In January 2013, the Center for Man and Society proposed to government an integrated action plan specially designed to mold a culture of cooperation and positive morale between the residents in a community and their law enforcement officers. The action plan, suggested to the Philippine National Police derives information inputs from both the public and private sector through the building and utilization of unique social infrastructures. The significance of the action plan is that it includes handling of macro issues that are of monumental significance and relevance to the Philippine National Police.

- Assembled important stakeholders to critique and improve the plan to bring about community peace, order, safety and stability and allow the people themselves to take the lead in the process.
Administration. Limited special activities to be undertaken:
Signing Tripartite Agreement. This distinctive covenant, while very specific and targeted in scope, will be the cornerstone of a cooperative venture between the PNP, a service provider, the homeowners’ groups and / or local communities and service provider.
The role of PNP is to provide the spearhead for the action plan. This entails building social infrastructures and embed applicable software (techniques/tactics) to reduce crime, potential terror attacks, political violence, and acts of anarchy, among other similar occurrences. The key players on one side in this undertaking are homeowners’ groups all over the country or their counterpart local villages not covered by organized homeowners’ organizations. On the other side, the service provider is tasked with the social infrastructure building and putting in place needed software.
The PNP’s positioning in the resulting social infrastructure, will be its current post as keeper of the peace and order in the community and in Philippine society. On the other hand, the homeowners’ groups and local communities will be the key information sources of the PNP, while the service provider component will be the constructor or builder of the infrastructures.
Special research-communication audit. The value of the PNP HOTLINE 117 is in the database that it will be able to generate. Together with the database from other units, special audit of selected target individuals / units for evaluation of current communications by selected parties as well as the involvement of members of the service therein, in relation to selective high profile issues.
Evaluating the action plan. The following method for measuring results will take the form of:
- monthly report on work in progress;
- formalized reports for presentation at staff meetings;
- periodic briefings of the higher authorities
- year-end summary for the annual report; and,
- a national assessment Summit on Community Security, Safety Peace and Order at the end of the year 2013.
