A

Purpose of the Police Community Relations Month

  • To foster closer interaction between the police and the community in addressing peace and order concerns.
  • To enhance the public image of the police, thereby encouraging community support for effective policing.
  • To contribute towards achieving a peaceful and orderly society.

Rationale for Changing the Month of Observance

  • January, the original month of observance, coincides with PNP Ethics Day and PNP Founding Anniversary, which may dilute focus.
  • July is considered a more suitable month to effectively carry out activities that promote police-community relations.

Authority and Effectivity

  • The amendment was made under the legal powers vested in the President of the Philippines.
  • Officially signed and sealed in Manila on January 24, 2005, by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Executive Secretary Eduardo R. Ermita.
