Brigadier General Dan-Paul Iamandi has taken over this Monday the command of the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (IGSU) in the presence of head of the Department for Emergency Situations Dr. Raed Arafat. Paul-Dan Iamandi succeeds Col. Eng. Daniel-Marian Dragne whose secondment to the position of IGSU Inspector General has run to end on February 4 and who returns to the position of first deputy to the Inspector General he has been holding since 2014, IGSU said in a release.

Paul-Dan Iamandi will ensure command continuity at the helm of the institution as per the decision of the Prime Minister issued following the proposal of the Minister of Internal Affairs; Iamandi was authorized to fulfill the responsibilities of IGSU Inspector General for a six-month period.
Paul-Dan Iamandi has been serving since 2011 as chief inspector with the Iasi County "Mihail Grigore Sturza" Inspectorate for Emergency Situations.
Having more than 27 years as an officer under his belt, Iamandi has held various positions in the coordination of operational staff, the implementation of civil protection measures, managing county-wide emergency prevention activities and exercising the command of the military unit.
