The Nueva Ecija Police Provincial Office has long realized that crime prevention has never been the
sole responsibility of the police. When the community and the police band together, they can help
each other and effectively reduce crime in our neighborhoods.

The PNP has introduced programs that could strengthen stronger ties between the community and
the police. The Community Policing principle was being observed, thus, the implementation of the
Police Community Precinct which aims to bring the policemen closer to the community. The Nueva
Ecija Police Provincial Office, on the other hand, has established the Integrated Patrol System
wherein civilian security units and patrol tanods take part in the patrol.  These programs were found
to be successful and its success was due to the cooperative involvement of police and citizens.

Barangay Watch

    You can do your part and participate in these crime prevention programs by joining the
    Barangay Watch. By donating a small amount of your time to observe and report suspicious
    activities in your barangay, you can be one of thousands of citizens who are contributing to
    the prevention of crime.

    The objective, of this program is to organize communities where residents are trained to be
    alert to potential crimes in their barangay. Citizens are trained to keep watchful eyes on
    neighbors' homes and be alert to any suspicious or unusual activity that is occurring close to
    residences or offices. Patrol in the barangays or school premises can be accomplished by radio-
    equipped vehicles or foot patrol. With the quick identification of a potential problem in your
    area, our policemen in the PCPs can provide a prompt response and the trained personnel to
    investigate any reported incident or suspicion.

    Our policemen can provide professional assistance in developing security measures for your
    own home, office and schools. We could also provide free security inspections. To establish your
    active participation in the Barangay Watch, we can provide you with call cards bearing our
    direct access SMS number.


WAYS YOU CAN ASSIST OUR POLICEMEN IN CRIME PREVENTION

    1.        CITIZEN PATROL

    Join your existing barangay tanods and neighbors in volunteering your eyes and ears on a
    regular basis to watch your barangay and report anything suspicious to the nearest Police
    Community Precinct. Thieves and vandals are likely to go elsewhere when they know
    concerned citizens are "all eyes" for them! Contact the Police-Community Relations Officer or
    the Chief of Police for assistance in organizing and training citizen patrol volunteers in your
    barangay.

    2.        REGULARLY DIALOGUE WITH YOUR PCPs.

    Maintain close coordination with policemen assigned in your neighborhood. They can inform
    you of the latest crime bulletin and keep you updated on identities of stolen vehicles and
    identification of known and dangerous criminals.

    3.        OBSERVE PERSONAL AND PROPERTY SECURITY

    Securing yourself and your property is a big reduction on the burden of the police. Crime
    prevention begins with personal security, If we could secure ourselves and our property then
    crime could never occur at all. We thank those thousands of concerned and involved citizens
    of the province of Nueva Ecija who appreciate our crime prevention programs. I hope you will
    become interested in this program. We'll be happy to welcome you and join us in making
    Nueva Ecija a safe place to live in.

Business Watch

    Making Crime Prevention Your Business

    As a businessman, you know that crime affects your business, your employees and your
    customers. It also affects the other businesses in your community. That is why the Ecija Police
    Provincial Office is introducing you to Business Watch. This valuable crime prevention program
    encourages businesses to work together to protect their common interests.

    The Business Watch concept is simple - it’s businesses watching out for businesses. When
    businesses actively watch out for one another, it helps reduce the incidence of crime in our
    community. It is this cooperative effort which makes the program successful.

    This information introduces you to Business Watch and contains some common sense reminders
    on how to prevent crime. The Nueva Ecija Police Provincial Office Police Community Relations
    Division is ready to train you and your employees and assist you in becoming an active Business
    Watch participant. By working together we all benefit.

    The Three Types of Business Watches

    1.        Retail Establishments

    Retailers, particularly those located in shopping centers, join together to watch for and
    report suspicious activity.

    2.        Business Offices

    Employees work together to promote safety and security practices in the office
    environment.

    3.        Service Vehicles

    Businesses with radio equipped company vehicles are ideally suited for Business Watch. As
    they conduct business throughout the province, employees are alert for criminal activity
    or traffic problems and promptly notify police.


How to Get Involved

    There are Police Community Relation Officers at each police station who will provide training to
    your employees. Employees must be trained annually for a business to be certified as a Business
    Watch participant. Your business will receive a window decal signifying its participation in the
    program.


Preventing Crime At Your Business

    1.        Suspicious Activity

    •        Call the police at once if you notice suspicious strangers loitering in or near your
    place of business, particularly around opening or closing times.
    •        Business persons preparing to make a bank deposit should always be alert for
    strangers loitering near or at the bank. If in doubt, don’t make the deposit while a
    suspicious person is in the area.
    •        Any suspected criminal activity should be reported to the police immediately.

    2.        Robbery Prevention

    •        Never block the view into your store by filling windows with too many displays.
    Robbers don’t want to be seen, and they’re less likely to choose a business if people can
    see what’s going on inside.
    •        Keep cash on the premises to a minimum.
    •        Make frequent pick ups of money from registers and make regular bank deposits.
    •        Try not to work alone. Studies have indicated that the presence of more employees
    may reduce the incidence of armed robbery.

    3.        Burglary Prevention

    •        Install quality locks on doors and windows .
    •        Interior and exterior lighting is important. Lighting may prevent the burglar from
    concealing his illegal activities. Consider installing an alarm system and train your
    employees in its proper use. Knowing your business is equipped with an alarm may be
    enough to deter some criminals

    4.        Shoplifting

    •        Greet and approach all customers and offer to provide assistance.
    •        Keep expensive items away from entrances.
    •        Develop a policy to deal with shoplifters.
