societal strength and
support. The greater the measure of mutual trust and confidence in a society's ethics,
the stronger its support for all. Therefore, ethics must be considered broader by citizens
and constituents in a larger society.

POSITIVE TRAITS OF THE FILIPINO

1. Pakikipagkapwa tao

Pakikipagkapwa-tao is the oldest and strongest Filipino values. Filipinos are open to
others and feel one with others. We regard others with dignity and respect and deal
with them as fellow human beings. Pakikipagkapwa-tao is manifested in a basic sense
of justice and fairness and in concern for others. It is demonstrated in the Filipino’s
ability to empathize with others, in helpfulness and generosity in times of need
(pakikiramay), in the patience of bayanihan or mutual assistance and in the famous
Filipino hospitality.

https://www.facebook.com/RadyoBAHIN/videos/977490333520680/?app=fbl

Pakikipagkapwa-tao results in camaraderie and a feeling of closeness to one another. It

is the foundation for unity as well as of the sense of social justice.
 https://youtu.be/oyOKX31mWbE

2. Family Orientation. Filipinos possess a genuine and deep lovefor

family.

- source of personal identity, emotiona land material support and one’s

maincommitment and responsibility.

- honor and respect given to parentsand elders; care given to the children;the
generosity towards kin in need,and in great sacrifices one endures forthe welfare
of the family.

- sense of family results in a feeling of belongingness and rootedness in a basic

sense of security.
In a Filipino community, the family is at its core. Before getting married, children are
not expected to leave their parents' home. Many couples still choose to remain with or
near to their parents or the parents of their spouse even after that.

They are also expected to take care of their elderly parents rather than placing them in
a retirement community.

Nanay Lita, 27, worked as an OFW in Singapore before retiring. So her nephew Kelly's
desire on her wedding day—the resuscitation of her Pinay Yaya.

Filipino nurses and caregivers are known for giving their patients and clients the highest
quality of care because of the importance that most Filipinos have on taking care of
their families.

3. JOY AND HUMOR

EXPERIENCE THE JOY AND HUMOR OF FILIPINO

One of the Filipinos' assets is that despite their many hardships, they always choose
happiness. Through all of life's ups and downs, Filipinos are renowned for maintaining a
positive attitude and a sense of humor. Filipinos like social gatherings, and they place a
high value on promoting each province's festivals, which are observed in various ways
around the Philippines. Numerous festivals are observed in our region of Camarines
Norte.

Here are some festivals in our province you must experience:

The Pinyasan or Pineapple Festival is celebrated yearly in the town of Daet, Camarines
Norte in the Bicol Region. The festival is celebrated from June 15 to 24 which coincides
with the feast of the town’s patron saint, Saint John the Baptist.

The Bantayog Festival is a historical festival and founding anniversary celebration held
in the province of Camarines Norte, Philippines every April. It is a festival that gives
tribute to the heroism of Jose Rizal and local patriots who took part in the Daet revolt in
1898.

Moreover, it is held to commemorate the creation of Camarines Norte as an

4. Hard work and industry

Filipinos have the capacity for hard work given proper conditions. The desire to raise
one’s standard of living and to posses the essentials of a decent life for one’s family,
combined with the right opportunities and incentives, makes the Filipino work very
hard. This is manifested most noticeably in willingness to take risks. With jobs abroad
and while there, to work at two or three jobs. The result is productivity and
entrepreneurship for some and survival despite poverty for others.

5. Faith and Religiosity

Faith and Religiosity. Filipinos have a strong religious faith. Our natural religion allows us
to comprehend and accept reality in the perspective of God's will. As a result, tragedy
and bad luck are accepted, and even the poorest lives are marked by some hope.

Filipinos have a close relationship with religion. It's concrete and palpable, and it's a
part of everyday existence. We attribute human characteristics to a supernatural God
whom we alternately threaten and thank, invoke for mercy or forgiveness, and satisfy
with promises. As a result, prayer is an essential aspect of our lives.

