I. ABSTRACT

One of the wrongs brought by using digital technology is cybercrime. Cybercrimes meaningfully
affect individuals, and digital wrongdoing is being perpetrated consistently. Thus, the study aims
to determine the Training Needs Analysis among the Police officers in Tagaytay City regarding
implementing Republic Act 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. In order to find
out the essential facts and information with adequate and accurate interpretations, the researchers
used quantitative methods, specifically descriptive research and the design of this study. The
researchers physically surveyed to gather data and information needed in the input. The weighted
mean and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to analyze and interpret the data, frequency,
and percentage. The researchers discovered that the training needed by police officers in
Tagaytay regarding identifying computer-related crimes, processing digital and electronic
evidence, and awareness of legal procedures were highly aware. Lastly, it was found that there
is a moderate negative correlation between age and rank when correlated to their training needs
analysis and a weak negative correlation between years in service and the training needs analysis.
This indicates that the age, rank, and years in service go higher, the training needs decrease, and
vice versa. The result suggested that by R.A. 10175, the police officers in Tagaytay City must
undergo training seminars on computer-related crimes. Also, the need for research to further
understand the training needs analysis of Police Officers in implementing R.A 10175 is highly
recommended.
