Abstract


The study determined the level of implementation of the peace and order programs among the selected barangays in the Quezon City Police District. It also sought to present the issues and concerns that hindered the implementation of the peace and order programs. Peace and order are essential ingredients in maintaining economic development, social order and political stability. A condition of peace and order facilitates the growth of investments, generates more employment opportunities and attracts more tourists. In this study, the peace and order programs of the Quezon City Police District were assessed. Specifically, it examined the level of implementation of the peace and order programs among the selected barangays of the Quezon City Police District and surfaced the issues and concerns of the barangays and the police in the implementation of the peace and order programs. A mixed method of Quantitative and Qualitative survey research design, with the aid of a validated and reliability-tested questionnaire and interview guide questions, was used in this study. Three hundred and eighty-nine residents, 10 barangay officials, and ten police officers participated in this study. Findings showed that the peace and order programs among the selected barangays of Quezon City Police District were “moderately implemented” and that there is a significant difference in the level of implementation, according to the different barangays. Furthermore, issues and concerns encountered by the barangays and the police in the implementation of the peace and order programs include illegal parking, children violating curfew ordinance, difficulty in the implementation of the law because of lack of cooperation from among the community members, limited coverage of patrol, absence of citizens' crime watch, and lack of residents’ participation. Overall, the results of the study revealed that the peace and order programs among the selected barangays of the Quezon City police district were not fully implemented.
