FUNDAMENTALS OF CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION
Criminality was occured with the difficulty to reveal the identity and location of the
perpetrator and also somehow the victim. It took weeks or months,unfortunate years to have
identification of identity and whereabouts the victim and perpetrator.
In the onset of the technology ,Criminal Investigation become more efficient that
provide an aid to identify the identity of a person involve and whereabouts in shortest possible
time.Forensic matters ,crime laboratory is a wide spread use for the detection ,evaluation and
analysis of any physical evidence,liquid substances ,develop latent fingerprint ,blood projectile
and firearms and many more .In Criminal Investigation ,various discipline were employed to
provide certain result for each and every crime happened .
Criminal investigation it is the collection of facts in order to accomplish the three fold aims.
(Criminal Investigation Manual ,2011 revised ,Philippine National Police Manual ,2010)
Criminal Investigation is the inquiry due to complaint file,to gather fact ,by examining
tracking and searching ,step by step process diligently and thorough observation,the fatc of
the commission of the crime , the identity of the actor and the circumstances attendant
thereto,by prudent scrunity of all available evidence to the end that the violators of law be
brought to the bar of Justice and the innocent be free therefrom ( Pena and Sadili)
Criminal Investigation is an art which deals with the identity and location of the offender
and prove his guilt in a criminal proceeding.(Dr. Pedro S. Solis)
Criminal Investigation is the systematic method of inquiry that is more a science than an art
.
For criminal investigations to be successful ,the investigator must understand the general
rules of evidence .
As investigator adopt a more scientific approach to criminal investigations and rely more on
tangible evidence than on the confessions of suspects or eyewitness accounts ,the
relationship between the investigator and evidence examiners becomes crucial to the
success of the investigation.
It is important that the first officer on the scene properly protects the evidence .
The entire investigation hinges on the initial law enforcement responder being able to
properly identify ,isolate and secure the scene.
The purpose of securing the scene is to restrict access and prevent evidence destruction
There are many factors that dictate how a crime scene should be protected
however ,nationally recognized standards for crime scene protection suggest the following
three layer or tier perimeter .
An outer perimeter (established as a boarder larger than the actual scene to keep
onlookers and nonessentials personnel safe and away from the scene).
An inner permimeter (allows for a command post and comfort area just outside of the
scene).
The core (actual scene).
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATOR
A Criminal Investigator is a type of law enforcement professional who attempts to solve felony
crimes ,identify and detain suspects in hopes of preventing future criminal activity. A Criminal
Investigator ,to accomplish these various responsibilities ,may work alone or as part of an
investigative team uncover facts about a particular case.
CHARACTERISTICS OF INVESTIGATOR
DEVELOPMENT OF CHARACTERISTICS
ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS
1. Suspicion -
means not taking nothing for granted
Be constantly wary of the things that appear too obvious
2. Curiosity
Means a desire to investigate and learn facts or truth about people ,places or objects
3. Keen observation
The ability to take accurate notice of that notice which is present to their senses.
4. Ability to summarize
Investigator and associate observations ,and evaluate them of violations of the law .
B. Prejudice means an opinion or learning advers to anything without just grounds or before
sufficient knowledge
Investigator should not attempt to exhibit expertise in all fields of law enforcement .
A rapid decision by seasoned investigator can be based on experience and training ,while
hasty conclusion is often based on a superficial investigation or preconceived idea .
1. Perseverance
2. Endurance
3. Incorruptibility ,honest and integrity
4. Intelligence and wisdom of Solomon
5. Knowledge of psychology and other natural sciences
6. Acting ability
7. Mastery in oral and written communication
8. Keen power of observation and description
9. Courage
10. Working knowledge of Criminal law,evidence ,criminal procedure and special laws
11. Sense of Justice and fair play
12. Ability to "read between lines"
13. Working knowledge of martial arts and firearms proficiency
The investigating officer should seek various method of interrogatory questioning to acquire
complete details in connection to crime incident such as 5W's and 1H in order to determine
whether or not the suspect or has committed the crime.
