The respondents "Strongly Agree" with the assessment of police officers' role in implementing Republic Act 9262 in terms of manpower, system and processes, finance, and logistics. According to our research, police personnel should concentrate on the legal system, including the court system's intricacies, the length of time it takes to acquire protection orders, and the challenges of getting convictions. In that instance, it will be beneficial for the victims to express their experiences. Encouraging victims to report what they experienced may be more successful.
