![[ANALYSIS] The PNP, through the eyes of the PNP](https://i.headtopics.com/images/2023/9/27/rapplerdotcom/analysis-the-pnp-through-the-eyes-of-the-pnp-analysis-the-pnp-through-the-eyes-of-the-pnp-609B57290704BC13E7F85EEE08C600FE.webp)
The image the PNP wants to portray is a force that is so hardworking that their targets are not only achieved but they are left behind in the dust of the boots of the policemen working to achieve more
I frankly don’t think the PNP take their targets seriously, in the sense of trying to set realistic targets. As additional evidence, I give you their PIs for Crime Investigation: their 2021 and 2022 targets are identical for the number of crime investigations , for the percentage of most wanted persons arrested increase, percentage of persons arrested within 30 days after receipt of warrant of arrest .
As for the number of crime investigations, not only were the targets identical for both years, the accomplishments were also identical . Here, as you can see the target was definitely underachieved, but the PNP managed to put themselves ahead: they reported that “the crime volume is significantly lower than the forecasted number of crimes for the year”. Yet, according to the same report, national index crime rate decreased by only 2.55% in 2021, while it decreased by 64% in 2022. Go figure.
There was, however, one performance indicator where the PNP was man enough to admit their failure/could not fudge the data because it had nothing to do with crimes, was in the area of MFO 3 – the Police Education Program: of the 33,800 PNP personnel who were targeted to take the mandatory Public Safety courses , only 12,683 took them, and only 642 passed. Target: 100%. Accomplishment: 1.89%. There were reasons given for this, among which were the national and local elections.
To summarize: the PNP, according to the PNP, achieved and greatly overachieved the 2022 operational targets they have set for themselves involving crime prevention/suppression, crime investigation, and police education. They will admit to only two failures: in the number of crime investigations and the number of PNP personnel who have passed the mandatory courses for police non-commissioned officers.
