The Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160), in affirming the Department of Interior and Local Government Act of 1990 (RA 6975), allows local chief executives to exercise supervision and control over the police force in their respective jurisdictions. Unfortunately, this was revoked in the case of one governor from
Region 9 and 24 mayors from different regions because of their alleged links to illegal drugs.
The list of those stripped with power over the local police are the following:
The revocation of power over the local police was through a few resolutions dated 30 October 2017 alleging that the local chief executives mentioned were engaged "... in acts inimical to national security which negate the effectiveness of the peace and order campaign of the government” and are suspected of “providing material support to criminal elements."