6. Ability to survive

Filipinos have the ability to survive because they have positive mind and determination
to fight any problems. Filipinos have an ability to survive, which is manifested in our
capacity for endurance despite difficult times in our ability to get by on so very little.
Filipinos make do with what is available in the environment (e.g. eking out a living from
a garbage dump). This survival instinct is related to the Filipinos other strengths ----- a
basic optimism, flexibility and adaptability, hard work, and a deep faith in God. It is
manifested in the millions of Filipinos who bravely live through the harshest economic
and social circumstances. Regretfully, one wonders what we might be able to do under
better circumstances.

7. Flexibility, Adaptibility and creativity

The term bahala na, which can be translated to “whatever happens, happens,” is one of
the more familiar phrases used in the country.

It is perhaps the most representative of how Filipinos value adaptability and quick
thinking. The expression exemplifies one’s belief in a higher power and submitting one’s
fate to elements that cannot be controlled. People who use the term bahala na do not
see anything wrong with it, as it serves as a sort of positive affirmation that allows
them to deal with a problem right then and there.

Creativity in times of calamity.

Adaptability skills are what make people and teams more capable of thriving during a
time of change, or when faced with new challenges. The ability to adapt is crucial for
leaders and their teams during turbulent times, like a pandemic. Filipinos are known for
their extraordinary creativity and resourcefulness. Even in local businesses where local
products display traditional Filipino techniques or promote Filipino values and culture,
the inventiveness pours out.

NEGATIVE TRAITS IF THE FILIPINO

1. Extreme Personalism

- Filipinos view the world in terms of personal relationship

- Filipinos view the world in terms of personal relationships; no separation between an

objective task and emotional involvement.

- We tend to give personal interpretations to actions, i.e., “take things personally”.

Because of this personalistic world view, Filipinos have difficulty dealing with all forms of
personal stimuli. It is for this reason that one is uncomfortable with bureaucracy, with
rules and regulations and with standard procedures, all of which tend to be impersonal.
In the face of these, we ignore them or we ask for exceptions.

Personal contacts are involved in any transaction and these are difficult to turn down.
Preference is usually given to family and friends in hiring, delivery of services and even
in voting. Extreme personalism thus leads to the graft and corruption evident in
Philippine society

2. Extreme Family Centeredness

- Excessive concern for the family creates an in-group to which the Filipino is fiercely
loyal to the detriment of concern for the larger community or for the common good.

- Excessive concern for family manifests itself in the use of one’s office and power as a
means of promoting the interest of the family, factionalism, patronage and political
dynasties, and in the protection of erring family members.

- Family centeredness results to a lack of concern for the common good and acts as a
block to national consciousness.

3. Lack of Discipline

The Filipino’s lack of discipline encompasses several related characteristics. We have a

casual and relaxed attitude towards time and space which manifests itself in lack of
precision and compulsiveness, in poor time management and procrastination. We have
an aversion for following strictly a set of procedures and this results in lack of
standardization and quality control. We are impatient and unable to delay gratification
or reward, resulting in the use of short-cuts, in skirting the rules (thepalusot syndrome)
and in foolhardiness. We are guilty ofningas cogon, starting out projects with full vigor
and interest which abruptly die down leaving things unfinished.

Our lack of discipline often results in efficient and wasteful work systems violations of
rules leading to more serious transgressions and a casual work ethic leading to
carelessness and lack of follow-through.

4. Passivity and Lack of Initiative

Filipinos are generally passive and lacking in initiative. One waits to be told what had to
be done. There is strong reliance on others (e.g., leaders, government) to do things for
us. This is related to one’s attitude towards authority. Filipinos have a need for a strong
authority. One is generally submissive to those in authority and is not likely to raise
issues or to question decisions.

Filipinos tend to be complacent and there rarely is a sense of urgency about any
problem. There is high tolerance for inefficiency, poor service and even violations of
one’s basic rights. In many ways, it can be said that the Filipino is too patient and long
suffering (matiisin). Too easily resigned to one’s fate. Filipinos are thus easily oppressed
and exploited.

