Abstract

This study assessed the personnel’s work attitude, community relations, and productivity among Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) in Region VI-Western Visayas, Philippines, during Fiscal Year 2024. The 62 respondents were purposively selected CIDG personnel from Iloilo, Guimaras, Aklan, Antique, and Capiz. A validated and reliability-tested researcher-made questionnaire were analyzed using frequency count, percentage, mean, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Spearman’s rho at the 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that personnel were mostly young, male, and bachelor’s degree holders, concentrated in lower ranks such as Police Corporals and Patrolmen, and primarily based in Iloilo. Personnel’s work attitude was “Very Good,” particularly in conditioning oneself to be ready at all times, planning ahead to work efficiently, and prioritizing tasks based on urgency and risk. Community relations were assessed “To a Very Great Extent,” with emphasis on preserving public safety, maintaining collaboration and visibility, and demonstrating discipline in daily interactions. Personnel’s productivity was “Very Satisfactory.” No significant differences were found in work attitude, community relations, and productivity when grouped by age, sex, educational attainment, rank, and location. However, significant relationships were observed among the three variables: work attitude and community relations showed a strong correlation, while work attitude and productivity, as well as community relations and productivity, showed weak but statistically significant correlations. Overall, the study highlighted that CIDG in Region VI demonstrated uniform distinction in personnel’s work attitude, community relations, and productivity, underscoring the integrated role of discipline, collaboration, and efficiency in sustaining organizational effectiveness.
