 OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES

RULE 4. PRE-OPERATIONAL CLEARANCE

No police operation shall be conducted without the approval of the

Chief/Commander/Head of the concerned Police Unit Office. A pre-operational clearance shall
be filed by the Team Leader of the operating team/s prior to the conduct of the operation and
shall be approved by the concerned Police Unit Commander. This clearance shall be submitted
to the operations section/division of the concerned police unit for record purposes.

RULE 5. INTER-UNIT COORDINATION

5.1 Personal Coordination or by Official Representative

Team Leader/s (TL) of local police units operating outside their territorial jurisdiction
and National Support Units (NSUs) shall coordinate, personally or through an official
representative, with the Police Regional, Provincial or City Police whose jurisdiction the
operation is to be conducted.

5.2 Coordination by Filing Coordination Form

Before the launching of the operation, except in cases where the formal (in writing)
inter-unit coordination cannot be made due to the nature and/or urgency of the situation such
as, but not limited to, cross-jurisdictional pursuit operations, coordination should be made
formally using the prescribed Coordination Form, which shall be filed with the concerned
operation of the Police Regional, Provincial or City Office (Annex "A"- Coordination Form).

5.3 Coordination by Practical/Available Means of Communication

In cases where formal inter-unit coordination is not feasible, the Police Unit concerned
shall endeavor to notify the police officer through any practical/available means of
communication at any time during the operation and, if not possible, shall accomplish and
furnish the territorial Police Office a written incident report immediately after the termination
of the operation.

RULE 6. REQUIREMENTS OF POLICE OPERATIONS

6.1 Basic Requirements

Police operations like arrest, search and seizure, checkpoint, roadblocks, demolition, and civil

including the use of megaphones or any other similar instruments to warn or influence the
offenders or suspect/s to stop and/or peacefully give up.

6.3 Warning Shots Prohibited

The police shall not use warning shots during police intervention operations.

RULE 7. USE OF FORCE DURING POLICE OPERATIONS

7.1 Use of Excessive Force Prohibited

The excessive use of force during police operations is prohibited. However, in the lawful
performance of duty, a police officer may use necessary force to accomplish his mandated
tasks of enforcing the law and maintaining peace and order.

4 |LEA 4 Law Enforcement Operation with Crime Mapping – K.ABATAYO

7.2 Issuance of Verbal Warning

The police officer must first issue a verbal warning before he could use force against an
offender. As far as practicable, the verbal warning shall be in the dialect that is known to the
offender or in the national language. Basically, the verbal warning shall consist of the following:
the police officer identifying himself; his intention; and what he wants the offender to do. If the
offender is a foreigner, the verbal warning shall be done in the English language followed by a
demonstrative act of the police officer's intent. The verbal warning shall be done in a loud and
clear manner.

7.3 Non-Issuance of Verbal Warning When Excusable

The failure to issue a verbal warning is excusable in cases where the threat to life or
property is already imminent, and there is no other option but to use force to subdue the
offender.

7.4 Use of Non-Lethal Weapon

When a suspect is violent or threatening, and that less physical measures have been
tried and deemed inappropriate, a more extreme, but non-deadly measure can be used such as
baton/truncheon, pepper spray, stun gun, and another nonlethal weapon to bring the suspect
under control, or effect an arrest.

7.5 Application of Necessary and Reasonable Force

During a confrontation with an armed offender, only such necessary and reasonable
force should be applied as would be sufficient to overcome the resistance put up by the
offender, subdue the clear and imminent danger posed by him; or to justify the force/act under
the principles of self-defense, defense of relative, or defense of stranger.

7.6 Factors to Consider in the Reasonableness of the Force Employed

A police officer, however, is not required to afford the offender s attacking him the
opportunity for a fair or equal struggle. The reasonableness of the force employed will depend
upon the number of aggressors, nature, and characteristics of the weapon used, physical
condition, size, and other circumstances to include the place and occasion of the assault. The
police officer is given the sound discretion to consider these factors in employing reasonable
force.

7.7 Responsibility of the Police Officer in Charge of the Operation

The police officer who is in charge of the operation shall, at all times, exercise control
over all police personnel in the area of operation, and shall exhaust all possible means to apply
the necessary and reasonable force to protect lives and properties during an armed
confrontation.

RULE 8. USE OF FIREARM DURING POLICE OPERATIONS

8.1 Use of Firearm When Justified

The use of a firearm is justified if the offender poses an imminent danger of causing
death or injury to the police officer or other persons. The use of a firearm is also justified under
the doctrines of self-defense, defense of a relative, and defense of a stranger. However, one who
resorts to self-defense must face a real threat on his life, and the peril sought to be avoided
must be actual, imminent, and real. Unlawful aggression should be present for self-defense to
be considered as justifying circumstances.

8.2 Firing at Moving Vehicles Prohibited But with Exceptions

A moving vehicle shall not be fired upon except when its occupants pose an imminent
danger of causing death or injury to the police officer or any other person, and that the use of a
firearm does not create a danger to the public and outweighs the likely benefits of its non-use.

