Ayon pa sa NAPOLCOM, bagama't may kapangyarihan ang hepe ng pulisya na magtalaga at mag-reassign ng mga Police Commissioned Officers hanggang sa third-level position, nakasaad daw sa Section 26 ng Republic Act of 6975 na nasa kapangyarihan pa rin ng NAPOLCOM ang mag-review, approve, reverse at mag-modify.
Dagdag pa ng NAPOLCOM, "Any designation, assignments, reassignments without prior review and confirmation of the NAPOLCOM shall be deemed ineffective... Non-compliance with the requirements...shall subject accountable officers to administrative sanctions."
Sa kabila nito, nagpahayag naman ng pagsuporta kay Torre ang National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) at Police Regional Office (CAR).
"The men and women of NCRPO express unshakeable support to the Chief, Philippine National Police and all of his legally-issued administrative and operational directives pursuant to the lawful exercise of his mandate as the duly-appointed leader of the country's police force," anang NCRPO.
Sa hiwalay namang pahayag ng CAR-PRO, nanindigan silang walang nilabag sa batas ang nasabing pagtatalaga ni Torre.
"These actions are not only lawful but essential in ensuring an efficient, disciplined, and mission-ready police force," anila.
