Peru Police Overhaul Names Revoredo to Dirincri, Moreno to Lead La Libertad

The appointments follow executive‑approved reassignments aimed at bolstering investigations into violent crime.

Overview

  • The National Police formalized a broad reshuffle that promotes and reassigns roughly 69 generals across the force.
  • Víctor Revoredo Farfán moves from the extortion unit to lead the criminal investigations directorate (Dirincri) in Lima, reflecting a long investigative career.
  • Franco Moreno Panta, known for anti‑kidnapping work and prior DIVIAC service, was designated to command the La Libertad region starting January 1, 2026.
  • The reassignments were proposed by the PNP’s Junta de Cambios and enacted through resolutions signed by President José Jeri and Interior Minister Vicente Tiburcio Orbezo.
  • Officials frame the changes as a response to rising homicides, extortion and organized crime in Lima and La Libertad, with local reports noting Guillermo Llerena’s retirement in La Libertad on January 1.
