New Cordillera PNP chief vows more police visibility,conviction rate


LA TRINIDAD, Benguet – The new Cordillera police director assured more police visibility and convictions for crime cases in the region.

Chief Supt. Ulysses J. Abellera said there will no longer be cops ranked Police Officer 1 in police stations  as  they will be deployed  for patrol to ensure police visibility.

Only key officers and non-uniformed personnel (NUP) will be left to man stations while the police officers will be equitably distributed to patrol their beats in order to deter commission of crimes especially in populated areas, he said.

He also vowed to increase conviction rate of crime cases in the region. 

“As a lawyer, one of my aims is to increase the convictions rates of crime cases filed so as to improve and demand the appropriate justice for these crimes,” Abellera said.

There should be no cases filed that will be dismissed because of technicalities if the policemen have done their investigation right and that the crime scenes have been processed appropriately, he said. .

Abellera took over the post of Chief Supt. Isagani Nerez who was assigned in Eastern Mindanao as Directorate for Integrated Police Operations.

Prior to his new post, Abellera served at PNP Legal Service in Camp Crame. He was also the deputy regional director for administration of PRO-COR before  his  assignment  in the  national police headquarters.

The turn over of command was presided by James Andres Melad, Director for Integrated Police Operations Northern Luzon. – Redgie Melvic Cawis
