Albayalde ordered all district directors to ensure that incoming officers-in-charge will assume their respective offices, newly designated officers with their district directors or his deputy with the outgoing  chief of police should accompany the incoming OICs to the city mayor for a smooth turnover of office and a courtesy call. “It is the policy of the PNP to look into the career advancement of our officers, it is also important to assess and look where our officers can best perform. “This is also a matter of putting the right man on the job where he can excel and best serve the public,” added Albayalde.
