Status of the Barangay Personnel in the Maintenance of Safety and Security
Vol.3, No.1A
Abstract
Nowadays, pandemics have a significant impact on our lives, especially on our frontliners. They cause damage to our physical and mental health. As the coronavirus spread across the Philippines, barangay officials realized there would be several problems in responding to the COVID-19 epidemic. Fortunately, law enforcers and barangay personnel are natural problem solvers who have worked diligently to reduce and avoid major policing service interruptions in their communities. Our lupong tagapamayapa (lupon) has been obliged to make significant changes to its policing operations as the COVID-19 response guidelines have developed and rapidly evolved. Barangay officials have accordingly made maintenance schedules, response procedures, and safety and security, issuing emergency guidelines that instruct police and barangay tanods on how to regulate and protect our covered area in Barangay Kaligayahan. Barangay officials across Barangay Kaligayahan attempt to balance enforcement goals and employee safety. The researcher wants to determine if the barangay personnel have enough support in their field, especially in physical and mental health. The purpose of this chapter is to present a methodological approach taken to discover, from a psychological point of view, the personal experience of an individual who maintains security and security and their status at Barangay Kaligayahan in Quezon City. This chapter describes the purpose of this study and the systematic approach chosen. We will introduce you to the selected samples and explain how to collect data and the data analysis process. Finally, I will discuss this study's ethical issues and limitations.
The respondents of this research study are Barangay personnel and civilians living in Barangay Kaligayahan, Quezon City. The researchers were confident that these respondents could objectively provide adequate information for the study.
They need to amend Republic Act No. 7160, otherwise known as the Local Government Code, which was enacted into law to transfer control and responsibility for delivering basic services to the hands of local government units (LGU). Enhance the capability of police and fire officers, especially the barangay tanod, to address security threats and natural disasters. The government should provide a budget for the basic needs of barangay personnel, providing members of the barangay personnel insurance and other benefits and assistance to help them perform their functions effectively. Enhance the penalty and sanction for violators of the health and safety protocol.
