Audit Finds Junín Police Stations Unsafe and Underequipped, Chupaca at 'Very High' Collapse Risk

The state audit office ordered the regional police to implement immediate corrective measures to keep services running.

Overview

  • Contraloría inspections across the Valle del Mantaro detailed structural hazards, missing safety certifications and equipment shortfalls that threaten staff and public safety.
  • Chupaca was rated at very high risk of collapse with exposed steel, severe humidity and uncovered wiring, and it has only 5 of 18 vehicles operable and 13 bulletproof vests for 202 officers, all over 30 years old.
  • In Huancayo, auditors found cracks in columns, walls and ceilings and noted the station lacks the required building safety certificate.
  • El Tambo operates without ITSE, SIPCOP or a sector patrol plan, with only 7 of 30 computers working and officers relying on personal equipment.
  • Concepción falls below its staffing minimum with 97 officers versus the 120 required and has an ITSE that reports noncompliance, while Jauja shows water damage and multiple inoperative vehicles.
