Overview
- Nearly 700 auditors are inspecting stations in all 25 regions under the “Comisarías Básicas PNP 2025” operation, covering 35% of the country’s 1,318 precincts through November 5.
- Initial visits in Lima found four-decade-old firearms, deteriorated ballistic vests, too few radios, and damaged facilities; the Interior Ministry reports only 9,173 operational vests for about 130,000 officers.
- Auditors also flagged operational and administrative gaps, including missing sector patrol plans, scarce laptops and printers, and late forwarding of complaints involving violence against women.
- Regional checks in La Libertad recorded humidity damage, exposed fire-system wiring, rusted restraints, and ballistic vests beyond their service life.
- In Junín, the Huancayo station was described as in critical condition, lacking internet, adequate vehicles and proper gear, while extortion complaints rose from two to 18 logbooks.
