Lawyer Vitaliano Aguirre, vice chairman and executive officer of the NAPOLCOM, said the 18 policemen were also demoted, 10 were suspended and three were reprimanded for various violations of administrative regulations of the PNP.
He said those penalized were part of the 177 summary dismissal cases.
The en banc was the first meeting presided by Aguirre since he was appointed by President Duterte.
Present during the meeting were Philippine National Police chief Gen. Debold Sinas, Napolcom Commissioners Felizardo M. Serapio, Jr., Zenonida F. Brosas and Job M. Mangente.
Aguirre said they also discussed during the meeting proposed amendments to the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act 9708. The law requires for the replacement of the National Bureau of Investigation clearance for promotions of the police instead of police clearance.
