In his first week in office, new top cop Police General Guillermo Eleazar ordered a revamp of the key positions in the Philippine National Police (PNP).
Upon Eleazar’s assumption of his post as PNP chief, Police Lieutenant General Joselito Vera Cruz was promoted to Deputy Chief for Administration, the second highest position in the PNP. Vera Cruz was the Deputy Chief for Operations prior to this.
Police Lieutenant General Israel Ephraim Dickson is the new Deputy Chief for Operations.
Vera Cruz and Dickson belong to the Philippine Military Academy Hinirang Class of 1987, along with Eleazar and retired PNP chief Debold Sinas.
