Summary: The study assessed the effectiveness of police functions and services in Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental, CY 2015. This study used a descriptive-correlational method of research utilizing survey were the PNP Officers currently serving the City of Guihulngan, the BPSO/Barangay (officials and BPSO), and some residents of the barangays with a total of 310 respondents. This study was conducted in Guihulngan City most particularly the selected coastal barangays. The survey questionnaire was the main tool used in the study. The results shows that most of the respondents belong to the age bracket of 36-40 years old, most were male, are married and college level graduates. All of the respondents cited the level of effectiveness and the indicators of police functions and services as effective. most problems encountered were public apathy (negative impression of the public to the police), undermanned police personnel, lack of mobility in the implementation of police functions and services and poor performance performance of police functions and services. Age, civil status, highest educational attainment and the type of respondents were significantly related with the perceived level of effectiveness. Gender has no significant relationship with the perceived level of effectiveness. It is concluded that the safety and security in a community is not only a concern of the police. Social control crimes are best attained if the police improve the awareness of effective and fast services to the barangay officials and residents.
