Raul M. Bacalzo (born September 15, 1955) is a Filipino lawyer and retired police officer who served as the chief of the Philippine National Police.

Career

As a member of the class 1977 of the Philippine Military Academy, Bacalzo is known for his crime investigation specialties. He is also a lawyer who placed 12th in the 1984 Bar Exam.

He was appointed on September 14, 2010, as PNP chief, replacing General Jesus Verzosa. During his tenure, he said that the implementation of death penalty would not be a good idea.

But he choose to retire early on September 9, 2011, and replaced by DDG Nicanor Bartolome, the Directorial Staff chief or PNP's No. 4 official. After that, he was a named candidate to replace Ret. General Magtanggol Gatdula as NBI Director.
