Modified PNP rank reclassification to eliminate confusion – DILG 4 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Chito ChavezThe Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has welcomed the passing of Republic Act 11200 which modifies the rank classification in Philippine National Police (PNP). He added the law will also eliminate the confusion from the public in addressing police officers who are used to calling them by their military rank equivalent. The DILG chief explained that Filipinos are still not used to the current police ranks like inspector or superintendent “so to avoid confusion, we would rather that they use military ranks”. He also dismissed speculations that the modified ranks signals the militarization of the PNP.
