Meanwhile he was also assigned at Police Regional Office 8 as the deputy chief of the Regional Intelligence Division and Concurrent Chief of the regional operations unit, regional anti-illegal drug taskforce and designated chief of police of Calbayog City police station.

He was also designated at the National Police Training Institute as the regional training center director of the regional training center Region 9 Zamboanga city and became the chief of operations management division of the head office of the national police training institute and finally Regional Training Director of Region 7.

In his message, Governor Oaminal shared how the PNP of Misamis Occidental had reversed its image through a successful law enforcement in dismantling the drug organization in the province.

“Aside from Philippine National Police, it is used to be Police ni Parojinog because at that time, when there were crimes committed, people would not go to the police station. They lack the confidence, they better go to Lawis and report the incident there. But with that successful law enforcement that happened, on July 31, 2017, the respect, the trust, and the confidence of the Misamisnon to the Philippine National Police were restored,” he said.

The governor vowed to continue to give his full support including financial support to the PNP.

“Kung pundo lang man ang hisgutan, dili nana problema sa (If funding is the issue, it is not a problem that should concern the) Misamis Occidental police force including the 17 municipalities and cities and all the supporting units of PPO,” Oaminal said.