5. Kanya-Kanya Syndrome.

Filipinos have a selfish, self-serving attitude that generates a feeling of envy and
competitiveness towards others, particularly one’s peers who seem to have gained
some status or prestige. Towards them, the Filipino demonstrates the so called crab
mentality (referring to the tendency of crabs in a basket to pull each other down) using
the levelling instruments of Tsismis, intriga, and unconstructive criticism to bring others
down. There seems to be a basic assumption that other’s gain is one’s loss.

The Kanya-Kanya syndrome is also evident in the personal ambition and the drive for
power and status that is completely insensitive to the common good. Personal and in-
group interests reign supreme. This characteristic is also evident in the lack of a sense
of service among people in the government bureaucracy. The public is made feel that
service from these offices and from these civil servants is an extra perk that has to be
paid for.

6. Lack of Self-analysis and Seld-reflection.

There is a tendency in the Filipino to be superficial and even somewhat flighty. In the
face of serious problems, both personal and social, there is lack of analysis or reflection.
We joke about the most serious matters and this prevents looking deeply into the
problem. There is no felt need to validate our hypotheses or explanation of things.
Thus, we are satisfied with superficial explanations and superficial solution to problems.

Related to this is the Filipino emphasis on form (porma) rather than on substance.
There is a tendency to be satisfied with rhetoric and to substitute this for reality. Empty
rhetoric and endless words are very much part of public life. as long as the right things
are said, as long as the proper documents and reports exist, as long are deluded into
believing that what ought to be actually exist.

THE POLICE OFFICER

 Introduction

The PNP situation makes it more unique than the national situation because it
has its own occupational culture which exerts tremendous influence over its personnel's
beliefs and values. Hence, a member of the PNP must contend with the two opposing
influences- his lineage as a Filipino, and his duty as a police officer.

FIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF A POLICE OFFICER’S JOB

1. The Uniform

The uniform sets the officer apart, and it identifies his or her status as a police
officer. It is not possible for the uniformed officer to be inconspicuous or to blend into
the crowd. Wearing the uniform marks the officer as a member of a particular minority
group--the police.
2. The Power

The uniformed police officer, with the sidearm, baton, citation book, and other
trappings of office, is a walking symbol of government power In most circumstances,
both the officer and the citizen recognize that the officer is in a dominant position and
can do things to reward or punish the citizen The fact of power means that the police
officer is not an equal of the citizen on the street. It changes the nature of the

relationship between the citizens and the police.

3. The Working Hours

In most places, police officers work rotating shifts. A typical pattern involves
changing work hours every month, so that the officer works days for one month,
afternoons for the next, nights for the third, and then days again. Police officers also
work weekends, holidays, and frequently must put in overtime in emergencies, and for
court appearances.
4. The Danger

Every day thousands of PNP personnel patrol the streets. While carrying out this
function, they deal with several issues, situations, and problems. As a participants in a
very hazardous occupation, police officers have the potential for encountering life-
threatening conditions or the actual loss of life daily. Still no situation should be taken
lightly, because even the most common activities could end tragically.

5. The Dirty Work

One of the most important things police do for society is its dirty work. The
police deal with dead bodies, crimes, crime victims, criminals, automobile accidents and
other aspects of society that most people would rather not think about. As dirty
workers, police officers are untouchables, because they do not wish to be reminded of
what they do.

STRENGTHS OF THE FILIPINO POLICE OFFICER

1. SPIRITUAL BELIEFS

PNP members are traditionally religious and God loving persons. They attend religious
services together with the members of their family. During times of great personal crisis
and danger, they bravery forge on, confident that Devine Province will grant them
protection and safety.

Filipinos are very religious

In all corners of a Filipino house, you can find brazen images of crosses and other
religious paraphernalia. They go to church every Sunday, or sometimes even twice or
three times a week.

