The Community and Service-Oriented Policing System (CSOPS) is a strategy of policing that focuses on police building ties and working closely with members of the community. It refers to the promotion of peace and order and public safety and the strengthening of local government capability aimed towards the effective delivery of basic services to the citizenry.
It is carried out by a triumvirate composed of the Mayor, the police and the community. The legal basis of the CSOPS is Republic Act No. 8551.
The speakers in the seminar were Atty. Risty N. Sibay, OIC, Office of the Assistant Regional Director, who delivered the rationale; PLtCol Judy Mar F Bonilla,
Chief, PIDMU (overview of the Crime Situation); Atty. Ronald A. Luib Jr. (LCE Powers, Functions and Deputation); and, Atty. Lecel R. Llamedo (CSOP System Orientation and POPS Planning).
Atty. Giovanni J. Bravo facilitated the CSOP and Crime Assessment Workshop. The Oslob team presented an action plan that includes close coordination with the Dept. of Public Works & Highways and will involve barangay folks and other force multipliers to minimize road accidents in the LGU.
