Exploring The PNP Regional Anti-Cybercrime Unit 5 Capability On Cybercrime Challenges: An Empirical Analysis

Author(s) Ms. PHOEBE ALMERIZ CALUPIT
Country Philippines
Abstract This research investigates the operational effectiveness of the Philippine National Police Regional Anti-Cybercrime Unit 5 (PNP-RACU 5) in addressing cybercrime challenges in the Bicol region. As cyber threats evolve with technological advancements, specialized law enforcement units require ongoing development in personnel, logistics, and training to effectively combat these crimes. The study identifies critical constraints such as limited resources, insufficient training, technological complexities, and legal ambiguities as key factors hindering effective cybercrime response. Additionally, the research explores divergent perceptions among key stakeholders—PNP personnel, the academic community, and cybercrime victims—regarding the unit’s capabilities. Through a comprehensive Threats, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Strengths (TWOS) analysis, the study proposes actionable strategies to enhance the unit's cybercrime investigation and prevention capabilities. Utilizing a mixed-method approach, the research underscores the necessity of strengthening institutional adaptability, operational readiness, and stakeholder perceptual alignment. The findings highlight the urgent need for modernized training programs, adequate logistical support, clarified legal frameworks, and increased intersectoral collaboration. This study aims to inform policy decisions and improve cybersecurity frameworks regionally and nationally, offering a strategic blueprint to empower PNP-RACU 5 to more effectively respond to the rapidly changing landscape of cybercrime.
