Abstract

This study aims to assess the National Bureau of Investigation’s (NBI) fingerprint identification system and provide recommendations for enhancing the ongoing fingerprint card digitization project, which is crucial for establishing an Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). The findings indicate that, while the current digitization project aligns with AFIS development, there are opportunities for improvement. One key area is the simultaneous digitization of fingerprint specimens from various government agencies to enhance efficiency. Furthermore, data analysis revealed variations in respondents’ evaluations based on years of service and job positions. Specifically, those using the manual fingerprint identification system expressed different perspectives compared to those handling digital fingerprint records, likely due to differences in procedural familiarity and operational adaptation. Most respondents acknowledged the benefits of digitization, highlighting its potential to support law enforcement in criminal prosecution and to contribute to crime reduction, the criminal justice system, and other government initiatives. Based on these findings, the study recommends that the NBI collaborate with other law enforcement agencies to ensure connectivity and minimize redundancy in fingerprint digitization. Additionally, the NBI should conduct local workshops and international seminars on AFIS to continuously improve personnel skills and system capabilities. The study recommends enhanced inter-agency collaboration, regular training programs, and the systematic integration of digitized fingerprint records to ensure the successful implementation of AFIS.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic created not only threats to public health but also brought new and extraordinary challenges in the lives of law enforcement agencies worldwide. This study assessed the job performance of the Philippine National Police (PNP) frontliners during the COVID-19 pandemic in the three cities of the province of Cavite, Philippines. The self-made survey questionnaire was distributed conveniently to 384 residents per city. The study revealed that police assistance gained a very effective rating, however, the enforcement of Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) health protocols was rated only effective, and the PNP reliability during the pandemic was rated very effective. The implication of this study is that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the residents of the said cities still trusted the PNP frontliners even though they rated only effective in the enforcement of IATF health protocols.
