Overview
- The Executive published Resolución Suprema N.° 234-2026-IN on Sunday, September 20, 2026, formally reassigning 20 generals and three teniente generals across the Policía Nacional del Perú.
- The measure, signed by President Keiko Fujimori and Interior Minister César Astudillo, says the transfers were made 'por necesidad del servicio' and were proposed by the PNP Comandancia General.
- High-profile moves include Víctor Revoredo leaving the Dirección de Investigación Criminal (Dirincri) to lead the Dirección de Asuntos Internacionales (DIRASINT), and Ricardo Espinoza replacing him at Dirincri while Eric Ángeles Puente takes command of Región Policial La Libertad.
- The resolution directs the PNP Secretaría Ejecutiva to implement the changes and notes some transfers carry cost implications for the State while others do not.
- The reshuffle follows the Sept. 15 change of comandante general and aims to align leaders with functional specialties after reporting about rising homicides, extortion and a contested Trujillo operation that had raised scrutiny of regional policing.
