Napolcom backs promotion of 4 senior police officials to star rank, 8 others

The National Police Commission has recommended the promotion of four senior police officials to star rank, including the Philippine National Police’s comptroller.

Chief Supt. Danilo Pelisco, the acting director for comptrollership, is now a two-star police general with the rank of director after the Napolcom vouched for his promotion to President Aquino.

The agency also recommended the promotion to one star rank, or to chief superintendent, three other senior police officials who currently hold the rank of senior superintendent.

These are: Senior Supt. Edward Carranza, acting deputy director, Special Action Force; Senior Supt. Samuel Sylim, acting deputy director, Civil Security Group; and Senior Supt.

Meanwhile, the Napolcom also recommended the promotion of eight police officials with the rank of superintendent to the higher rank of senior superintendent.
