What is Operation?
Operation is the performance of a practical work or of something
involving the practical application of principles or processes.
POLICE OPERATIONS
3.1 Public Safety Operation – includes Search, Rescue and Retrieval Operations,
Fire Drills, Earthquake Drills and similar operations that promote public safety.
3.7 Scene of the Crime Operation (SOCO) – includes the processing of crime
scene, technical and forensic examination of evidences and similar scientific
investigative assistance.
OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES
Team Leader/s (TL) of local police units operating outside their territorial
jurisdiction and National Support Units (NSUs) shall coordinate, personally or through an
offi cial representative, with the Police Regional, Provincial or City Police Offi ce within
whose jurisdiction the operation is to be conducted.
Prior to the launching of the operation, except in cases where the formal (in
writing) inter-unit coordination cannot be made due to the nature and/or urgency of the
situation such as, but not limited to, cross-jurisdictional pursuit operations, coordination
should be made formally using the prescribed Coordination Form, which shall be filed with
the concerned operation center of the Police Regional, Provincial or City Office.
In cases where formal inter-unit coordination is not feasible, the Police Unit
concerned shall endeavor to notify the territorial police office through any
Police operations like arrest, search and seizure, checkpoint, roadblocks, demolition
and civil disturbance management shall be conducted as follows:
During actual police intervention operations, the Team Leader shall use peaceful
means including the use of megaphones or any other similar instruments to warn or
influence the offender/s or suspect/s to stop and/or peacefully give up.
The police shall not use warning shots during police intervention operations.
The excessive use of force during police operation is prohibited. However, in the
lawful performance of duty, a police officer may use necessary force to accomplish his
mandated tasks of enforcing the law and maintaining peace and order.
The police officer must first issue a verbal warning before he could use force against
an offender. As far as practicable, the verbal warning shall be in the dialect that is known
to the offender or in the national language. Basically the verbal warning shall consist of the
following: the police officer identifying himself; his intention; and what he wants the
offender to do. If the offender is a foreigner, the verbal warning shall be done in the
English language followed by a demonstrative act of the police officer’s intent. The verbal
warning shall be done in a loud and clear manner.
The failure to issue a verbal warning is excusable in cases where threat to life or
property is already imminent, and there is no other option but to use force to subdue the
offender.
When suspect is violent or threatening, and that less physical measures have been
tried and deemed inappropriate, a more extreme, but non-deadly measure can be used
such as baton/truncheon, pepper spray, stun gun and other nonlethal weapon to bring the
suspect under control, or effect an arrest.
During confrontation with an armed offender, only such necessary and reasonable
force should be applied as would be sufficient to overcome the resistance put up by the
offender; subdue the clear and imminent danger posed by him; or to justify the force/act
under the principles of self defense, defense of relative, or defense of stranger.
A police officer, however, is not required to afford offender/s attacking him the
opportunity for a fair or equal struggle. The reasonableness of the force employed will
depend upon the number of aggressors, nature and characteristic of the weapon used,
physical condition, size and other circumstances to include the place and occasion of the
assault. The police officer is given the sound discretion to consider these factors in
employing reasonable force.
The police officer who is in charge of the operation shall, at all times, exercise control
over all police personnel in the area of operation, and shall exhaust all possible means to
apply the necessary and reasonable force to protect lives and properties during armed
confrontation.
The use of firearm is justified if the offender poses imminent danger of causing death
or injury to the police officer or other persons. The use of firearm is also justified under
the doctrines of self-defense, defense of a relative, and defense of a stranger. However,
one who resorts to self-defense must face a real threat on his life, and the peril sought to
be avoided must be actual, imminent and real. Unlawful aggression should be present for
self-defense to be considered as a justifying circumstance.
A moving vehicle shall not be fi red upon except when its occupants pose imminent
danger of causing death or injury to the police officer or any other person, and that the
use of firearm does not create a danger to the public and outweighs the likely benefits of
its non-use.
a. The intent of the suspect/s to harm the police officer or other persons;
b. The capability of the suspect/s to harm with certainty the police officer or other
persons; and
c. Accessibility or the proximity of the suspect/s from the police officer and other persons.
A police officer who fires his service firearm or weapon during a confrontation with
an offender or offenders must submit an incident report outlining the circumstances
necessitating the use of his firearm.
b. Take photographs;
e. Ensure that all persons who died on the spot are not moved from their original position;
f. Arrested suspects should be kept in isolation;
BFP OPERATIONS
Republic Act 6975 also known as the DILG Act of 1990, Section 54. Powers and
Function of BFP. The Fire Bureau shall be responsible for the prevention and
suppression of all destructive fires on all buildings, houses and other structures,
forest, transportation vehicles and equipment, ship or vessel docked at piers or

PGC OPERATIONS
The Philippine Coast Guard is the country’s vanguard against the entry of
unsafe foreign vessels into the country through its Port State Control. At
present, the Philippine Coast Guard has seven (7) PSC Centers and fifteen (15)
PSC Divisions all throughout the archipelago. The PSC Center in Manila has the
bulk of all inspections based on frequency of foreign ship calls.
The seaworthiness of every vessel leaving the port is ensured through the
intensified Mandatory Pre-departure Inspection which include the compliance
of vessels to safety standards and prevention of vessels from sailing for failure
to comply with the standards; conduct of random Emergency Readiness
Evaluation and Operational Readiness Evaluation in the ports; conduct of
regular vessel safety inspections, and publication of Notice to Mariners
(NOTAM), and the implementation and enforcement of navigational rules and
designation of sea lanes, among others.
Further, the PCG is also responsible in issuing permits and supervises all
marine salvage operations. It is mandated to destroy or tow floating hazards to
navigation such as, but not limited to illegal fish traps and vessels.
The Philippine Coast Guard, in accordance with the Convention of Safety of Life
at Sea (SOLAS), is the national maritime search and rescue service of the
country. The Coast Guard Action Center (CGAC) at the PCG Headquarters in
Manila, by virtue of the current functions and facilities, serves as the
coordinating centers for all search and rescue operations. The twelve Coast
Guard Districts are designated as Maritime Rescue Coordinating Council
(MRCC) within their areas of responsibility while the 59 Coast Guard Stations
are designated as Maritime Rescue Sub-Centers (MRSC). The detachments
under these stations are designated as SAR units.
performance of this function, the PCG contributes to maintain good order at sea
by conducting regular patrols and surveillance for the safety of navigation of
ships, to safeguard ships from illegal acts and to promote freedom of
navigation.
In its Sea Marshal Program, the PCG manages composite security forces
composed of AFP, PNP and PCG elements to protect voyages of passenger-
laden vessels in domestic routes. The Coast Guard also boasts of a newly
established nationwide K-9 unit composed of highly trained sniffing dogs
deployed in the major ports throughout the country.
