SENIOR Supt. Elmer Jamias on Monday has been named as the new director of the Eastern Police District (EPD), replacing Chief Supt. Abelardo Villacorta.

Jamias, the former deputy director for administration of Southern Police District (SPD), who figured in a confrontation with Vice President Jejomar Binay last July when police blocked the supporters of Makati Mayor Junjun Binay from entering the City Hall compound when the second suspension order against the mayor was about to be served, on Monday, formally assumed the post of officer-in-charge of EPD in a ceremony at the headquarters in Pasig City.
