“Once recruited, a DEO has an entry level position of Intelligence Officer 1, a permanent item with Salary Grade 11 as well as opportunity to become part of the premier organization of drug law enforcement in the country,†Cacdac said.
The recruits are expected to complete a six-month comprehensive training program at the PDEA Academy in Silang, Cavite.
