Overview
- Interior Minister Vicente Tiburcio said the Executive will approve a Supreme Decree to allow immediate retirement of officers found committing crimes in flagrante or in corroborated illicit acts.
- He added that a Supreme Decree with a sanctions table is already in force and that a new discipline office in Lima is handling summary proceedings.
- Tiburcio outlined a broader security plan to boost police capacity through a unified platform, crime maps at stations, and intelligence-led prevention and investigation.
- Inspector General Jhonny Veliz reported 993 officers detained between January and August 2025, with 532 definitively retired after disciplinary processes.
- Critics point to ongoing delays and more than 40,000 administrative files, noting that current practice often suspends and reassigns officers rather than dismissing them.
