This study aimed to develop the best-fit model of police public trust in the context of community leaders in Region XI. This study used a quantitative research design, employing Pearson Correlation, Reliability Analysis using SPSS and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to evaluate the best-fit model for police public trust. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from 435 community leaders in Region XI who participated in the study. Findings revealed that peaceful behavior and fear of crime obtained a high level, while contextual victimization perception posted a moderate level and police public trust acquired a high level. Results also revealed significant relationships between peaceful behavior and public trust in the police—still, fear of crime, contextual victimization perception and police public trust were discovered to be not associated. Further, Model 3 best fits the public trust of the police in the Davao Region. The regression analysis indicates a substantial and increasing positive relationship between exogenous and peaceful behavior. At the same time, fear of crime can lead to less peaceful behavior and the influence of victimization perception decreases over time. Also, the covariance analysis shows a strong positive relationship between fear of crime and victimization perception, a weaker positive link between peaceful behavior and victimization perception and a nearly significant but weak connection between peaceful behavior and fear of crime.
