DEFINITION OF POLICE ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION

• Police Organization is a structured group of trained personnel dealt with

achieving the goal of protecting life and property, ensuring public safety
and maintaining peace and order.

• Police Administration is simply refers to police in action which includes

the cooperative human effort to achieve the purposes of the Criminal
Justice System.

ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD POLICE

• The word police originated from the Greek word “politeia” which means
government of a city or civil organization and the state. The term used to
describe a group of civil officers governing the city.

CRIM PROF 212 1

• When the Romans conquered the Greeks, they changed the word slightly
to “politia”. During the reign of the French, they changed the word to
“police” and used it to describe authorized people who actually enforce
the law. The English and Americans borrowed the word from the French
and used it to describe a law enforcement officer.

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF POLICING

The idea of policing originated from the use of military bodies as
guardians of peace in ancient Rome known as Praetorian Guards.

1. Anglo-Saxon Period (Ancient England)

a. Frankpledge (mutual pledge)- under this system, every male over 12
years old join 9 of his neighbor to form a tithingmen who are tasked
to apprehend any person who offends another and delivers him for
trial.
b. Tun Policing- tun was the forerunner of the word town in which all
male residents were required to guard the town to preserve peace.
c. Hue and cry- a system of apprehending criminals whereby a
complainant goes to the middle of the community and shouts to call
all male residents to assemble and arrest the suspect.
d. Royal judge- started the identification of criminals through criminal
investigation and giving punishment.
e. Trial by ordeal- a system of determining guilt of a suspect by
undergoing an ordeal such as placing his hand in boiling water, not
having been hurt means that he is innocent, otherwise, he is guilty.
f. Thanes Policing System – it was introduced by King Alfred the great
where landowners acted as the internal police of their own territory
having the power to arrest offenders and settle civil litigations.

2. Norman Period
a. Shire Reeve System- England was divided into 55 military districts
known as shire-reeve. Shire was the district while reeve was the ruler.
It was the forerunner of the word sheriff.
b. Traveling judge- responsible in hearing cases taken from the shire
reeve due to some abuses. It was the forerunner of circuit trial court
judge.
c. Legis Henrie (Henry)- a law enacted which classified offenses against
the king and the individuals, made policemen public officials,
empowered police and citizens to conduct arrest and assigned grand
jury to inquire on facts of law.
d. Magna Carta- document sealed by King John of England that
became law upon the demand of the knights of the round table which
stated that no freeman shall be imprisoned except by legal judgment,
no person shall be tried of murder unless there is proof of the body of
the victim and that there shall be a national and local government and
legislation.

3. Westminster Period
a. statute of Winchester
• It was enacted for law and order
• It introduces the watch and ward system
b. statute of 1295
• This initiated the closing of the gates of London during sunset
• It stated the observation of the curfew hours
c. Justice of the peace
• This was a position given to the respected civilians to have the
power to arrest, pursue, and imprison offenders.
d. Star Chamber Court
• Initially established as a special court that tried offenders against
the state
• Later, became both a court of law to determine civil rights and a
court of revenue to enrich treasury

4. Modern Period
a. Night watchmen or bellmen
• They were deployed for duty from sunset to sunrise.
b. Bow Street Runner (thief catchers)
• It was organized by Henry Fielding in London
• Formed the Bow Street Horse Patrol whose duty was to patrol the
main roads and secure the travellers from highway bandits.
c. London Metropolitan Police
• It was established by Sir Robert Peel in 1829 which became the
world’s first modern organized police force;
• Later called as Scotland Yard

PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION BY ROBERT

PEEL
• A stable effective military organization of civic police under
government control;
• Absence of crime would be the best proof of the efficiency of the
police;
• Fast distribution of crime news to all the police was essential;
• The proper territorial distribution of the forces according to hours
and shift must be accomplished;
• No qualification more indispensable to a police officer than the
perfect command of temper since a quiet and determined manner has
more effect, and commands more respects , than violent action;
• Good appearance commands respects;
• Proper selection and training is the basis of efficiency;
• Public safety requires that every police officer be given a
distinguishing number.

CRIM PROF 212 3

THE POLICING PRINCIPLE OF ROBERT PEEL
1. “The basic mission for whom the police exist is to prevent crime and
disorder.”
2. “The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon public
approval of police actions.”
3. “Police must secure the willing co-operation of the public in voluntary
observance of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the
public”
4. “The degree of co-operation of the public that can be secured diminishes
proportionately to the necessity of the use of physical force”
5. “Police seek and preserve public favour not by catering to the public
opinion but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to the
law”
6. “Police use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of
the law or to restore order only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and
warning is found to be insufficient.”
7. “Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that
gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the
public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are
paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen
in the interests of community welfare and existence”
8. “Police should always direct their action strictly towards their functions
and never appear to usurp the powers of the judiciary.”
9. “The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, not the
visible evidence of police action in dealing with it.”

