Rosario Public Safety Study Banner Over Typical Rural Landscape – Brain Boost Cooler Client Feature

Introduction: Project Background and Client Type

We recently had the opportunity to support a team of student-researchers from the Philippine National Police (PNP) undergoing the Public Safety Officers Advanced Course (PSOAC). Their research study best described as “Public Safety and Security in Rosario, Batangas: Sustainability Plan for Environmental Protection,” aimed to explore pressing environmental degradation issues in agricultural production areas and their implications on public safety, disaster resilience, and municipal development.

The client group approached us while preparing a multi-dimensional area study using the BEST-LEAPS/HE framework. The group sought local planning documents, land use maps, and municipal-level hazard data relevant to Rosario, Batangas. Our support enabled them to structure their analysis, contextualize the public safety threats, and formulate action-oriented recommendations.

Highlights and Considerations

The study emphasized real-world application by assessing Rosario’s agricultural degradation, flood vulnerability, and environmental governance gaps. The researchers proposed a four-part strategy for enhancing environmental law enforcement, disaster preparedness, grassroots education, and multi-sectoral collaboration.

Working with active-duty PNP officers as student-researchers presented a unique opportunity to contribute to public safety innovation directly linked to community engagement and operational planning.
