NBI reclassifies 76 agents to higher salary grades
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) announced on Monday the reclassification of 76 agents to improve operational effectiveness.
Director Jaime Santiago stated that qualified Special Investigators will be reclassified as Investigation Agents, equivalent to IA positions, with higher salaries effective from July 1, 2024.
This reclassification allows the agents to receive back wages and enhances their opportunities for advancement from Salary Grade 18 to 22.
Santiago emphasized that the change would boost morale and improve performance in crime-solving while raising competency standards in law enforcement.
Under the NBI Modernization Law, Special Investigators' positions dissolve upon retirement, prompting this reclassification initiative to ensure continuity of service with pride and honor.
The NBI chief thanked the Civil Service Commission (CSC) and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) for their support in implementing this change.
