Public Safety Commissioner Robert A. Guerrero has promoted over 90 police personnel on Saipan, including nine police captains from the rank of lieutenant. <\/p>\n
Guerrero disclosed Friday that Gov. Ralph DLG Torres supported the promotions with corresponding salary increases.<\/p>\n
A few years ago, several police officers were promoted but their salaries were not adjusted due to the lack of a budget.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout 90 percent got promoted,\u201d the commissioner said, adding that those promoted were for the ranks of police officer 2 and as high as captains. <\/p>\n
He cited that police sergeants Jason Tarkong, Jeffrey Olopai, and Simon Manacop, who were all promoted last year, were among the nine promoted to the rank of lieutenant.<\/p>\n
Promoted to captain were Anthony Macaranas, Bernard Santos, Jerry Ayuyu, Ben Sablan, Joe Saures, Tom Blas, Paul Ogumoro, Joaquin Camacho, and Kevin Aldan. <\/p>\n
Assistant chief Aniceto Ogumoro is the chief of police operations.<\/p>\n
DPS Saipan currently has 150 police officers.<\/p>\n
