PNP KASIMBAYANAN: UNIFIED EFFORTS OF THE POLICE, CHURCH AND

COMMUNITY TOWARDS DEVELOPMENT

Such thrust prompted PGEN RODOLFO S AZURIN JR, Chief, PNP to launch the revitalized PNP KASIMBAYANAN which stands for KApulisan, SIMbahan, at pamaYANAN, a joint partnership among police, church and community sectors envisioned to create lasting peace and unification working to bolster more vibrant and peaceful future.

This program is consistent with the CPNP’s advocacy framework dubbed as M+K+K=K (Malasakit, Kaayusan, at Kapayapaan tungo sa Kaunlaran) which was developed to stabilize and strengthen non-conflicting relationships in order to quickly address peace and security in the interest of the country’s advancement. It also supports the PNP Internal Cleansing Policy, which aims to remove misfits and punish erring PNP personnel in accordance with the law.

Within this frame of reference, the revitalized PNP KASIMBAYANAN was initiated to boost the alliance between the police and the community through synergized partnership, guided by the teachings and principles of religious organizations to work in harmony and elevate the people to be better, more responsible and righteous citizens anchored to promote attainable progress from any form of violence or deception.

Likewise, the people are the main promoters of peace and development, while law enforcement agencies uphold the law. Accordingly, it is impossible to achieve these shared objectives and interests without cooperation and support from various civil society and other groups/entities.

The Philippine National Police is an organization established to promote peace and order in the country. Maintaining peace-building processes requires effective communication and solid partnerships among diverse sectors, including the community and interfaith based organizations in aid of the police.

Hence, revitalized PNP KASIMBAYANAN is an innovative measure to building peace to support social growth and development in communities. This allinclusive engagement can be an efficient way to resolve conflict among the people to advocate peace and generate more advanced and impressive governance. Likewise, said PNP initiated program provides a novel approach to fostering peace and progress for the benefit of the country and people.
