Results showed that Dapitan Police Station frequently practices proper planning while Dipolog and Provincial Stations very frequently practice prior to collecting information.

A significant relationship was revealed in planning the collection effort, processing of information and dissemination of information in crime detection. Resolution of crime was significantly related to collection and processing of information but not to planning and dissemination.
