2.6. A commanding officer in the upper levels of the hierarchy who is not present at the protest site must be aware of the circumstances of the protest, regularly keep track of any requirements relating to personnel and equipment, and will be held accountable for the actions of the officer under his command issuing commands at the protest site. 2.7. If a junior official wishes to raise an issue or submit any new information relating to the protest (e.g., difficulties, the need for more personnel and equipment), he must communicate the issue to the officer immediately superior in rank to him by the hierarchy of seniority. This would go a long way toward ensuring that the chain of command remains unbroken. 2.8. Currently, according to Police Order No. A19, the police maintain a watch report, information book, and officer’s report. In addition, it is also necessary to maintain detailed assessment reports in writing, including but not limited to the actual measures deployed out at the protest, their impact, the number of personnel and equipment, any specific incident of note that occurred, the aftermath, and any recommendations to improve crowd control at protests in the future. 2.9. The assessment report of a protest is recommended to be as follows: 2.9.1. The commanding officer at the site of the protest should complete a comprehensive After-Action Report (AAR), irrespective of whether a protest is peaceful or unlawful, with no exception. 2.9.2. Further, any officer who opened fire, for whatever reason, regardless of its effect, should submit a report including but not limited to the rounds fired, the target, the reason for firing, the command issued to fire, if any, the identity of the officer who issued the command, and the identity of the senior most officer in command at the protest site. 2.9.3. All written reports should be completed by the commanding officer on site as soon as possible after the event and handed over to his immediate superior, and through the hierarchy to the IGP or, at the very least, the Senior DIG of the relevant Province in order to ensure all high-ranking police officers have a detailed report of the occurrence. 27
