The main purpose of this study was to determine the public image and job performance of police personnel as mediated by perception of neighborhood crime using a mediation model of Baron and Kenny. The research was done through non-experimental quantitative research design utilizing descriptive-correlational technique. Mean, Pearson r, multiple regression, and Medgraph with Sobel z-test were the statistical tools used. The research also used adapted questionnaires that were modified to suit the current study. Data was generated through stratified random sampling technique with 300 adult residents in Davao City as the respondents. The research was conducted through e-survey using Google form to gather the data. Based on the findings of the study, there is no significant relationship between public image and job performance of police personnel, nor between perception of neighborhood crime and job performance, but there is a significant relationship between perception of neighborhood crime and public image of the police. It was also revealed that there is a partial mediating effect of perception of neighborhood crime on the relationship between public image and job performance of police personnel. The result implies that part of the independent variable is intervened by the mediating variable, but other parts are either direct or mediated by other variables that are not included in the model.

abstract = {The main purpose of this study was to determine the public image and job performance of police personnel as mediated by perception of neighborhood crime using a mediation model of Baron and Kenny. The research was done through non-experimental quantitative research design utilizing descriptive-correlational technique. Mean, Pearson r, multiple regression, and Medgraph with Sobel z-test were the statistical tools used. The research also used adapted questionnaires that were modified to suit the current study. Data was generated through stratified random sampling technique with 300 adult residents in Davao City as the respondents. The research was conducted through e-survey using Google form to gather the data. Based on the findings of the study, there is no significant relationship between public image and job performance of police personnel, nor between perception of neighborhood crime and job performance, but there is a significant relationship between perception of neighborhood crime and public image of the police. It was also revealed that there is a partial mediating effect of perception of neighborhood crime on the relationship between public image and job performance of police personnel. The result implies that part of the independent variable is intervened by the mediating variable, but other parts are either direct or mediated by other variables that are not included in the model.},
