Recommendation
 To the PNP, as an organization they should enhance the

effectiveness of police officers and implementation of human-

rights related programs, share information and best practices on

human-rights based policing and provide guidelines on how to

implement human rights-based policing initiatives that

complement or support Oplan Tokhang.

Recommendation

 To 6th District Police Officers they should focus on a number

of trust-building activities. Emphasizing the need for hard

talks like open forum about race and policing in connection

with other government agencies.

Recommendation

 Consider the potential consequences of crime fighting strategies

for resident trust, track the community’s level of trust through

annual community surveys and should use residency incentive

programs to encourage officers to reside in public housing to

improve citizen-police exchanges and public safety.

Recommendation
 To the community members in District 6, Province of Cavite,

they should actively involve in community activities like

attending seminars regarding drug related programs such as

PNP Human Rights Development Program and develop

community organization and mobilization.

Recommendation

 To the Criminology students, to educate them on certain issues

related to the drug operations. Specifically, raise awareness by

providing students with information about different participant

role and group mechanisms involved in drug related programs.

Recommendation

 For future researchers, it is recommended that the study be

done in wide scale of population to secure more reliable

conclusion. Also the researcher should have sufficient time

and reliable resources in conducting a job.
