POLICE COMMUNITY AFFAIRS DEVELOPMENT DIMENSION

Under PNP MC No. 2019-046, the face of Police Community Relations was transformed into Police Community Affairs and Development (PCAD) embedded in the TAGATAGUYOD Master Plan. It is a more coherent, flexible, and strategic three-dimensional tool that allows police to address not only the issues in its information operations but also to inform, engage, influence, and lead the community to foster cooperation and cater to the needs of sustainable and long-lasting development both in local and national levels. In a nutshell, PCAD empowers both the police as a community and service-oriented agency and the community as stakeholders skyrocketing their progress. The PCAD has three dimensions namely, (a) Information Development Operation; (b) Public Information; and (c) Community Affairs and Development. The IDO, PI, and CAD are the three elements intertwined to form the PCAD similar to the Civil-Military Operation (CMO) of the AFP which is composed of Psychological Operations, Civil Affairs, and Public Affairs.[3]

The Information Development Operation uses contemporary technology, such as internet-based communication and other social media platforms, to share plans, programs, and actions of the PNP with the community in order to improve security, protection, quality of life, and commercial operations of the general public.
