The change within the PNB responds to the movements that Maduro made in the Military High Command, by naming General Estrada Paredes as the new commander of the National Guard. Previously, Estrada Paredes had served as vice minister of the Integrated Police System (Visipol), and was also chief of command of the National Guard Zone in the Capital District.
During the act, Maduro called on officials to join efforts to strengthen the National Police System and urged them to establish higher levels of coordination between the PNB and the GNB.
“The more than 24,000 young people are graduating this July 18 from the National Experimental Security University have my support so that their police career is exemplary in order to protect and serve our people,” said Maduro.
