As of February 2019, a new ranking classification for the Philippine National Police was adopted, eliminating the confusion of old ranks.[1][2] The enabling law for the ranking is Republic Act 11200 which was signed by President Rodrigo Duterte, amending Section 28 of the Department of the Interior and Local Government Act of 1990 that refers to the ranking classification of the Philippine National Police.[3]
However, the usage of this classification internally by the PNP was put on hold in March 2019 during the creation of rules and regulations (IRR) of the rank classification, which determined how each rank would be officially abbreviated.[4] The new rank abbreviations and the IRR of the new rank system officially took effect on March 25, 2019.[5][6] These new ranks are equivalent to those of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

Informal ranksedit
Prior to the adoption of the 2019 classification, the police informally used military ranks to address to each other; such as tiniente or lieutenant for officers who had recently graduated from the Philippine National Police Academy, while chief superintendents up to the director general were colloquially referred to as "generals".[9]
Pre-INP local police ranksedit
Prior to the reorganization of ranks in the police force in the Marcos era, local police forces (like then-Manila Police Department) uses American style police department ranks like Lieutenant, Captain, and Major. The police chief and deputy chief uses the American insignia used by colonels and lieutenant colonels respectively.
Chief of the Philippine National Police, top position in the Philippine National Police, sometimes referred to as the "director general" after the prerequisite rank of the position.