This inquiry focus on the complete and correct details of name of those involved in the
incident such as the complaint ,victim witnesses and anyone present in the area of incident.
2. WHAT?
These inquiries are directly intended to the crime being committed . In law enforcement work
particularly reports sometimes pointed crime or offence under Revise Penal Code,Special laws,
Presidential Decrees or ordinances and executive order.
3. WHERE?
These inquiries cover the geographical location of the crime committed or crime scene ,the
body of the victim (crime against person),property( crimes against property) and the evidence .
4.WHEN?
These inquiries cover the time and date in the commission of the crime ,discovery of stolen
property and the apprehension of the suspect .
5. WHY?
These inquiries give the idea about the cause and originof the crime that independent or
dependent on the will of the perpetrator, thought exist that motivate for the commission of the
crime psychological ,emotional or mental factor.
6.HOW?
These inquiries refer to the means ,method or manner of the commission of the crime modus
operandi also included as pattern for the accomplishing the commission of the crime.
1. Information
Data gathered by an investigator form other person's including the victim himself and from.
1. Public records
2. Private records
3. Modus Operandi file.
2. Interrogation/Interview
Interogation- this is the process of questioning witnesses and suspect to obtain further
information.
Purposes of Interrogation
INTEROGATION TECHNIQUES
A.Emotional appeal
Place the subject in the proper frame of mind .the investigator should provide emotional
stimuli that will prompt the subject to unburden himself by confiding. Analyze the subjects
person ality and decide what motivation would prompt him to tell the truth ,and then provide
those motives through appropriate emotional appeals .
B. Sympathetic appeal
The suspect may feel the need for sympathy or friendship when he is apparently in
trouble .Gestures of friendship may win his cooperation.
C. Kindness
The simplest technique is to assure that the suspect will confess if he is treated in a kind and
friendly manner
D. Extenuation
The investigator indicates he does not consider his subjects indiscretion a grave offense.
The interrrogator makes clear his belief that the subjects is obviously not the sort of person
who usually gets mixed up in a crime like this. The interrrogator could tell from the start that he
was not dealing with a fellow who is criminal by nature and choice.
-Mutt ,the relentless investigator ,who is not going to waste any time because he knows that
the subject is guilty
This is applicable when there is more than one suspect . The suspects are separated and one
is informed that the other has talked.
The investigator may pretend that the certain physical evidence has found by laboratory
H. Jolting
May be applied to calm and nervous subjects by constantly observing the suspects ,the
investigator chooses a propitious moment to shout a pertinent question and appear as through
he is beside himself with rage .the subject may be unnerved to be extent of confessing.
Is the questioning of law enforcement officer on a person under custody and otherwise
deprived of his freedom or liberty. This is the stage in investigation where there is strict
observance of the Miranda doctrine.
Miranda Doctrine
This case which is Miranda vs. Arizona ,is a US Supreme Court Jurisprudence which laid
down the constitutional rights of the accused during custodial investigation. It was incorporated
in our 1973 Constitution and later in the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines.
3. Instrumentation
It is application of instrument and method and method of physical science to the detection of
crime. The sum total of all sciences in crime-detection known as Crominalistics.
CHAPTER II
Intelligence is defined as the product resulting from the collection, evaluation, analysis
integration, and the interpretation of all available information
Intelligence is processed information, Identifies the problem that the Intelligence process is
going to examine.
Information is everywhere whether it's daily news online blogs or conversations between
friends - Intelligence however, often refers to the information not freely available, or within the
public domain
Intelligence as we see it, is typically privileged information intended for a particular audience
The art of intelligence to collect this privileged and/or protected information, and use it to our
benefit.
I.Functions of Intelligence
Today all countries have their service. They may be different in their organization , efficiency
and method but they all have the basic function.
1. The collection or procurement of information
2. The evaluation of the information then become intelligence
3. The dissemination of Intelligence- to those who need it.
Principles are the basic guides on the decisions and actions , a fix or broad statement from
which other are derived .Provide direction towards specific result.
