WHEREAS, under Section 16 of the Rules and Regulations Implementing the DILG Act of 1990, "administrative control" has been defined to include the review, approval, reversal or modification of plans and programs relating to personnel, organization, financial requirements, logistics, discipline, benefits, training and education, and operations;

NOW, THEREFORE, this Commission, in the exercise of its constitutional and statutory functions over the PNP, hereby orders and directs the following guidelines to be followed in the promotion, assignment and reassignment of PNP officers and non-officers, to wit:
1. The promotion of a PNP officer to the rank of Police Inspector and up shall be coursed through the National Police Commission for review and confirmation;
2. The assignment of a police officer to the position of Chief of Police and up shall likewise be coursed through the National Police Commission for review and confirmation;