2. VALOR- History attests that filipino law-enforcers have exemplified tha tradition of
valor in defending the country from aggression and oppression and
protecting/preserving the life and property of the people. They sacrified their limbs and
lives for the sake of their countrymen whom they haved pledge to serve.

The Medal of Valor (Filipino: Medalya ng Kagitingan) is the Armed Forces of the
Philippines' highest military honor awarded for a conspicuous deed of personal bravery
or self-sacrifice above and beyond the call of duty that distinguishes the recipient from
his comrades.[2] It is defined in the Philippine Army Awards and Decorations reference
material FC 1–0062, itself adapted from the Armed Forces of the Philippines Awards and
Decorations Handbook, Second Edition published in 1997, as an award for
"heroism in combat" and is foremost in the order of precedence of awards and
decorations of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.[1]

The medal is awarded by the President of the Philippines to members of the Armed
Forces of the Philippines and allied military personnel, including recognized guerrilla
forces.[3][4] The Medal of Valor is held in such high regard that the President is required
to salute the medal and the individual wearing it.
3. PATRIOTISM

the PNP members are traditionally patriotic by nature. They manifest their love of
country with a pledge of allegiance to the and a vow to defend the constitution.

moral values of PNP

As premier law enforcement agency, the PNP upholds the most noble virtues and
beliefs. Hence, among its core values are; love of God, selfless love and service to
people, respect for authority, respect for women and the sanctity of marriage,
responsible dominion and stewardship over material things, and truthfulness.

sincere in their concern to fellowmen.

courteous man. Then he nodded courteously to me and walked off to perform his
unpleasant duty.

WEAKNESSES OF THE FILIPINO POLICE OFFICER

The weaknesses of Filipino police officer are rooted in how he individually adapts to the
reality of his chosen profession. After gaining much needed experience a police officer
often realizes that the procedural approach does not necessarily guarantee results. In
like manner, the same police acknowledges that the public unfairly judges his
competence based on actual results and not on whether he followed the correct process
or not.
1. MISPLACED LOYALTY

Due to the bond shared by police officers in their line of work it becomes one’s
paramount duty to protect his fellow officers at all cost as they would protect you, even
though you may have to risk your career on your own life to do it. If your colleagues
make a mistake took a bribe seriously hurt somebody illegally or got into other kinds of
trouble you should do everything you can to protect them in the ensuing investigation.
If you colleagues are routinely breaking the rules you should ever tell supervisors,
reporters or outside investigators about it. If you don’t like it, quit or get transferred to
another assignment. But never ever blow the whistle.

https://youtu.be/xRTrdhOpaLU
2. CYNICISM
sometimes, because of the experiences they acquire as law enforcers, police view all
citizens with suspicion. Everyone is a possible problem, but especially those who fit a
type. Recruits learn this way of looking others from elder officers if they have not come
to the job already holding these perceptions. Cynicism spills over to their relations with
other people since they have found that friends expect favors and special treatment,
since police routinely witness negative behavior even form most upstanding of people.
As a result of their work life leads them to the conclusion that all weak, corrupt, and
dangerous.

According to the International Journal of Contemporary Educational

ResearchThe concept of cynicism, defined in different disciplines of social sciences such
as management (Andersson & Bateman, 1997; Bedian, 2007; Brandes, 1997),
philosophy (Ulaş, 2002), political sciences (Schyns, Nuus & Dekker, 2004), psychology
(Barefoot, Dodge, Peterson, Dahlstrom & Williams, 1989; O’Hair & Cody, 1987), religion
(Hançerlioğlu, 1993), and sociology (Goldner, Ritti & Ference, 1977), became popular at
the end of the 1980s with the research carried out by Kanter and Mirvis (1989) based
on the attribution theory, expectancy theory, affective events theory, social exchange
theory, social motivation theory and attitude theory (Brown & Cregan, 2008; Dean,
Brandes & Dharwadkar, 1998; Eaton, 2000; Johnson & O’Leary Kelly, 2003; Stanley,
1998). Its reflections on educational organizations, on the other hand, developed in the
early 2000s with research conducted on working groups including teachers (James,
2005; Kalağan & Güzeller, 2010; Qian & Daniels, 2008), school administrators (James,
2005), educational supervisors (Arabacı, 2010) and students (Eaton, 2000; Pitre, 2004).
Frustration and negative attitudes arising from the expectations that are not (cannot
be) fulfilled at the educational institutions of students are defined as student cynicism
(Tinto, 1993; Brockway, Carlson, Jones & Bryant, 2002; Zuffo, Maiolo & Cortini, 2013).
One of the first studies on how highly the expectations may be related to student
cynicism belongs to Becker and Geer (1958). The researchers emphasized that there
was a high level of cynicism among medical school students. They stated that students
might have a change in their idealistic attitude (By their very nature, students who start
medical school are enthusiastic about hoping to learn how to cure diseases and save
lives) due to the difficulty of studying at the medical school and as a result they may
experience cynicism because of the unrealistically high expectations.

