I. ABSTRACT

This study focuses on the perception of police worldwide, different societal difficulties, and
problems experienced by the community in progressing society. Crime is one of these
problems. Crime is an aspect of life that all citizens must deal with, as it has been around as
long as civilization (Holzman-Escareno, 2012). Law enforcement agencies, especially the
Philippine National Police (PNP), created anti-criminality campaigns to deal with the problems
connected to the crime experienced by the community. Anti-Criminality Campaign has been
defined as any operation which is conducted by the police for crime prevention and crime
solution. A Case study design was used in the study. It is an intensive, systematic investigation
of a single individual, group, community, or some other unit in which the researchers examine
in-depth data relating to several variables. Semi-structured interviews were selected to carry
out this research study. They allowed the participants to elaborate and provided more
flexibility, range, and the capacity to elicit more information from the participant. Semistructured interviews permit scope for individuals to answer questions more on their terms than
the standardized interview permits, yet still provide a good structure for comparability over
that of the focused interview. General Emilio Aguinaldo police ensured public safety is the
priority of anti-criminality campaigns by increasing police presence and disseminating
information on crime prevention. The fact of General Emilio Aguinaldo Police Station is a
distinctive feature for the residents of General Emilio Aguinaldo, as it provides anti-criminality
campaigns. The individuals who participated in the study shared information by giving
seminars to inform the public about police campaigns and crime prevention. General Emilio
Aguinaldo municipality residents learned about crimes and how to combat them. The study's
respondents shared crime prevention advice on social media to give people more ways to get
information, as everyone has access to social media today. This was a great strategy. The anticriminality campaign of General Emilio Aguinaldo police station is effective in some areas but not in others. Five major themes emerged from the data collected: 1. Effective Anti-Criminality Campaigns Through Visitations; 2—effective Anti-Criminality Campaigns Through Police Visibility; 3. Adequate Information Drive Through Seminars; 4. Social Media as AntiCriminality Platforms; and 5. Incognizant Citizen.
