Who is General Ricardo Yañez, the new General Director of the Carabineros

Until this November 19, Ricardo Yáñez Reveco, from San Fernando, served as deputy director of the Carabineros. In fact, he had been doing this for a few days, since since November 6, when the new High Command was made official, he had assumed that position from his position as National Director of Order and Security.

Perhaps that folksy origin materialized it in one of the phrases he used to mention in the weekly balance sheets: “The most stubborn of the stubborn.” In the city of the sixth region, in the deep Colchagua, the new general director of Carabineros did his first studies at the “Jorge Muñoz Silva” school, from first to sixth grade and then at the San Fernando Institute from seventh to fourth year medium.

Those who know General Yáñez describe him as a policeman on the ground. From police station. Always linked to Public Order work, the general graduated from the School of Carabineros Officers in 1988, with the rank of second lieutenant.

Thus began a career that in 2016 left him in the rank of general, in charge of the Tarapacá Zone. His specialty, they say inside Carabienros, are two things: operational and statistical work. In 2013, when he was head of the Oriente prefecture, together with General Victor Herrera, he established a data analysis system, in a georeferenced way, with the crime hot spots in the area.

That model he replicated in his career as a general. In 2018 he returned to the Metropolitan Region, when he was promoted to General Inspector, in the position of national head of the Directorate of Order and Security.

That position brought him a high labor demand, but also a benefit: they met him in the field in the government. In the Undersecretariat of the Interior they “signed” him as their favorite, given that he knew by heart the 27 procedures per minute that Carabineros assumed on the street.

With the last change of command, the government did not hide: they left him as deputy director of the Carabineros, in a preferential area in case Rozas left. With this move, La Moneda was not exposed to a massive departure of generals in case Rozas fell, given that the rest of the general quina was not compromised. And so it happened. The favorite of La Moneda is already in command of the Carabineros.
