The authority will also increase the number of specialized police officers to 500 by December 2024
PNP Colonel Victor Revoredo remains firmly in Trujillo, leading the criminal investigation efforts. To this end, the regional governor of La Libertad, César Acuña, made the respective arrangements with the general commander of the National Police, PNP General Víctor Zanabria.
The regional authority and president of CORESEC said that Colonel Revoredo traveled to Lima yesterday for an academic issue and will return tomorrow, Wednesday; however, when speaking this morning with PNP General Zanabria, he said that he ratified him to continue throughout the year as head of the Criminal Investigation Division in our city.
Colonel Revoredo, according to some media reports, had returned to Lima after a month of work leading police actions against public insecurity. The news caused concern in the population given the dedication and effectiveness of the senior officer in the fight against crime.
The officer had declared war on Jhonsson Cruz Torres, leader of the criminal organization known as "Los Pulpos," pledging his prompt capture. In recent days, Revoredo had confirmed that the leader of "Los Pulpos" had offered money for his head, answering that he was not afraid and that "sooner or later he was going to fall."
500 police officers
On the other hand, Acuña Peralta said that another equally important effort is to have achieved the presence of 340 special police officers who are demonstrating a very effective and real work against crime, and that according to their latest requests to the police high command in Lima, that figure will grow to 500, with the commitment that they will stay in Trujillo all year round. "The rotation will be gradual," he said.
He said that the presence of specialized police officers, led by two colonels with a lot of experience in fighting crime, has made it possible to reduce crime rates. He pointed out, as an example, that homicides in Trujillo have decreased considerably, to the point that in the last 35 days of the emergency, only 1 death has been registered.
Acuña Peralta, in his capacity as regional governor, made these statements at the end of a working meeting with a group of agro-exporting businessmen at the Government House, to whom the portfolio of viable projects to be executed by the Works for Taxes modality was exposed, and to whom he asked to have confidence in their authorities who were working to return peace and tranquility.