3. THE USE OF FORCE

the police sometimes embrace force for all situations wherein a threat is perceived.
Threats may be interpreted as acts

Or statements against the officer’s authority” rather than those against the officer
physical person. anyone with an “attitude problem” deserves a lesson in humility. Force
is both expressive and instrumental. It is clear symbol of the police officer’s perceived
authority and legitimate dominance in any interaction with public and it also believe to
be the most effective method of control.

imgrc=Gaj14d8hnY-v5M

4. “THE POLICE AS VICTIMS” MENTALITY

this concept is based on the idea that the police are victims of public misunderstanding
and scorn and self-serving administrators. This feeling of victimization sets police are
special and different from everyone else. Finally, because of erratic working hours and
social stigmatism their social life tends to be centered on other police officers. This
results in closed viewpoints and legitimization of some unethical practices like
corruption.

In others the police as untouchables, the idea wherein the police cannot be blame or to
be contempt to any violation of the law and that they know all aspects of law.

5. PREFERENTIAL APPLICATION OF THE LAW

decisions about whether to enforce the law, in any but the most serious cases should,
be guided by both what the law says and who the suspects is. Attitude demeanor
cooperativeness and even regional affiliation, age, and social class are all important
considerations in deciding how to treat people generally and whether or not to arrest
suspects in particular.

Laws of preferential application:

Below are three examples of laws of preferential application. 1. Members of

congress are NOT liable for libel or slander for any speech in Congress or in any
committee thereof. (Sec. 11, Art. VI, 1987 Constitution) The Constitution says they
cannot be "questioned nor be held liable in. any other place " Therefore, Senators and
Representatives can be "questioned" or disciplined by the respective ethics committee
of the concerned House. 2. Any ambassador or public minister of any foreign State,
authorized and received as such by the President, or any domestic or domestic servant
of any such ambassador or minister are exempt from arrest and imprisonment and
whose properties are exempt from distraint, seizure and attachment. (R.A. No. 75)

Diplomatic immunity is a form of legal immunity that ensures diplomats are given safe
passage and are considered not susceptible to lawsuit or prosecution under the host
country's laws, but they can still be expelled. Modern diplomatic immunity was codified
as international law in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961) which has
been ratified by all but a handful of nations.
https://www.projectjurisprudence.com/2019/10/laws-of-preferential-application.html

6. “THE POLICE AS UNTOUCHABLE”

disrespect for police authority is an offense that should always be punished with an
arrest or use of force. This number one “offense” which is known as contempt of
person in uniform” cannot be ignored. Even when the party has committed no violation
of the law a police officer should find a safe way to impose punishment, including an
arrest on false charges.

https://youtu.be/ivEY0hHN9s0

7. REWARDS
police do every dangerous work, so it proper to take any extra awards the public wants
to give them, such as free meals, Christmas gift and free access to movies, public
transport, etc. the general rule is to take any reward that doesn’t change what you
would affect your job, such as not giving traffic tickets. One theory is that it is
acceptable to accept any reward as long as it was given whole heartedly by as
individual to a police officer. This rationalization was even given a term: laughing
money.

