BAGUIO
CITY – The Police Regional Office Cordillera recently transmitted to Mayor
Mauricio G. Domogan list of qualified senior police commissioned officers who
are the aspirants for the position of city police director about to be vacated after
lapse of 2-year tour of duty of the incumbent chief.
Included in the transmitted to
the local government by regional police director Chief Supt. Rolando Z. Nana were
Ifugao police head Senior Supt. David K. Peredo, Senior Supt. Agustin Juan
Telllo, Senior Supt. Giovani C. Maines, regional police intelligence chief
Senior Supt. Elmer Ragay and former city police director Senior supt. George
Daskeo.
The mayo is given a
maximum of 10 days to select from the list who will succeed outgoing city
police director Senior Supt. Ramil L. Saculles.
Domogan said selection
of the local chief of police is quite unique in the city for the past several
years because a local screening committee composed of city department heads and
private sector representatives will be tasked to screen the applicants and
subsequently vote on who will be their choice to become the next chief of
police.
Among criteria set by the local screening
committee in the selection process include availability, performance, programs,
results of interview and other aspects of being a well-rounded police officer.
Under the screening
process, all the applicants will be required to undergo interview of the panel
members and present their programs on how to sustain the anti-criminality,
anti-terrorism and peacekeeping efforts that will make the city a better place
to study, work, live and do business.
Domogan said one of the
challenges that will confront the incoming local police chief is how to sustain
the recent achievement of BCPO that made Baguio city the 6th Safest Cities in
Southeast Asia based on the perception of visitors through an online database.
Under Republic Act 6975
or law that created the Department of the Interior and Local government and the
Philippine National Police, the PNP is mandated to submit to the local chief
executive concerned a shortlist of qualified senior police commissioned
officers duly screened by the Senior Officers Placement Board from where the
local police chief will be chosen from.
The tour of duty of an
officer-in-charge who will be assigned to head a local police force will only
be 30 days to give a chance for the concerned local chief executive to select
the chief of police of his or her police office.
Daskeo
served as BCPO officer-in-charge from January 2016 to June 2016 before being
selected as the permanent city director in June 2016 before he was relived from
his post and reassigned to the directorate for plans in Camp Crame in October
2016. -- Dexter A. See
