The absence of police in the main detachments of the National District is due to the retirement of at least 2,457 agents. This was reported by the spokesman for the National PoliceDiego Pesqueira, who clarified that these officers were dismissed due to seniority in the service and that none of them left the institution as canceled due to irregularity.
He indicated that of the 2,457 agents retired, 118 members of the institution were granted retirement due to disability, including a colonel.
He indicated that most of the retirees were senior officers and that, therefore, “it does not affect patrolling in the zones at all.”
Pesqueira said that from the uniformed a restructuring is being created and a strategic plan is being worked on to reinforce the detachments affected, especially those located in the National District.
“There is a restructuring that is being worked on, a reengineering of the services is being done by quadrant and we are looking for the agents to reinforce areas that have been a bit delicate”said the spokesman for the National Police.
During a tour carried out yesterday by some detachments Police of the National District reported that they have had a reduction in their personnel of between 5 and up to 10 agents per campus. Several of these had allegedly been transferred, some destined for new functions, while others are listed as retired officers.
On these visits, members of the National Police of different detachments from sectors of the capital, revealed that in the last two months there has been a reduction in the personnel they manage, however, the uniformed only highlights the 2,457 agents Retired due to seniority barely two weeks ago.
To visit detachments in Cristo Rey, a sector where the plan for Citizen security the Ministry of Interior and Policeand the hubbub of the new agents included by the disarmament plan, is not the same.
As confirmed by one of the sector officials, whose name has been protected for security, for a few days, “They have taken three, four and even eight” agents from the police for different reasons.
In the police detachment of Capotillo, another popular neighborhood in the northern part of the capital, not only is there a lack of personnel, but it was observed that the campus is totally abandoned, in very precarious conditions and with only four school seats and a notebook to receive the complaints.
The detachment located in Capotillo has 25 agents police to be distributed in the morning, evening and at night.
While the police force in La Zurza has 90 agents for all three shifts. Previously, this advanced campus had a total of 105 police officers.
A similar situation occurs with that of Villas Agrícolas, where there are only 23 agents, equally to be distributed in the three batches. According to the person in charge, they hope that when the Citizen Security plan arrives in this sector, they can include more personnel.
Despite having a relatively small staff, he ensures that they do the work with quality and “That everything is a matter of coordination.”
