Abstract :
An environment that is safe, secure, and
orderly is necessary for the attainment of the Filipino
people's long-term vision of a matatag, maginhawa, and
panatag na buhay for everyone. This primary goal of this
study determined the role of civil society in crime
prevention in the Municipality of San Jose, Camarines
Sur, Philippines. This study combined quantitative and
qualitative research methods in order to ascertain the
roles of civil society in the PNP's crime prevention in the
study sites. The study's findings suggested that the
Philippine National Police, civil society organizations,
barangay officials like the barangay captain, sanguniang
bayan member, and barangay tanod, as well as the local
population, are aware of the civil society's limitations in
terms of its ability to prevent crime in the San Jose
municipality of Camarines Sur. Consequently, we
require a solid relationship between the police
department and the community in order to strengthen
our crime prevention strategies. The government has a
responsibility to make sure that all Filipinos can go
about their social, economic, and business activities
without fear of harm coming to them or their property
when walking and traveling across the entire nation.
Furthermore, the government must protect national
interests, territory, and sovereignty as the nation strives
for greater economic development.
