Law: Presidential Decree No. 1925

Decision Date: May 26, 1984

Context and Justification for the Amendment

The Integrated National Police (INP) comprises over 55,000 officers, non-officers, and civilian technical personnel.
Other countries' police organizations provide for ranks higher than Brigadier General.
Given the INP's size and crucial role in law enforcement and maintaining peace and order, having officers with ranks beyond Brigadier General is deemed necessary.

Appointment Authority and Procedure

Officers holding ranks from Police Brigadier General to Police Major General and Fire Brigadier General to Fire Major General are appointed by the President of the Philippines.
Such appointments occur upon recommendation by the Director General of the Integrated National Police.
The recommendation must be routed through the Minister of National Defense.

Immediate Effectivity

The decree takes effect immediately upon promulgation.

Legal and Organizational Impact

The decree expands the rank structure within the INP, allowing for greater hierarchical differentiation at higher levels.
It institutionalizes a formal appointment process involving the President, Director General, and Minister of National Defense.
Strengthens the command framework to address the considerable size and responsibilities of the INP.
