"This textbook provided appropriate and required subjects regarding law enforcement organization and administration with inter-agency approach which are entirely congruent to the letters of the Commission on Higher Education Memorandum Order (CMO) No. 05, Series of 2018 known as the Policies, Standards and Guidelines for the Bachelor of Science in Criminology Program.

The textbook enriched the topics on law enforcement organization and administration by providing a comprehensive background about progression of law enforcement and policing in the country including how the primary law enforcement agency in the country transformed into a professional police force. Further, this script included topics about selected specialized law enforcement agencies in the country and international bodies, as well as their appropriate collaborative duties and functions congruent to the mandates of the Philippine National Police thereby establishing an inter-agency approach in law enforcement and policing.

Most importantly, this script is as outcome-based education (OBE) compliant on count of the fact that it contained Expected learning Outcomes and Practical Exercises that would measure progression of learning by its recipients which are mostly criminology students.

Finally, the authors guarantee the reliability and validity of this textbook due to its well-founded contents support by hundreds of print and online list of reference sources." --Preface
