The *Philippine National Police Internal Security Operations Master Plan* (ISPOMP) is a comprehensive plan that guides the Philippine National Police (PNP) in countering internal security threats, including terrorism, insurgency, and criminality. The ISPOMP was first developed in 2002 and has been revised several times since then. The current version of the ISPOMP was issued in 2017.
The ISPOMP outlines the PNP's mission, vision, and core values. It also identifies the PNP's strategic objectives and priorities, and describes the strategies and tactics that the PNP will use to achieve its objectives. The ISPOMP is based on the following principles:
1. Respect for human rights: The PNP shall respect and promote human rights and fundamental freedoms in all its actions.
2. Transparency and accountability: The PNP shall be transparent and accountable for its actions to the Filipino people and other stakeholders.
3. Community partnership: The PNP shall partner with the community to promote public safety and security.
4. Decentralization of operations: The PNP shall decentralize its operations to empower local police units and enhance their responsiveness to local needs.
5. Sustainability: The PNP shall ensure that its programs and projects are sustainable in the long term.
The ISPOMP is a key document that guides the PNP in its efforts to maintain public safety and security in the Philippines. The PNP works closely with other government agencies, the military, and the private sector to implement the ISPOMP.
