AGENCY APPROACH)
 CHAPTER 1

EVOLUTION OF
POLICING SYSTEM
1.THE ANGLO-SAXON PERIOD (ANCIENT
ENGLAND)
A. TUN POLICING SYSTEM – forerunner
of the word town.
- Under this system, all male residents are
required to guard the town to preserve
the peace, maintain order, and protect life and
property from harm and disturbance.
Tithing = 10 families
Tithingman - leader of a tithing
Reeve - leader of 10 Tithing
Tithingman and Reeve - possessed judicial
power as well as police authority
B. HUE AND CRY
- A village stated in
law provided britainapprehending
which
criminal by an act of the complainant to
shout to methods of residents to
call all male
assesmble and arrest the suspect.
C. TRIAL BY ORDEAL
- a judicial practice wherein the guilt or
innocence of the accused is determined by
subjecting him to unpleasant, usually
dangerous experience.
Ordeal - from medieval latin word
Indicum" which means "Dei "a
decision". miraculous
2. NORMAN PERIOD POLICING SYSTEM
A. SHIRE-RIEVE - said to be the origin of
the word sheriff.
- a policing system during norman period
when England was divided into fifty-five
(55) military areas called shires, each
headed by a ruler called Rieve. The shire-
rieve had absolute powers that no one
could questions his or her actions.
Two (2) constabuli were appointed to each
village to aid the Rieve in his duties.
B. TRAVELLING JUDGE
- a judge selected to hear cases which were
formerly being judge by the shire-rieve and
tasked to travel through and hear
criminal cases.
- This was the first instance of the division of
the police and judicial power.
C. LEGIS HENRICI
- an act that was enacted during this period
with the following features:
* Offenses were classified as against the king and
inddividual.
* Policeman becomes public servant.
* The police and citizens have the broad power to
arrest. Thus, introduced the system called
citizen's arrest
* Grand Jury was created to inquire on the facts of
the law. A system which made inquisition onto the
facts of the crime and eliminate the anglo- saxon
trial or trial by ordeal system.
D. FRANKPLEDGE SYSTEM
- a system of policing whereby a group of
ten (10) neighboring male residents
over twelve (12) years of age were
required to guard the town to preserve
peace and protect the lives and properties of
the people.
3. WESTMINSTER PERIOD OF
POLICING SYSTEM
- it is called by this name because the laws
governing policing came out of the capital of
England, which at the time was
westminster.
- A. statute of westminster of 1285,
a collection of regulations aimed at keeping
the peace.
- guards were appointed and the duties of
the constables were defined.
B. STATUTE OF 1295
- the law that marks the beginning of the
curfew hours, which demanded the
closing of the gates of London during
sundown.
C. JUSTICE OF THE PEACE (about 1361)
- Three or Four men who were learned in
the law of the land were given authority
to pursue, arrest, chastise and
imprisonment violators of the law.
D. STAR CHAMBER COURT (1487)
- a special court designed to try offenders
against the state. The room set-up is
formed in a shape of star and judges
were given great powers such as the
power to force testimony from a defendant
leading to a great abuse of power or
brutality on the part of the judges.
4. KEEPERS OF THE PEACE
- a proclamation issued by King Richard of
England sometime in 1195 that required the
appointment of knights to keep the
King's peace by standing as guards on
bridges and gates while checking the
people entering and leaving the cities and
towns.
5. KING CHARLES II of England (1663)
- passed an act established or promoted the
employment of watchmen or bellmen to be on
duty from sunset to sunrise.
6. MAGNA CARTA or "THE GREAT CHARTER"
- a law promulgated by King John of England
upon the demand of the knights of the round
table forcing the king to sign the same with the
following features:
* no free man shall be taken, imprisoned, banished or
exiled, except by legal judgment of his peers.
* no person shall be tried for murder unless there is
proof of the body of the victim.
 THE MODERN POLICING
- In 1829, Sir Robert Peel introduced the
SYSTEM
Metropolitan Police Act which established
a full-time, professional and centrally-
organized police force for the greater
London area.
- He is regarded as the Father of Modern
Policing System.
PRINCIPLES OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ADVOCATED BY
SIR ROBERT PEEL
1. Prevention of crime is the basic mission of the police.
2. Police must have the full respect of the citizenry.
3. A citizen’s respect for law develops his respect for
the police.
4. Cooperation of the public decreases as the use of force
increases.
5. Police must render impartial enforcement of the law.
6. Physical force is used only as a last resort.
7. The police are the public and the public are the police.
8. The police represent the law.
9. The absence of crime and disorder is the test of police
efficiency.
 CHAPTER 2
LAW ENFORCEMENT
ORGANIZATION
AND
ADMINISTRATION
CONCEPTS
LAW - It is the system of rules that a particular
country or community recognizes as regulating
the actions of its members and may enforce by the
imposition of penalties.
ENFORCEMENT - Means to compel obedience
to a law, regulation or command.
ORGANIZATION - A group of person working
together for a common goal or objective. A
form of human association for the attainment of goal
or objective.
ADMINISTRATION - An organizational process
concerned with the implementation of objectives and
plans and internal operating efficiency.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE - The
systematic arrangement of the
relationship of the members, positions,
departments and functions or work of the
organization. It is comprised of functions,
relationships, responsibilities and
authorities of individuals within the
organization.
ORGANIZATIONAL CHART -
illustration in the form of a chart which
represents the organizational structure.
An
The mechanical means of depicting the
organizational structure.
 TYPES OF
1. LINE ORGANIZATIONORGANIZATION
- The straight-line organization,
AL STRUCTURE often called
the individual, military or departmental
type of organization.
- Simplest and perhaps the oldest type; but
it is seldom encountered in its channels of
authority and responsibility
- Direct line from top to bottom within the
structures
- Authority is definite and absolute.
2. FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION

- Rarely found in present day organizations,

except at or near the top of the very
large organizations.
- 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 manager” is limited to the
particular activity over which he has
control.
3. LINE AND STAFF ORGANIZATION

- The Line and Staff organization is a

combination of the line and functional
types.
- It combines staff specialist such as the
criminalists, the training officers, the
research and development specialists, 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,
Line FunctionsSTAFF,
- such AND as patrol, criminal
investigation, and traffic control as well as
supervison of AUXILLARY
personnel performing these
operation.
FUNCTION
a. carry out the major purposes of the
police department.
b. delivering the services provided by
the department.
c. dealing directly with the departments clientele.
d. making final decisions with respect to
the activities they perform.
Staff Functions - are those operations
designed to support the line functions.
Staff members are necessarily advisors,
often civilians with specialized training
which main function is to study police
policies and offer proposals to chief
executive of the department.
a. highly specialized
b. involved in an advissory capacity
c. detached from the public
d. not directly responsible for the
decisions made by department executive.
Auxillary Function - involve the logistical
operations of the department. These
include training, communications,
maintenance, record keeping, motor
vehicles and equipment and similar
operations.
 ELEMENTS OF ORGANIZATION
1. Specialization – is the assignment
of
particular workers to particular tasks.
2. Hierarchy of Authority – A hierarchy
represents the formal relationship among
superiors and subordinates in any given
organization. It can be visualized as a ladder,
with each rung (or rank) representing a higher or
lower level of authority.
3. Authority - Authority is the right to
command and control the behavior of employees
in lower positions within an organizational
hierarchy. A hierarchy thus serves as the framework
for the flow of authority downward (and
obedience upward) through the department.
4. Span of Control - A span of control is the
maximum number of subordinates at a
given position that superior can
supervise effectively.
5. Delegation of Authority - is the
conferring of an amount of authority by
a superior position onto a lower-level
position.
6. Unity of Command – each employee
should have only one supervisor.
7. Formal communications – process
of sharing and understanding an
information on common subjects.
 PRINCIPLES OF
Organizations are either formal or informal.
FormalORGANIZATION
organizations are highly structured while
informal organizations are those without
structures.
Every formal organization whether small or large
are governed by the following principles:

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 structure 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.
The scalar principles are:
a. Line of Authority and Chain of Command -
This principle of organization suggests that
communications should ordinarily go upward
through established channels in the hierarchy.
Diverting orders, directives, or reports around a level of
command usually has disastrous effects on efficiency of the
organization.
b. The Span of Control of a supervisor over personnel or
units shall not mean more than what he can effectively
direct and coordinate. In span of control, levels of
authority shall be kept to a minimum.
c. The Delegation of authority shall carry with it
a commensurate authority and the person to whom the
authority is delegated shall be held accountable
therefore. It implies that delegation must carry with it
appropriate responsibility.
d. The Unity of Command - explains that subordinates
should only be under the control of one superior.
1. Functional Principle – refers to division of
work according to type, place, time and
specialization.
2. 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 or
facilitative capacity.
3. Principle of Balance – states that the
application of principles must be balanced to
ensure the effectiveness of the structure in
meeting organization’s objectives.
7. Principle of Delegation by Results
– states that authority delegated should
be adequate to ensure the ability to
accomplish expected results.
8. Principles 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 the
more flexible the organization, the more it
can fulfill its purpose.
 OTHER PRINCIPLE OF
a. According toPOLICE
function - according to the
nature of theORGANIZATION
basis to be performed.
Similar and related duties may be
assigned to each.
b. according to time frame - most
elementary form of police organizaton.
Elements are divided into many shifts or
watches according to the time of the
day.

1. Bureau - the largest organic functional unit
within a large department. It comprises of
numbers of divisions:
2. Division - a primary subdivision of a bureau.

SOURCES OF MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY

1. Law
2. Tradition
3. Delegation
Responsibility – means that the
management shall be held accountable for