FUNDAMENTAL THEORIES OF POLICE SERVICE

a. Continental Theory – Police officers are considered servants of the
higher authorities and the people have little or no share at all in their
duties, nor any direct connection with them. This theory prevails
among continental countries, like France, Italy, Spain, where the
governmental structure follows the centralized pattern.
b. Home-Rule Theory – Police officers are considered as servants of the
community who depend for the effectiveness of their functions upon
the express wishes of the people. In this theory, police officers are
civil employees whose primary duty is the preservation of public
peace and security. This is practiced in England and in United States
of America, where the governmental structure is decentralized.

CONCEPTS OF POLICE SERVICE

a. Old Concept – police service is looked upon the police as merely as
repressive machinery. This old philosophy means throwing more
people in jail rather than keeping them out of jail. Under this

CRIM PROF 212 4

 concept, punishment is the sole instrument of crime control. The
yardstick of efficiency of the police is more arrest.

b. Modern Concept – police service considers the police as an organ of

crime prevention. Police service today has broadened its activities to
include certain aspects of social service and has for its objective the
welfare of the individual as well as that of the society. Under this
philosophy, the yardstick of efficiency of the police.

PRINCIPLES OF POLICE ORGANIZATION

1. Principle of Unity of Objectives – an organization is effective if it enables
the individuals to contribute to the organization’s objectives.
2. Principle of Organizational Efficiency – Organization efficiency is effective
if it is structured in such a way to aid the accomplishment of the
organization’s objectives with a minimum cost.
3. Scalar Principle – shows the vertical hierarchy of the organization which
defines an unbroken chain of units from top to bottom describing
explicitly the flow of authority.
4. Functional Principle – refers to division of work according to type, place,
time and specialization
5. Line and Staff – implies that a system of varied functions arrange into a
workable pattern. The line organization is responsible for the direct
accomplishment of the objectives while the staff is responsible for
support, advisory and facilitates capacity.
6. Principle of Balance – states the application of principles must be
balanced to ensure the effectiveness of the structure in meeting
organization’s objectives.
7. Principle of Delegation by result – states that authority delegated should
be adequate to ensure the ability to accomplish expected results.
8. Principle of absoluteness of responsibility – explains that the
responsibility of the subordinates to their superior for performance is
absolute and the superior cannot escape responsibility for the
organization on activities performed by their subordinates.
9. Principle of Parity and Responsibility – explains that responsibility for
action cannot be greater than that implied by the authority delegated
nor should it be less.
10. Authority Level Principle – implies that decisions within the authority of
the individual commander should be made by them and not be returned
upward in the organizational structure.
11. Principle of Flexibility – means that more flexible the organization, the
more it can fulfill its purpose.

Howard Taft as its first governor-general. On January 9, 1901, the Metropolitan Police
Force of Manila was organized pursuant to Act No 70 of the Taft Commission. This has
become the basis for the celebration of the anniversary of the Manila’s Finest every
January 9th.

ELEMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION

1. SPECIALIZATION - The assignment of particular workers to particular
tasks. Thus, it can be thought of in terms of either jobs or people.

2. HEIRARCHY OF AUTHORITY - Hierarchy represents the formal

relationship among superiors and subordinates in any given
organization. It can be visualized as a ladder with each rung
representing a higher or lower level of authority. Authority is the right to
command or control the behavior of employees in lower positions within
an organizational hierarchy

3. SPAN OF CONTROL - Span of control is the maximum number of

subordinates at a given position that superior can supervise effectively.

4. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY - Delegation is the conferring of an

amount of authority by a superior position onto a lower-level position.
The person to whom authority is delegated becomes responsible to the
superior for doing the assigned job.

5. UNITY OF COMMAND - It means that each employee should have only

one supervisor or “boss”.

TYPES OF POLICE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURES

a. Line Organization – The straight line organization, often called the

individual, military or departmental type of organization is the
simplest and perhaps the oldest type; but it is seldom encountered in
CRIM PROF 212 7
 its channels of authority and responsibility extends in a direct line
from top to bottom within the structures, authority is definite and
absolute.
b. Functional Organization – The functional organization in its pure
form is rarely found in present day organization, except at or near the
top of the very large organization. Unlike the line type of structure,
those establishments organized on a functional basis violate the
prime rule that men perform best when they have but one superior.
The functional responsibility of each “functional manger” is limited to
the particular activity over which he has control, regardless of who
performs the function.
c. Line and Staff Organization – Is a combination of the line and
functional types. It combines staff specialists such as the criminalist,
the training officer, the research and development specialist etc.
Channels of responsibility is to “think and provide expertise” for the
line units. The line supervisor must remember that he obtains advice
from the staff specialists.

CLASSIFICATION OF LINE STAFF AND AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS

• Line functions – are the backbone of the police department which
include patrol, investigation and traffic control which is performed by
“line members” including patrol officer, sergeant and the chief of police.
• Staff functions – are those operations assigned to support the line
functions, staff members are necessarily advisors who are typically
assigned to planning, research, legal advice and budgeting. Staff
members are often civilians with specialized training. The main function
is to study police policies and practices and to offer proposals to the
chief executive of the department.
• Auxiliary functions – involve the logistical operations of the department
including training, communications, jailing, maintenance, record
keeping and similar operations.
