The Joint Security Plan has four phases: proactive, reactive and post incident phase. Every member agencies and units have their respective specific tasks to perform in every phase. Likewise, a Fact Finding Committee under Phase 3 or post incident phase was also created that will conduct investigation on a particular incident with regards to International Humanitarian Law (IHL) violations.

This plan will form part of the Municipal Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (MTF-ELCAC) once it will be created. Likewise, this kind of security program will also be replicated in other municipalities under 88IB area of operation.
