Abstract:

The community is now part of police organizations. Police must work in a law-breaking community that needs aid. The community supports and complains about the police, but most importantly, it evaluates their performance. PNP-approved permanent roadblocks must be handled by local uniformed personnel. Mobile checkpoints may be put up by other units with the local unit/station commander. The research will help the Cotabato City Police Office and all motor vehicle drivers entering the city enhance, maintain, and enforce the order to minimize unregistered, unlicensed, car-napped, and inebriated drivers.
