However, in rare instances when the RAC cannot, for some reasons,
convene or agree on crucial matters which affect the P.O.L.A.R.I.S. program, and
when time is of the essence that action must be taken swiftly, the RAC may, on its
own, communicate to, and forge agreement with, the concerned party, subject to
the review and confirmation of the Advisory Council later on.
Clearly, the P.O.L.A.R.I.S. Program is not only holistic in its approach and view of
policing, but it is likewise centered on the concept of human flourishing and
mutual-aid. The P.O.L.A.R.I.S. Program, by actively engaging the Community, is trying
to win over the ultimate force multiplier: the people, or the community residents.
PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATIONS
This is promoted, in the final analysis, to win over the support of the Community
because it results to positive policing. Ultimately, therefore, the community is best
served by capable PNP personnel that effectively uphold the rule of law resulting in
a safer place to live, work and do business.
The RAC believes that a genuine community support may never be possible
without anchoring it to something more fundamental and basic, as the
philosophical basis which the concept of human flourishing and mutual aid
provides.
which the community needs. The PNP needs the help of the community. In the

same manner that the community, without the PNP, cannot achieve the much
needed peace and order for it to thrive and to develop. In short, the shared goal
of the PNP and the Community for peace and order can only be achieved and
sustained if PNP and the Community mutually aid each other.
The premise of the argument for the P.O.L.A.R.I.S. Program begins with the
realization that the PNP and the Community are part of a larger human
organization which demands mutual assistance and mutual aid for its proper and
continued functioning and existence. If the men and women of the PNP learn, by
heart, that their organization exists for the community, operates within the
community, and is part of the community, then the PNP will be supported
genuinely and selflessly by the Community, whose residents will, likewise, realize that
the PNP is a natural extension of their community.
The following are the ten (10) major objectives of the P.O.L.A.R.I.S. PROGRAM:
1. To utilize existing local resource institutes (LRIs), such as, but not limited to,
Higher Education Institutions, Professional organizations and associations,
Business enterprises, and others, found to be operating in Cagayan Valley
in promoting and achieving the Charter Statement, Mission, and Vision, of
the POLICE REGIONAL OFFICE 02 under the PNP PATROL Plan 2030;
7. To provide the Business sector and the NGO to contribute directly to the
building of a more peaceful and orderly community where business and
other activities may be best pursued;
10. To effectively and genuinely win over community support for the
POLICE REGIONAL OFFICE 02 and empower communities to actively
engage in activities which strengthen and contribute to the common
good of the Cagayano and the Filipino people;
The first perspective is "resource management." For the PNP to eventually realize
its vision, the resources provided in pursuit of its mission should be "adequate".
Moreover, those resources provided should be used "optimally."
The POLICE REGIONAL OFFICE 02, through the P.O.L.A.R.I.S. Program, aims to
compliment its activities under this strategic perspective by way of engaging
the assistance and contribution of its key partners and stakeholders.

The second perspective is "learning and growth." This is crucial for the
POLICE REGIONAL OFFICE 02 because it cannot keep doing the same things as
in the past if it is to realize its vision by 2030. The POLICE REGIONAL OFFICE 02
joins the entire PNP organization in the realization that 'status quo' and 'doing
business as usual' is not an option anymore. Thus, it has to invest in people and
processes so it can win "stakeholders' support" and undertake proper, efficient
and effective "management of its resources."

The third perspective is the "process excellence". This refers to the different
processes and practices the PNP uses in carrying out its mission. The four
(4) processes of "intelligence", "investigation", "operations" and "community
relations" are given top consideration. In addition, two (2) concrete
strategic priorities are highlighted. These are: "improvement on crime
prevention and control" and "improving community safety awareness
through community- oriented and human rights-based policing".

with a view towards strengthening the partnership and cooperation it should
be forging with the communities it serves. Ultimately, the community is best

b. Establishing a PNP outpost/Office within CSU Carig Campus would save the
PNP the cost of purchasing real property necessary to establish the same if it
is done in other areas. Once inside the Campus, the PNP Office/ outpost
could be supported by the Campus in terms of its office equipment,
computers, printers, telephone line, internet connectivity, and others. The
Police personnel assigned in the PNP Office/ outpost could also be assisted
by the Campus in their ordinary office works, such as encoding, etc., by way of
being given On the Job trainees;
c. The CSU Carig PNP outpost would also satisfy the need for police presence
and response for areas covered by the Regional center.
The P.O.L.A.R.I.S. Program, in this particular context, satisfies the need of CSU,
the mandate of RAC - ADOPTED PS, and the requirements of the various
Regional Government Agencies in the Regional Government Center. It likewise
brings the PS services to communities which may require police presence or
visibility for Crime Prevention.
Fund raising activities, under the P.O.L.A.R.I.S., to directly benefit the POLICE
REGIONAL OFFICE 02, shall be regulated and guided, by the RAC, applying regular
accounting and auditing rules and regulations.