8. DUE PROCESS

Due process is only a means of protecting criminals at the expense of the law abiding
and should be ignored whenever it is safe to do as illegal searches and wiretaps,
interrogation without advising suspects of their rights and if need be, even physical pain
to coerce a confession are all acceptable methods for accomplishing the goal the public
wants the police to perform: fighting crime. The rules against doing those things merely
handcuff the police, making it more difficult for them to do their jobs.

https://youtu.be/UyHWRXAAgmQ

according to will Kenton, updated on June 12, 2022. The origin of due process is
often traced back to the Magna Carta, a 13th-century document that outlined the
relationship between the English monarchy, the Church, and feudal barons. The
document referred to as a charter ( carta means charter in medieval Latin), sought to
address many economic and political grievances that barons had with the monarchy.
In one of its clauses, the king promised: “No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or
stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing
in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so,
except by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land.”

The king was thus prevented from arbitrarily changing or ignoring laws, with the
Magna Carta establishing the rule of law that the monarchy must follow.

Due process continued to be a part of British law for centuries after the signing of the
Magna Carta, but the relationship between parliament and the courts limited its
application in practice . The courts did not have the power of judicial review, which
would have allowed them to determine whether government actions violated the rule
of law, and thus could not always enforce due process. Judges could not be as
assertive in defending due process in the face of parliamentary action, with the
opposite holding true in the United States.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/due-process.asp

9. lying and deception-

are an essential part of the police job, and even perjury should be used if it is
necessary to protect yourself or get a conviction on a “bad guy”. Violations of due
process cannot be admitted to prosecutor or in court, so perjury is necessary and
therefore proper.

CHALLENGE FACING THE FILIPINO POLICE OFFICER

Political Meddling It has been noted that some elected officials frequently attempt to
influence police operations in order to advance their political positions within the
community. Sometimes, police position is awarded based on political patronage.
The act of trying to change or have an influence on things that are not your
responsibility, especially by criticizing in a damaging or annoying way: High-ranking
officials said there was no political meddling in the case.

https://youtu.be/5ip3PWAOyA4

Corruption Corruption and graft do not exclude the police. As an institution,graft and
corruption had long taken roots in the police agency. Corruption was nurtured by the
long years of political patronage that slowly eroded the moral foundation of the
organization.

Different levels of graft and corruption exist in the police. This corruption may be as
minor as stealing fuel from police cars for personal use, engaging in illegal gun
trafficking, illegal number games, or overcharging for police uniforms and supplies. It
may also take the form of "conversation deals"and usurious lending. The administration
of police benefits was not transparent, which had an impact on the police themselves.
 https://youtu.be/GOLoWdcnK_o

Corruption can be defined and categorized in different ways. The most common types
or categories of corruption are supply versus demand corruption, grand versus petty
corruption, conventional versus unconventional corruption and public versus private
corruption.

MOST COMMON TYPES OF CORRUPTION IN THE PNP

1.Case fixing
The arbitrary application of punishments or outright obstruction of the investigation
process in exchange for cash or other benefits.

https://youtu.be/KSPfoJEUXwA
2.Bribery
Bribery is the act of receiving money or a gift in exchange for past or present
assistance in avoiding prosecution, such as by claiming that the officer was unable to
positively identify the offender or that they were in the wrong location when the crime
was to be committed, or by any other action that could be justified as carelessness but
was not presented as evidence of a deliberate injustice. It is distinguishes from
extortion by the mutual understanding regarding services to be performed upon the
acceptance of the gift.

https://youtu.be/Wg9FjMuQI-w

3.Extortion
Extortion is the common practice of holding "street court,"where incidents such as
minor traffic tickets can be avoided with a cash payment to the officer and no receipt
given. Using the process, police have also been known to export money from arrested
drug personalities.
 https://youtu.be/0PVisK1rbz4

4.Protection
The accepting of cash or other rewards from criminals or from lawfully functioning
illegal businesses in exchange for defending them against law enforcement action.
