Allison Unveils Detailed Security and Transport Plan for Lima

The proposals would require legal change or close coordination with national agencies to take effect.

Overview

  • Allison expanded and defended a package of concrete measures on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, in a JNE debate and an El Comercio/América forum.
  • He proposed a metropolitan serenazgo to operate alongside the Policía Nacional using heat maps, smart cameras, LED lighting and a target to train and certify 10,000 serenos by 2030, and he said serenazgo vehicles could carry armed personnel for self-defense.
  • The campaign calls for a municipal reward program that sets a minimum payment of S/25,000 for information leading to the capture or dismantling of criminal groups.
  • On transport, Allison proposed abolishing the Autoridad de Transporte Urbano (ATU) to return powers to the Municipality of Lima, formalizing informal 'colectiveros' through registration and requirements, and building targeted overpasses and connectivity works to ease congestion.
  • Implementation faces legal and budgetary hurdles: the ATU now oversees Lima and Callao transport, creating a municipal police force would likely need constitutional or legislative change, and reforms to Sedapal and Cofopri are needed to deliver promised water and land-titling benefits to peripheral residents.
