I believe that both institutions have the possibility of being close to the neighbors and clearly there is a role that is permanently valued ”.
Despite this, he clarified that “the support for both institutions is on the part of this minister, but of course there are pending challenges. One of them is precisely modernization, protocols, always respect people’s Human Rights, The necessary protocols must be established so that any operation, any instance of coordination with the public is always transparent and that people feel that the police and the PDI are in the care of the people ”.
