Abstract :
This topic pertains to the identification of the
effectiveness of the Mobile Patrol Unit in Bulusan
Sorsogon, including the perception of the people
particularly the business-owners based on the programs
implemented by the Mobile Patrol Unit. It was
previously conducted in the exclusive jurisdiction of the
municipality of Bulusan, a fourth-class municipality of
the province of Sorsogon, Philippines. The researcher
believed that the result of this study could be more
beneficial to the said patrol unit in order for them to
improve programs and techniques to produce more
efficient service to the people. To be able to possibly get
the data needed for this study, the researcher used a
qualitative research method blended with a descriptive
approach. Participants of this study came from the two
group of respondents, one from the group of the
Philippine National Police (PNP) patrol units (Mobile
Patrol Units - MPU) and the other is from the group of
the business-owners. Data shows that the Mobile Patrol
Unit have their different programs in order to promote
the peace and order in the said municipality; their
identified programs are: (a)Increased Police Visibility,
(b)Positive Attitude, and (c)Multi-Faceted Response.
Identified programs are said to have a better
effectiveness in as far as the anti-criminality campaign is
concern. The low count of crime rate in the said
municipality evidenced the said effectiveness of the
patrol unit. The greater the program of crime
prevention, the greater also the probability to deny the
opportunity to commit crime. It also revealed the
different positive experiences of the business-owners as
to the anti-criminality campaign of the said patrol unit,
the identified responses as to the experiences are
(a)Community Satisfaction, (b)Good Police
Performance, (c)People and Business Security, and
(d)Limited Patrol Areas. It evidenced also the
effectiveness of the patrol unit of Bulusan municipality.
However, the other group of respondents (businessowners) argued that despite of having a good experience,
they want to extend the area coverage of conducting
patrol by the said unit as it does not reach the far distant
barangays in the said municipality. It is exclusively
conducted within the entire jurisdiction of the town
without significant extension of patrol to the distant
areas. Therefore, the researcher concluded that despite
of having a better patrol experience of the business
owners, the MPU has its own limited area during the
times when they are conducting patrol in the
municipality of Bulusan, province of Sorsogon.
