Jerí Pivots on Crime Fight, Sets Early January Rollout of Multisector Security Plan

Officials say the new blueprint will draw on international methods, including lessons from the defunct Plan Bratton.

Overview

  • After saying on December 22 he lacked time to “win” the fight against insecurity, the president now says he can end delinquency if the forthcoming plan is followed.
  • The plan is scheduled for presentation in the first days of January and is framed as a multisector strategy rather than the work of a single ministry.
  • Jerí says the strategy will be executed by his government and serve as a reference for authorities who assume office from April.
  • Operational measures continue under the LimaCallao state of emergency, with mass deployments such as 900 officers in Independencia and new territorial tactics from the Interior Ministry and the PNP.
  • Press groups including the ANP criticize a proposal to criminalize disclosure of “reserved” investigative information, warning it threatens investigative journalism.
