Overview
- President José Jerí said the current Plan Nacional de Seguridad Ciudadana is void and ordered a new strategy drawing on the 2013–2018 plan, the 2002 Bratton model, and proven institutional and international inputs.
- The Council of Ministers is set to evaluate an updated emergency framework for Lima and Callao that would add complementary actions, with options under review including reinforced patrols, expanded military support in critical zones, and intensified intelligence against extortion and contract killings.
- The government reported sustained joint operations since the late‑October decree, citing more than 2,500 actions, over 3,000 detentions, and illegal weapons seized, according to Interior Ministry figures.
- Jerí delivered protective gear and rifles to the National Police and said further equipment acquisitions will be announced to bolster operations under the emergency.
- Security veterans and experts questioned the emergency’s planning and intelligence focus, warning of weak coordination and a lack of targeted actions against criminal leadership and prison‑based extortion.
