Police regulation proposal



Ministerial council receives proposed Police Law
Miraflores

The national commission of policing reform (Conarepol), through the Minister of Popular Power and Interior Relations and Justice (MPPRIJ), presented on Tuesday to the Council of Ministers the project for the Law of National Policing.

The minister, Ramon Rodriguez Chacin, put forward a proposed law for the regulation of the diverse policing services based on the principles and values established in the constitution.

Chacin emphasized that this new police is orientated toward humanism, eradicating the old praetorian and egoistic concept that the capitalist system has imposed. “Never before in our country has there been an integrated police force”, he said, pointing out that the new police body that will come out of this new law will be oriented on developing the ethics of socialism for the 21st century.

The proposal has been prepared for by over a year of work, involving more than 70,000 people and police services across the nation, and which received contributions of experienced police professionals, researchers and clients from the most hidden corners of Venezuela to the largest cities.

The investigation yielded information on the presence of 126 police bodies in Venezuela with different forms and standards that should be reoriented. The minister said that, it was on these and other conclusions that the national policing law was elaborated and will be presented for the consideration of the Ministerial cabinet.
