“Siya ay miyembro ng Philippine Military Academy ‘Sambisig’ Class of 1991 at naging pinuno ng Directorate for Intelligence ng PNP noong Agosto 2022, Palawan Police Provincial Office chief mula 2014 hanggang 2016, at nagsilbi bilang Regional Director ng Police Regional Office 10 ng Northern Mindanao,” he added.
Abalos also assured Acorda that the Department of the Interior and Local Government would continue supporting the police force, especially in enforcing its mandate and protecting the Filipino people. “Sa bagong yugtong ito ng PNP sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni Acorda, patuloy ang suportang ibibigay ng DILG sa pagpapatupad ng napapanahong pagbabago sa kapulisan habang masigasig nitong tinutupad ang mandato nito na pangalagaan at proteksyunan ang ating mga kababayan,” he said.
“Inaasahan ko rin po ang suporta, kooperasyon at pakikiisa ng buong puwersa ng PNP sa bagong liderato upang maayos niyang magampanan ang kanyang tungkulin at mandato bilang pinuno ng kapulisan,” he added.During the turn-over ceremony on Monday morning, Marcos appealed to police officers to help the new PNP chief, while also vowing to extend the administration’s full support for its programs.
The Chief Executive also believes Acorda can calm the situation within the PNP, which was recently beleaguered due to accusations that high-ranking officials were trying to cover-up an anti-drug operation where a decorated police officer was arrested.