8.3 Parameters to be Considered in Firing at Moving Vehicles

In firing at a moving vehicle, the following parameters should be considered:

a. The intent of the suspect/s to harm the police officer or other persons;

5 |LEA 4 Law Enforcement Operation with Crime Mapping – K.ABATAYO

offender or offender must submit an incident report outlining the circumstances necessitating
the use of his firearm.

RULE 10. SPOT CHECKS/ACCOSTING AND PAT-DOWN SEARCHES

10.1 Grounds for Spot Check/Search

a. Spot Check/Accosting. The police officer may stop an individual for the purpose of
conducting a spot check/accosting only when reasonable suspicion exists. Reasonable
suspicion must be more than just a hunch or feeling. In justifying the stop, the police officer
must be able to point to specific facts that, when taken together with rational inferences,
reasonably warrant the stop.

Such facts include, but are not limited to the following;

(1) The appearance or demeanor of the individual suggests that he is part of a criminal
enterprise or is engaged in a criminal act;

(2) The actions of the individual suggest that he is engaged in criminal activity;

(3) Questionable presence of the individual in the area;

(4) The subject is carrying a suspicious object

(5) The suspect's clothing bulges in a manner that suggests he is carrying a weapon:

(6) The suspect has been found in the time and place proximate to an alleged crime;

(7) The Police officer has knowledge of the suspect's prior criminal record or involvement
in criminal activity, and

(8) The individual flees at the sight of a police officer.

b. Body Frisk/Pat-Down Search. A police officer has the right to perform a pat-down search if
the individual has been legitimately stopped with reasonable suspicion and when the police
officer has a reason to believe that the individual possesses weapon/s on his person and poses
a threat to the police officer’s or another person’s safety. Circumstances that may justify a pat-
down search.

(1) The type of crime believed to be committed by the subject, particularly crimes of
violence where the threat of use or use of a deadly weapon is involved;

(2) Where the police office handles several suspects;

(3) The time of the day and the location where the pat-down search took place;

(4) Prior knowledge by the police officer of the suspect's use of force and/or propensity
to carry deadly weapons;

(5) The appearance of the demeanor of the suspect;

(6) Visual indication suggesting that the suspect is carrying a firearm or other deadly
weapon; and

(7) Whenever possible, pat-down searches should be performed by police officers of the
same gender.

10.2 Procedures and Guidelines

a. Spot Check/Accosting

(1) When approaching the individual, the police officer shall clearly identify himself as a police
officer. If not in uniform, the police officer must identify himself by announcing his identity and
displaying an official identification card and/or badge.

(2) Police officers shall be courteous at all times but maintain caution and remain vigilant for
suspicious movements like attempting to retrieve the weapon, conceal or discard contraband,
or other similar actions.

(3) Before approaching more than one individual, police officers should determine whether the
circumstances warrant a request for back-up and whether the spot check/accosting can and
should be delayed until such back-up arrives.

9 |LEA 4 Law Enforcement Operation with Crime Mapping – K.ABATAYO

(4) Police officers shall continue their questions as to the person's identity, place of residence,
and other inquiries necessary to resolve the police officer's suspicion. However, in no instance
shall a police officer hold a person longer than the period reasonably necessary to be able to
make these limited inquiries and to resolve suspicions.

(5) Police officers are not required to inform the person of his rights under the law (i.e. Miranda
Warning, Anti-torture law, etc.) unless the person is placed under arrest.

b.Body Frisk/Pat-Down Search

When reasonable suspicion justifies a pat-down search, the search should be performed
with due caution, restraint, and sensitivity. Pat-down searches should be conducted in the
following manner;

(1) Whenever possible, pat-down searches should be conducted by at least two (2) police
officers, one to perform the search while the other provides a protective cover.

(2) Because pat-down searches are cursory in nature, they should be performed with the
suspect in a standing position, or with hands placed against a stationary object, and feet
spread apart. However, should an officer visually observe a weapon, a more secure search
position may be used like the prone (lying face down) position.

(3) In a pat-down search, officers are permitted only to feel the outer clothing of the suspect.
Police officers may not place their hands inside the pockets of the subject's clothing unless
they feel an object that could probably be a weapon, such as a gun, knife, club, or the like.

(4) If the suspect is carrying an object such as a handbag, suitcase, briefcase, sack, or other
similar items that may conceal a weapon, the police officer should not open the item but
instead put it in a place out of the suspect's reach.

(5) If the external patting of the suspect's clothing fails to disclose evidence of a weapon, no
further search may be made. If a weapon is found and the possession of which amounts to a
violation of the law, the police officer shall arrest the suspect and conduct a complete search of
his person.

10.3 Reporting after the Spot Check/Accosting or Pat-Down Search

If after conducting a spot check/accosting or pat-down search, the police officer has no
basis for making an arrest, he should record the facts of such spot check/accosting or pat-
down search and forward a report to the appropriate authority. If the spot check/accosting or
pat-down search gives a justification for a valid warrantless arrest, then an arrest shall be
made.
