Jerí Says Crime Growth Has Stalled as He Weighs Extending Emergency to More Regions

He plans a three-month tour to sign regional agreements.

Overview

  • The government is evaluating renewals of emergency measures in La Libertad and Zarumilla and the potential inclusion of Lima Provincias under the LimaCallao security model.
  • The LimaCallao approach pairs police and military under a unified command, which Jerí says could be adapted for other high-incidence areas.
  • One month into his tenure, Jerí reported the criminality growth curve has leveled off, saying the next step is to push it into decline.
  • He pledged not to interfere in police operations to detain fugitives, including Vladimir Cerrón, whose preventive detention review is scheduled for November 26.
  • Citing fiscal limits, Jerí said the administration will prioritize urgent actions, pursue budget adjustments in Congress, and announce its Reinfo position after hearing remaining stakeholders.
