Tuadles will be temporarily assigned at Noppo headquarters in Bacolod City.
Noppo deputy provincial director for administration Flomar Natuel joined Alvarado during a simple turn-over rites on Nov. 5 in Toboso.
On the other hand, Noppo director Manuel Felix stressed that more reshuffling of police chiefs will take effect this month as part of the normal relief and reassignment of overstaying local police chiefs and in preparation for the 2010 general elections.
