PLAN

A plan is a detailed proposal for achieving a particular goal or objective. It typically involves
identifying specific actions or steps that need to be taken, determining the resources required to
carry out those actions, and setting a timeline for completion. A plan may also include
contingency measures to address potential challenges or obstacles that may arise. Plans can
be created for a wide range of purposes, from personal goal-setting to strategic planning in
business, government, or military contexts. A well-crafted plan can help individuals and
organizations to achieve their goals efficiently and effectively.

POLICE PLANNING
Police planning is the process of developing strategies and operational plans to address
the needs of law enforcement agencies. It involves the systematic analysis of crime patterns,
resource allocation, and the development of policies and procedures to ensure effective and
efficient police operations.

POLICE OPERATIONAL PLANNING

Police operational planning is the process of developing specific plans and strategies to
achieve law enforcement objectives at the operational level.

DOCTRINE- Overall, a doctrine serves as a framework for understanding and interpreting a

particular subject, and may guide the development of policies, practices, or decisions within that
subject area. It can be an important tool for creating coherence and consistency within a system
of thought or practice.
Cooperation and Coordination- Coordination can be particularly important in situations that
involve multiple agencies or jurisdictions, where effective communication and collaboration are
essential.
DISCIPLINE- In the workplace, discipline can involve following established procedures, working
collaboratively with others, and adhering to professional standards and ethics.

FUNDAMENTAL DOCTRINES- Constitutional policing: the rule of law. ensuring that police
actions are in accordance with the principles outlined in the Constitution.
OPERATIONAL DOCRTRINES- To serve and protect, to observe human rights and dignity of a
person.
FUNCTIONAL DOCTRINES- Investigative doctrine: This doctrine emphasizes the importance of
conducting thorough and objective investigations, using a variety of techniques and tools to
gather and analyze evidence in order to solve crimes.
ETHICAL DOCTRINES:
1. Accountability: This doctrine emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for
one's actions and being transparent in all dealings with the public.
2. Fairness and impartiality: This doctrine emphasizes the importance of treating all

5. Confidentiality: This doctrine emphasizes the importance of maintaining confidentiality
and protecting sensitive information, particularly in relation to ongoing investigations and
criminal proceedings.

SYNOPTIC PLANNING- identifying specific issues in a particular neighborhood or district, such

as inadequate public transportation or a lack of affordable housing. Planners would then
analyze the root causes of these issues and develop targeted solutions to address them.

Contingency plan vs general emergency plan

In summary, while both contingency plans and general emergency plans are used to
prepare for unexpected events, contingency plans are typically more specific and targeted
towards a particular risk or event, while general emergency plans are broader in scope and
cover a wider range of potential emergencies.

ARRANGING FOR THE EXECUTION OF THE PLAN - the execution of a plan requires the
issuance of orders and directives to units and personnel concerned, the establishment of a
schedule, and the provision of manpower and equipment for carrying out the plan. Briefings
shall be held with the assurance that all involved personnel understood when, how and what is
to be done.

9. EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PLAN - the result of the plan shall be
determined. This is necessary to know whether the correct alternative was chosen, whether the
plan was correct, which phase was poorly implemented, and whether additional planning may
be necessary. Also, the effects of the executed plan or other operations and on the total police
operations shall be determined. Follow-up is the control factor essential for effective command
management.
CRIME MAPPING
Crime mapping can be used by law enforcement agencies to help identify crime hotspots
and allocate resources more effectively. It can also be used by community groups and
individuals to better understand crime patterns in their neighborhoods and take steps to reduce
their risk of becoming a victim of crime.
CRIME MAP
A crime map typically displays different types of crimes using various symbols or colors,
such as dots, pins, or heat maps. These symbols are usually used to represent different
categories of crime, such as assault, robbery, theft, and burglary. The size and color of the
symbols may also represent the frequency and severity of the crimes.

POINT FEATURES
Point features in a crime map are used to represent the location of specific incidents of
crime. Each point represents a single crime event, such as a robbery, burglary, or assault, and is
plotted on the map at the location where the crime occurred.
Point features can be used to analyze the spatial distribution of crime in a particular
area. By plotting the location of individual crimes, patterns and hotspots of criminal activity can
be identified. This information can be used to allocate resources more effectively and develop
strategies for crime prevention.
