Peredo, from Sagada, Mountain Province and a member of the Philippine National Police Academy Class 1992, served as deputy regional director for administration of the Police Regional Office-5 (Bicol) before becoming the 32nd director of PRO-Cordillera which is dubbed as “home of the most disciplined cops.” He replaced Brig. Gen. Mafelino Bazar who served for seven months and two days and is now the deputy commander of the APC-Northern Luzon. "I'm a Cordilleran and I've served here for a long time, so I have a lot of confidence in the ability of the police here. We will further expand the police presence in each barangay, especially now that the barangay election is approaching, which must be planned immediately so that we can maintain a peaceful election in our region,” said Peredo. Peredo added he will further expand the Malaskit, Kaayusan Kapayapaan=Kaunlaran (MKK=K) and Kapulisan, Simbahan, at Pamayanan (Kasimbayanan) program and advocacy of PNP chief Gen. Rodolfo Azurin Jr.
