Who We Are
The Community Investigative Support (CIS) was founded by PNP CIDG Director, Police Major General Samuel D. Pagdilao Jr. (Ret) on August 18, 2011. The objective of the organization is to enlist, organize, train, and engage law abiding citizens from different sectors of society to become active participants in preventing and suppressing crimes, promoting public order and protecting the community against disasters and calamities.
Local chapters were organized in municipalities, cities, provinces and regions throughout the Philippines and in other countries like Japan, Saudi Arabia, Spain, and Italy. Inspired and guided by the Bayanihan spirit, volunteers selflessly offer their services, talents and resources to help in nation building, promoting peace, order and public safety in their respective communities. CIS became a distinct juridical entity/non-government organization (NGO) after it was officially registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 23, 2012.
