THE
DIRECTORATE
FOR
RESEARCH
AND
Research is a very broad human activity embracing various aspects of

mans existence. It is practically a conception resurrection concept that deals
with all the branches of knowledge. Research work, however, may be limited
depending upon the scope of the study being conducted, In law and justice, a
research may be undertaken to redefine police role as some legal adjustments
are made to adapt to social change. In law enforcement, research may be done to
resolve ethical problems within police agencies. The most common problem areas
being explored are in the organizational frontiers, behavioral patterns, processes
and procedures and value system.
Legal Bases of DRD
Republic Act 6975 establishes the Philippine National Police under a
reorganized Department of the Interior and Local Government, Section 25,
Chapter III thereof provides for its organization. Section 30, Rule VII of the
Implementing Rules and Regulations of the Act, provides that the Chief of the
PNP shall, within sixty (60) days from the activity of the Act and accordance with
the broad guidelines set forth therein, recommend the organizational structure and
staffing pattern of the PNP to the National Police Commission.

VII.6.4 The failure pressure determined by these may be

somewhat misleading in that the firings of excessive
but less than catastrophic pressures may have
severely pre-stressed the gun.
VII.7
VII.6.4.1In order to confirm the results of this test,

another unfired sampling is to be continually
fired at the catastrophic failure pressures
determined with the first sampling until
catastrophic failure is produced or until five

CHAPTER 3
Clothing and Criminalistics Equipment Division (CCED)

3.1
Introduction
The Clothing and Criminalistics Equipment Division (CCED) mainly reviews

and improves research and development and test and evaluation procedures and
capabilities regarding clothing and criminalistics equipment requirements of the
PNP. Its additional functions include the research and study of the latest
technology in scientific investigation and relevant equipment and facilities as well
as the supervision and monitoring of test and evaluation on clothing and
equipment procured by the Command.
The division is currently focused on testing and evaluation of clothing and
equipment, development of specifications and on the strict implementation of the
re newly issued PNP LOI 2005 TAMANG BIHIS Campaign to curb the illegal
manufacture, distribution, sale and use of PNP uniforms, insignias and other
accoutrements, including materials for their production.
These materials proliferate mainly because they are made available by
some suppliers and dealers in the open market. The situation is aggravated by the
patronage of some PNP personnel and unscrupulous and lawless individuals who
use the same for their illegal business interests.
131
The TAMANG BIHIS Campaign addresses the need to unify all efforts to
ensure that textiles and accoutrements of prescribed PNP uniforms are procured
only from authorized sources and sold only at the PNP Service Store System and
its outlets including PNP cooperatives and other accredited dealers and suppliers.
Clustered action plans have been formulated for the effective and
sustained implementation of the LOI. First is the dissemination of information to
manufacturers, dealers and suppliers as well as to PNP personnel regarding the
need for an aggressive campaign. Second is the intelligence and investigative
efforts on the modus operandi of these illegal entities including case build up
against them. Third is law enforcement thru active police operations, filing of the
necessary charges and imposition of immediate administrative sanctions. Fourth
is the establishment and full functioning of PNP Cooperatives and the issuance of
a Presidential Executive Order declaring PNP Cooperatives as distributors of
prescribed PNP uniforms, insignias and all other accoutrements, including the
materials for their production. The success of this campaign depends on the
cooperation and commitment of all parties concerned. The greater responsibility,
however, lies in its end user, the policeman, whose conscientious effort to curb
these unlawful acts by the Command, results to a better image for the PNP.
Function of CCED
Review and improve research and development and test and evaluation
procedures and capabilities regarding CCED requirements of the PNP.
Research and study the latest technology in scientific investigation including
relevant equipment and facilities;
Supervise and monitor the conduct of test and evaluation on Clothing
Criminalistic Equipment items procured by the PNP as to their feasibility and
acceptability; and
Perform other duties as directed by higher authorities.
