Overview
- The Surquillo station, which closed on Saturday, October 17, stopped public service after authorities declared the building uninhabitable due to structural deficiencies.
- Criminal, traffic and family complaints are being received at the Comisaría de Miraflores on Calle General Vidal N.° 230 while administrative requests and paperwork are handled at Calle Albert Einstein N.° 150 in Surquillo.
- Media reports note a roof collapse last year in the station's reception area that injured three police officers, an incident cited as a key antecedent to the closure.
- The station's guard posted an official notice at the entrance and provided an emergency contact, 943 908 581, for residents who need urgent police support while the site is closed.
- No repair timeline or reopening plan has been published so residents face longer trips for routine police services and local officials may now face pressure to decide on repairs or relocation.
