WITH POLICE PLANNING
ADMINISTRATION OF POLICE ORGANIZATION
POLICE - one of the pillars of the criminal justice
system that has the specific responsibility of

within the society.
EVOLUTION OF THE POLICING SYSTEM
 ORIGIN OF THE WORD “POLICE”

THEORIES OF POLICE SERVICE
1. HOME RULE THEORY (H=C)
- Policemen are regarded as servants of the
community, who rely for the efficiency of their
functions upon the express needs of the
people.
- policemen are civil servants whose key duty
is the preservation of public peace and
security
2. CONTINENTAL THEORY (C=H)
- policemen are regarded as state or
servants of the higher authorities
- the people have no share or have little
participation with the duties nor connection
with the police organization.
CONCEPTS OF POLICE SERVICE
1. OLD CONCEPT
- police service gives the impression of being
merely a suppressive machinery
- this philosophy advocates that the
measurement of police competence is the
increasing number of arrests, throwing
offenders in detention facilities rather than
trying to prevent them from committing
crimes
2. MODERN CONCEPT
- regards police as the first line of defense of
the criminal justice system, an organ of crime
prevention
- police efficiency is measured by the
decreasing number of crimes
- broadens police activities to cater to social
services and has for its mission the welfare
of the individual as well as that of the
PRINCIPLE OF EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT
Division of work - work specialization can increase
efficiency with the same amount of effort.
Authority and Responsibility- authority includes
the right to command and the power to require
obedience. One cannot have authority without
responsibility.
Discipline - necessary for an organization to
function effectively, however, the state of the
disciplinary process depends upon the quality of its
leaders.
Unity of Command - subordinate should receive
orders from one superior only.
Scalar Chain - the hierarchy of authority is the order
of ranks from the highest to the lowest levels of the
organization. Shows the vertical hierarchy of the
organization which defines an unbroken chain of
units from top to bottom describing explicitly the flow
of authority.
