(UPDATE) LT. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr., the newly installed Philippine National Police (PNP) chief, plans to focus on two things — managing resources and police operations — promising to make fair assignments and reassignments within the police force., This news data comes from:http://ryad-xk-knf-dyj.yamato-syokunin.com

Nartatez on Wednesday said his administration will focus on proper management of manpower, logistics and finances to ensure that each police officer gets taken care of from recruitment all the way to retirement.

“From the moment that we recruited them up to the moment that they retire. Separation from service, and in between, there is continuous training, taking a look at the physical and mental wellness, their morale and welfare including placements,” Nartatez said.

He laid out his plans after he was asked to comment on the controversial reshuffle that led to the sudden relief of Gen. Nicolas Torre III as PNP chief.

Torre reassigned senior officials to third-level positions without the approval of the Department of the Interior and Local Government and the National Police Commission (Napolcom).

Nartatez said PNP reassignments go through a process which was not followed by Torre, prompting Napolcom to nullify his appointments.

Nartatez vows to be fair in making reassignments

Nartatez said the Senior Officers’ Placement and Promotion Board (SOPPB) oversees position assignments for senior police officials. Further down, the SOPPB has subgroups like alpha, bravo and en banc composed of the PNP command group.

The process goes down to the regional level and the national support units, he said.
