Abstract

The problem of criminality is aggravated by the popular perception that crime is a very narrow sphere of behavior. Thus, this study aimed to assess the extent of implementation of the crime prevention programs employed by the Philippine National Police assigned at a certain City Police Station. Respondents of the study were the police personnel who were present during the administration of the questionnaire and the barangay officials who were chosen using a purposive sampling technique method. This study made use of the descriptive-correlational design. Results show that the assessment of the respondents as to the implementation of the different programs of the Philippine National Police is favorable and much implemented. This is attributed to the fact that this is the New Policing System. This, therefore, is a proactive approach to the maintenance of peace and order.
