Abstract In the evolving landscape of law enforcement, the transition from reactive to proactive policing depends heavily on digital integration. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Next Generation Investigation Solution (NGIS) and analyzed the statistical distribution of the Eight Focus Crimes in North Caloocan City. The research aimed to determine how well the NGIS supports the "Quad" functions of policing and to identify spatial-temporal crime patterns to inform a strategic intervention program.
The study employed a mixed-methods research design, integrating descriptive-quantitative surveys with secondary data analysis from the Crime Information Reporting and Analysis System (CIRAS). A purposive sample of 150 personnel from the Caloocan City Police Station—comprising Police Commissioned Officers (PCOs), Police Non-Commissioned Officers (PNCOs), and Non-Uniformed Personnel (NUPs)—was utilized. Data were analyzed using weighted mean, standard deviation, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to test for significant differences in perceptions across respondent groups.
Findings revealed an overwhelming institutional consensus, with NGIS effectiveness rated as "Strongly Agree" across all domains (Average Weighted Means ranging from 3.63 to 3.76). ANOVA results confirmed no significant difference in assessments among the three respondent groups, indicating a unified professional culture regarding the system’s utility. Empirical data identified Rape (37.77%) and Theft (23.61%) as the most prevalent crimes. "Crime Clock" analysis indicated that violent crimes predominantly occur in residential areas between 10:00 PM and 4:00 AM, while property crimes align with business hours. However, moderate challenges (AWM 3.16) persist, specifically hardware insufficiency and fragmented database integration.
The study concludes that while the NGIS is a globally recognized strategic asset, its full potential is throttled by infrastructural and budgetary bottlenecks. The Eight Focus Crimes exhibit identifiable "hotspots" and temporal patterns that are currently underutilized due to data silos. An "Enhanced Police Intervention" is necessary to transition the NGIS from a digital repository into a proactive engine for crime prevention. The study proposes the "Integrated NGIS Strategic Strengthening and Crime Solution Program." Key recommendations include modernizing technological infrastructure, unifying fragmented databases (CIRAS, e-Rogue, and e-Warrant), and institutionalizing the Investigation Solution Automatic Verification (ISAV) protocol. Strategically, patrol deployments should be synchronized with the identified Crime Clock to ensure targeted visibility and efficient resource allocation in North Caloocan City.
