Overview
- Fernando Rospigliosi Capurro observed a live operational demonstration at the Dirección de Seguridad del Estado on Monday, May 25, 2026, where elite PNP officers staged protocols for protecting a dignitary in a public event.
- The drill showed rapid deployment, evacuation routes, perimeter coverage, and coordinated response by specialized agents to simulated threats during a protocol ceremony.
- Director Leonaldo Ugaz Tapia reiterated the unit’s mission to provide integral, semi-integral and personal security to presidents, high officials, diplomats and visiting personalities and to prevent and investigate crimes against national security.
- Rospigliosi presented recent measures, including Law 32130 and the newly created genetic-data bank, as legal and technical instruments that return preliminary investigative powers to the police and aim to strengthen suspect identification while limiting certain pretrial liabilities for officers.
- The visit serves as a public display of interinstitutional support for the PNP and highlights the Directorate’s long role in state protection ahead of its 104th anniversary in October 2026.
