+ May 07, 2021 LIEUTENANT General Guillermo Eleazar on Friday, May 7, 2021, formally assumed office as the 26th chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
PNP Chief Debold Sinas relinquished his post during a change of command ceremony held Friday, a day before he would reach the mandatory retirement age of 56.
With his assumption, Eleazar announced the re-launching of the intensified cleanliness policy (ICP), which he first implemented during his stint in the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO).
Eleazar said the policy focuses on the maintenance of cleanliness in police stations, the implementation of reforms to stop the culture of wrongdoings among policemen, making the PNP recruitment foolproof through a QR code system to avoid “bata-bata” or “padrino” system, and intensification of community-focused peace and order operations.
