Mandaluyong has new police chief

Mandaluyong City has a new police chief.

Superintendent Ericson Velasquez assumed his post yesterday as the new police chief during simple turnover rites at the Mandaluyong City police headquarters.

Mayor Benjamin Abalos Jr. had picked Velasquez from a list of five candidates submitted to him by Metro Manila police chief Deputy Director General Reynaldo Velasco.

Velasquez will replace Senior Superintendent Sukarno Ikbala, who will leave this week to head the country’s police contingent bound for a peacekeeping mission in Iraq.

"I picked Velasquez because of his very impressive record in the fight against illegal drugs and vices," Abalos told The STAR. "He is also a lawyer like me so I strongly believe we will have no problem in implementing the law." – Non Alquitran
