📄 Abstract
The Philippine National Police (PNP) plays a critical role in enforcing Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) protocols to enhance community safety and mitigate the impact of disasters. This study, titled Perceived Compliance and Protocol Enhancement of the Philippine National Police in Disaster Risk Reduction Management: A Multi-Group Analysis, assessed the extent of PNP compliance across the pre-disaster, disaster response, and post-disaster stages in the municipalities of Tubod, Baroy, Lala, and Kapatagan in Lanao del Norte. The research aimed to evaluate PNP performance in alignment with existing guidelines, specifically PNP Memorandum Circular No. 2020-081, and examined perceptions from four distinct respondent groups: PNP personnel, Barangay Officials, Barangay Peacekeeping Action Team (BPAT) members, and MDRRMO personnel. Using a descriptive comparative research design with a quantitative approach, the study employed a self-administered questionnaire as the primary data collection instrument. Data was collected through a survey and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study identified areas needing improvement and recommended targeted strategies to enhance disaster preparedness and inter-agency coordination.
