Peace initiatives

A long time ago, the United States Security Council undertook a project with its pilot being in California, to educate members of a community to band together to form an alert, vigilant body that would aid each other in providing help, getting immediate police response, securing emergency technicians during medical and health crises, among others.

This was done by deploying a capable group of social development experts with key specializations in community organizing, forming and harnessing social networks that provided the key role in molding the pilot project communities.

Results from the project were highly positive. This kind of model will be adapted in the Philippines through the effort of the Philippine National Police and the active involvement of stakeholders in the communities all around the country.

The November 30 2013 Conference

A Summit on Community-Led Peace, Security and Safety

Various stakeholders in the preservation of peace and order in the community will attend the Summit on Community Peace, Security, Safety scheduled at the end of the year 2013 with the main venues at the Philippine International Convention Center and Manila Hotel.

The diplomatic community will be invited to participate in the event to glean from our brothers from foreign countries their own experiences in keeping the peace and stability in their very own communities that they call home.

In vague form, peace, safety, security, order and stability is often discussed as if these were mere concepts, ideas, consequential aspects of life, career, vocations and others.

However, safety is only seldom talked about in relation to habitat, except when trouble happens, crime takes place and terrorism reaches our doorsteps.

The ultimate discussion of safety, peace, security, order and stability should nevermore be done far from the place we call home. Peace and order, security, safety must be an adjunct of the conditions prevailing in where we live, where we raise our families, where we reaffirm and re-create ourselves to be able to face the outside world anew.

In the light of too many targeted violence incidents in the United States, even Europe and many other countries, we have to bring the concept of upholding the peace and safety of the person and security of property down to the grassroots. Therefore, in many and in all orchestrations towards keeping the peace, maintaining the order, the community itself must become the lead participant.

Hence, beyond the age-old dictum of people participation, of community involvement, our call is for community-led efforts. Let the communities lead!

The communities have nothing to lose but their chains!

Community Safety Project

The project Community Peace and Order, Security and Safety (CSS) Program of the led by the private sector in cooperation with PCRG PNP began being conceptualized during the time of Gen. Vidal Erfe Querol who requested a project for community based policing. It was called Community Watch Project and later renamed as SCLC NCRPO.

CSS became the response to that need. At the present time, community policing is gradually being institutionalized from the top to the bottom echelons of the Philippine National Police.
