Abstract
This study aimed to determine the level of public safety implementation and resident satisfaction as key predictors of peace and order within Tacurong City. To achieve this, a quantitative research design utilizing a descriptive survey approach was employed, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of the variables under consideration. For the data collection process, a random sampling method was utilized to select respondents from each barangay. Specifically, ten (10) residents were randomly chosen from every barangay, resulting in a total of 200 respondents participating in the study. Upon analyzing the data, the study yielded noteworthy findings. Regarding public safety implementation, the results indicated an exceptionally high level of implementation concerning procedural justice. Additionally, a high level of implementation with respect to community involvement, safety, performance, and contact and satisfaction was observed. Moreover, the level of resident satisfaction was high in terms of services provided by law enforcers, problems in the delivery of law enforcement services, and suggestions for improving the delivery of these services.
