📋 Tender Overview
The objective of the action tables is to reduce crime and increase citizens perception of security within the framework of the State of Emergency in Lima and Ventanilla. With the goal of reducing homicide and extortion rates by 20% and the objective of optimal coordination between various institutions, as well as implementing targeted police operations and promoting community participation, PNP Commander General Victor Zanabria Angulo participated in the emergency action tables, held this Tuesday, October 29, in the auditorium of the Special Services Unit East, located in the district of La Victoria, Lima.
During the first part of the activity, fourteen technical work tables were held in parallel, one for each district declared in a state of emergency. The Minister of the Interior, Juan Jose Santivanez Antunez; the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Eduardo Arana Ysa; police officers from various specialized units of the National Police of Peru and the managers of citizen security of each district declared in a state of emergency also participated in these meetings.
These technical meetings seek to significantly reduce the rates of homicides, kidnappings, extortions and robberies in the affected districts, contributing to reestablishing security and peace in the communities. Likewise, increase the police presence through patrols and itinerant operations in the districts in emergency, with a 30% increase in the number of daily patrols.
Meanwhile, the PNP commander general Victor Zanabria Angulo referred to the fact that this strategic design is based on the multi-sectoral policy of citizen security taking advantage of the capacities that the state has through the armed forces, the Police and the local authorities that lead us to face four risk factors that we have inherited: corruption, informality, impunity and illegality.
In that line of ideas, he also added: If we want to change it, we must not do more of the same, but improve the levels of citizen confidence to have complaints and dismantle the gangs and criminal organizations with the support of community organizations, citizen security committees and the network of cooperators. Everyone has their job to do, the citizen has to report, the authorities have to reduce the risk factors and the states punitive system has to start investigations so that other justice operators can obtain effective and dissuasive sentences, he said finally.
Among other priorities of the technical committees is to promote the creation of 500 neighborhood councils that collaborate in community security and surveillance activities, consolidate crisis committees and weekly meetings between government entities to evaluate and adjust security strategies based on the evolution of the emergency; optimize human and logistical resources to implement an integrated patrol plan focused on priority areas.
