Background
Gone are the days, when we take things lightly to make remarkable growth to development…
We are in the world of continuous change…
“We owe it or “we blame it” to the fast transformation of information and communications technology (ICT) that now dictates an e-global way of life connected.
Like any organization in today’s world, the PNP, as part of the government’s national transformation program, is prompted to align itself with the fast-evolving trends where the quality service orientation is to get e-connected.
Our Existence
The PNP activated the Directorate for Information and Communications Technology Management (DICTM) as its response to the call of the national government to improve the quality of life of the people through ICT. It is part of a bigger strategy that outlines the grand plan of the government in meeting the demands and expectations of the public through service delivery and community partnership.
For this strategy to be effective, government offices initiated organizational changes to align to the government’s main strategic objectives and efficiently manage individual service plans. In the PNP it was exemplified by two necessary major initiatives: (1) the activation of the DICTM through GO# DPL09-08, with specific delegated authority, mission, vision and functions, and, (2) the inclusion of ICT in the PNP-Integrated Transformation Program to ensure that systems and technology roadmap is in place for use, expenditure and development.
The DICTM is relevant to ensure that the PNP ICT strategy supports national aims and objectives, and exercises appropriate actions, implementations and procedures of ICT in the PNP with the Performance Governance System (PGS) as the benchmark.

ICT in the PNP - An Assessment
“What we cannot measure we cannot improve”
For a starting point, the DICTM embarked on a comprehensive Assessment of the PNP’s ICT capability where it took note of the various ICT issues and concerns as the DICTM Staff rounded visits of the different Police Regional Offices.
The findings were published in November 2009 to serve as reference to better establish the levels of ICT priorities, appropriately manage allocation and distribution of ICT resources, and identify where policy support and standards are required.
ICT Assessment on
- Information Technology (IT) Capability
- Approximately 30% of computers in Police Stations nationwide are actually donations from LGUs and NGOs;
- Almost 90% of the total Police Stations that do not have computers came from PRO ARMM and PRO 8;
- 47% Have no internet access due to financial constraints; and
- 100% Have no internet access due to unstable signal or no Internet Service Provider (ISP) in their area.
- Communications Technology (CT) Capability
- PRO 4B was found to be the least equipped with only 13% of its City and Municipal Police Stations have radio communications; and
- Most of the radio equipment issued nationwide have defective battery packs.
- Public Safety Information System (PSIS)
- Data Warehousing
- E-Blotter System
- Camp Crame Wireless Network

Ten (10) Point ICT Agenda
Rationale
DICTM envisions an ePNP, that is, the PNP which is strengthened, reinforced, revitalized, enabled in the exercise of its law enforcement functions, by information and communications technology (ICT). With the rapid changes and developments brought about by ICT here and elsewhere, the need for integrating ICT as a vital component of law enforcement can not be understated, much less, overlooked. The PNP necessarily requires optimal utilization of ICT resources to complement its thrust towards its Integrated Transformation Program (ITP), making it a credible, capable and effective police organization faithful to its mandate and worthy of the people’s trust and confidence. With ITMS and CES, this Directorate will bank on the following Ten (10) Point ICT Agenda for the realization of this vision:
- ICT Policy Agenda
- ICT Organizational Development Plan
- ICT Research and Development Agenda
- ICT Communication/Advocacy Plan (ICTCAP)
- Systems Integration Plan
- ICT Training Plan
- Procurement Plan
- Special ICT Projects
- ICT Administrative Plan
- ICT Strategic Partnership and Network Plan
