Pnp Coordination Protocols Overview

Summary

The PNP Police Operational Procedures Manual emphasizes the importance of coordination with higher headquarters, other units, and local government before operations. Improper coordination, such as failing to submit pre-operation checklists or notify relevant agencies, can lead to case dismissals. Common issues include lack of documentation, jurisdictional overreach, and non-compliance with established protocols. These procedural missteps can result in drug operation cases being dismissed in court.

Why most cases on drug operation filed by PNP in court were dismissed due to improper coordination?
Cases on drug operations by the PNP are often dismissed due to improper coordination for several reasons:
- Lack of Proper Documentation: Failure to submit required pre-operation checklists and notifications.
- Jurisdiction Issues: Operations extending beyond the jurisdiction without proper coordination.
- Non-Compliance with Protocols: Deviations from established coordination protocols and procedures.
