Regulating police promotions

[NewsWhore]

President Leonel Fernandez announced Decree 63-07 last night. The decree overrides all other provisions on police promotions of equal or inferior hierarchy. Five decrees are thus affected. The latest decree establishes the rules and legal procedures relating to police promotions. It states, according to El Caribe, that promotions should be automatic and be carried out, for the most part on Independence Day, 27 February, and, under special circumstances under presidential prerogative, on 16 August, Restoration Day. The new measure establishes a Superior Police Council and a Promotions Board that will work continuously on the promotions list.
