Harvey Colchadoformer head of the Diviac and retired PNP colonel, was interviewed in the recent edition of the program ‘Curwen in The Republic’ to address the worrying issue of citizen insecurity and the protests that originated from it. Thus, Colchado left commenting that with the entry of José Jerí It is essential for the Government to make a change in the high command of the National Police because they are the ones who have not taken measures or done proper planning in managing insecurity. “Other leaders have to come in, who have a more strategic vision… They are separating the police officers from kidnapping and extortion, and leaving the teams without agents, which is a deception,” refuted the former head of Diviac.
Likewise, regarding what the population has been demanding regarding the insecurity crisiswhich will march tomorrow, October 15, Harvey Colchado stressed that the first thing the Government is “promote the repeal of procrime laws.” “With all these rules that have been given, the president himself should ask for them to be modified or the situation will become more complicated (…) We must relieve the interior minister and to the senior police officers,” he reiterated.

On the other hand, the retired colonel pointed out that to combat crime, both prevention and investigation are essential and that there is clearly no coordinated strategy within the Police. Also, he directly accused the political power within the Government and the Congress of not wanting to apply new technologies in the fight against crime, since they themselves would be exposed by committing various crimes. “There is a lack of political will, those in power end up benefiting the criminal organizations just to shield himself. Therefore, this July 28, it is essential to inform yourself and vote for decent people,” Colchado concluded.