1. Criteria
a. Universal of application
b. It must be broad
It should be truly a general rule . It should form the basis for formulation of corollary and
subsidiary guides.
c. It must be collaborative
a. There exist an essential unity between knowledge and action ,the knowledge enhances the
effectiveness of action and minuses the chances error.
b. The prudent searching of fact base on the data gathered could able to create significant
pattern for determination and protection and threat elimination
c. The knowledge requirements for decision making are complex and beyond the capacities of
anyone necessary to meet their requirements.
3. Intelligence Principle
a. Principle of Objectivity
In intelligence the well organized and guided succeed . It is the basic intelligence concept
that there should be unity of knowledge and action.
b. Principle of Interdependence
Intelligence is artificially subdivided into components elements to ensure complete coverage,
eliminate duplication and to reduce the overall task or manageable task
c. Principle of Continuity
It necessary that coverage be continues so that shape of what happens today could be studied
in the light of what happened before, which in return would enable us to predict the shape of
the future
d. Principle of Communication
Intelligence adequate to their needs must be communicated all the decision the manner that
they will permits it's effective used
e. Principle of Usefulness
Intelligence is useless if it remains in the mind or of it's collectors or it's producer. The story
must be told and it must be told well. The story must be convincing and to be convincing, it
must not only be plausiblenof facts but it's significant
Intelligence must have the ability to change or be changed according to circumstances, hence,
alternatives must be drawn
g. Principle of Selection
Intelligence should be essential and pertinent to the purpose at hand. Intelligence involves
plowing throughmaze of information, the considerable aod inumerable numbers of means or of
picking the most promising multitute to leads. The requirement of decision making covers very
nearly the entire span of human knowledge. Unless there is selection of only the most essential
and pertinent, intelligence will go off in all the directions in one monumental waste of effort
h. Principle of Timeliness
Intelligence must be communicated to the decision maker at the appropriate time to permit its
most effective used
i. Principle of Security
Security is achieved by the measures which intelligence takes to protect and preserve the
integrity of it's activities. The Code of Secrecy (PNP doctrine)
j. Intelligence as a cycle
All intelligence activities generally follow a three phase cycle oriented to the commander's
mission. This cycle is continuous and all steps are carried out at the same time
1. MILITARY
Offensive and defensive tactics, war plan, strategic and tactical principle, organization armed
forces, commandment structure, personnel, material, morale arm depot.
2. GENERAL
3. DIPLOMATIC
4. POLITICAL
5. ECONOMIC
Signals, telephone, wireless trucks, bridges, highways, building signal command center
7. SOCIAL
National structure, school building, government building and offices, General Census, Mental
factors, Behavioral Influence
V . Categories of Intelligence
1. Strategic Intelligence
2. Operational Intelligence
An intelligence product which supports national and regional managers of line areas in
planning activity and deploying resources to achieve operational objectives.
3. Tactical Intelligence
An intelligence product which supports line areas and other operational areas in taking
casespecific action to achieve complaince or enforcement objectives.
1. National Intelligence
The total product of intelligence developed by all goverment agencies the cover broad
aspect of National Security and National Policy.
2. Department Intelligence
3. Military Intelligence
This is used the preparation of military police,plans and programs, it includes strategic
and combat intelligence.
Things to consider:
P - People
W - Weather
E - Enemy
T - Terrain
4. Counter Intelligence
Covers the activity destroying the effectiveness of hostile foreign activities to the
production of information againts espionage and sabotage.
Security Intelligence
Means the total sum of efforts to counsel the national policies , diplomatic decisions,
military data and any information that SECRET in nature affecting national security of the nation
from unathorized individual. Denial effort to protect the information to access by unathorized
person.
Counter Intelligence
The organized effort to protect specific data that might be of value to the opponents ow
intelligence organizations.
