Overview

• Congress removed Dina Boluarte and swore in José Jerí on October 10, setting up a transition government that has put public security at the forefront.
• Jerí joined INPE and police in simultaneous inspections at the Ancón I, Lurigancho, Trujillo and Challapalca prisons, an operation officials say will continue to disrupt extortion and hired killings organized from inside jails.
• Transport leaders said their meeting with Jerí yielded seven commitments, including forming a specialized police unit within 15 days, new resources for prosecutors and courts, and proposals to extend detention windows and amend laws critics call pro‑crime.
• Protest organizers from youth and university blocs, joined by transport unions, are rallying nationwide on October 15 to demand urgent, measurable results on citizen security.
• Prosecutors opened a preliminary attempted‑homicide case in the Agua Marina concert shooting, with forensics reporting about 25 shots fired from outside the venue; four injured band members are stable, and police separately detained an armed suspect near Lima’s mayor at a public event.
