Establishment of Feedback Mechanisms to Improve Services

The Agency exercises operational

supervision of anti-drug task forces

of other law enforcement agencies

(OLEAs). Under this, the Agency

strictly implements that all anti-drug

operations nationwide be coordinated

with the Agency.

To enhance this relationship and

monitor the quality of services

provided nationwide, the Agency

conducted client survey with other

law enforcement agencies on the

coordination services. This initiative is

aimed at strengthening partnership

and cooperation and identifying areas

that need improvement.

For 2013, OLEAs rated the

coordination services provided by

the Agency as Very Satisfactory

and commended the Agency for the

following:

• Courteous and professional personnel;

• Prompt, fast and efficient service in processing of coordination

• Immediate assistance of PDEA in the conduct of anti-drug

operations by OLEAs;

• PDEA’s assistance to OLEAs in filing of cases;

• Organized system of coordination.

The Agency will further explore other

avenues to provide better services to

every Juan and Juana.

Recognizing Agency’s Partners

The Agency would not be able to

successfully attain all its anti-drug

accomplishments for the year if not for

the aid of other government sectors

and law enforcement agencies that

constantly give support and back-up

to PDEA. Thus, to show appreciation

for their assistance, the Agency

acknowledges the following other law