Counter Espionage
Negative Intelligence becomes a dynamic amd active effort. Its purpose is to investigate
actual or theoretical violation of espionage laws, to enforcw those laws and apprehend
violations.Its job is to catch the spies.
1. Military Security
A. Secrecy descipline
Something to do with application of both military and civilian security measures for ci control at
point of every departure , borders or boundaries .
3.Civil Security
I compasses active and passive ci measures affecting the non-military nationals permanently or
temporarily residing in an area under military jurisdiction.
4. Censorship
The control and examination of the civil , national , armed forces , field press and POW
5.Special Operations
A. Functional Classification
It refers to the knowledge essential to ensure the protection of lives and properties
1. Strategic Intelligence
The intelligence information which is primarily long range in nature with title practical
immediate operation value
2. Line Intelligence
It is immediate in nature and necessary for more effective police planning and operation
3. National Intelligence
4. Counter Intelligence
It is phase of intel covering the activity devoted in destroying the effectiveness and hostile
foreign activities and protection of information against espionage , subversion and sabotage .
5. Undercover Work
It is an investigative process in which disguise and pretext, cover and deception is utilized.
CHAPTER III
Information- are raw data or unevaluated materials of every description derived from observation,
communication, report, rumours, imagination, and other sources from which intelligence is produced.
End Products- results later evaluation, analysis, interpretation and integration of raw materials.
Sources- refer to where/whom/which the information was obtained either be private, public, agent of
the government.
Informant reports
Investigation reports
Human
Field
Electronic
Scientific
Intelligence Cycle- an organized process by which information is gathered, assessed and distributed in
order to fulfil the goals of the intelligence function.
Mission- is the focal point of the intelligence operation; a particular task given to a person or group to
carry out, or one which should accomplish.
The Intel Staff Officer or Unit Commander determines the required important information relevant to
mission. Then these requirements will be distributed to the different collection agencies by directing or
by request.
Executive
Contributory
Operational
Collateral
Basic
Current
Estimative Intelligence
EEI are items of intelligence or information of the characteristics of the area of operation and the
enemy, which the commander feels needed before he can reasonably arrive at a decision.
Establishment of Priorities
Are necessary to decide which items or information are more important- a system of priority is needed,
critical importance and lesser importance; EEI highest priority intelligence requirements essential to
planning.
The collecting agency determines what specific information is to be collected by whom and from whom.
After the collecting activity is carried out, the collected information is then submitted for processing.
General ideas in collecting of information
Ask the right questions in order to determine the seriousness of the threat.
Collecting Agency- any person, unit or activity that collects and/or processed information by research,
surveillance, or the exploitation of the source of information.

Information Collection Planning- the continuous process which ultimately coordinates and integrates
the effort of all collecting Agencies/Units.
Reasons to adapt:
Personality
Organization
Resources/equipment
Activity
Phase in which information becomes intelligence. The processing phase of intelligence activity is the
most expensive and time consuming activity. Data processing involves the following:
Recording
Evaluation
Completely reliable
Usually reliable
Fairly Reliability
Unreliability
ACCURACY OF INFORMATION
Probably true
Possibly true
Doubtfully true
Improbable
SOURCES OF INFORMATION
Interpretation- is the process of establishing the meaning and significance of information. It involves the
following:
Analysis
Integration
Deduction
Secondly, a potential receipt should be “cleared” by responsible authority as being eligible to receive the
intelligence data.
Confidential sources are the lifeline of the intelligence effort. They must be protected at
almost any price. Therefore, it is apparent that the “need to know” and proper
clearance of the receiver are surpassed by the consideration, “will the use of data
destroy or endanger the source of information?”
Means of Dissemination
Method of Dissemination
Intelligence document
Personal contact
Criteria of dissemination
Timeliness
Propriety
Users of Intelligence
Processor
INTELLIGENCE OPERATION
-is the result of intelligence planning. Planning is always ahead of operation, although an operation can
be made without a plan. It is usually due to sudden and inevitable situations but definitely, this is poor
intelligence management.
