The head of the Guiana Strategic Criminal Investigation Region (REDIP), CSG José Jaramillo, stated that “we are in this institution the size of the commitment presented to us, we are integral”, during his participation in the radio program Let's Talk About Prevention, hosted by the general secretary of the Scientific, Criminal and Criminal Investigations Corps (CICPC), CGS Mercy Bracho.

Jaramillo explained that police work implies a constantly evolving vocation for service and noted that, after three decades of experience, he has strengthened his human vision, so he said: “Today I consider that I have become a better person, a more empathetic person, capable of having that willingness to help others”, reviewing experiences accumulated in his 30 years of service.

Regarding operational plans, he reported that EDIP Guayana is making progress in infrastructure projects and announced the upcoming inauguration of the Casacoima Municipal Delegation, which will serve directly the Delta Amacuro state, in addition to specifying that the legal procedures are being managed to install a new headquarters in Guasipati, Bolivar state.

The regional chief indicated that these actions are linked to the permanent refurbishment of current offices, so the institution seeks to strengthen both workspaces and areas intended for citizen care.
Jaramillo stressed that the reduction in the crime incidence responds to coordinated work between security agencies and emphasized the effectiveness of the Great Quadrants of Peace Mission as a State policy, while recalling that the Cicpc administers two quadrants in Amazonas and one in Bolívar, with assistance deployments in the area of security, education and social support.

“The creation of the Peace Quadrants brought that rapprochement between State security agencies and the community, with People's Power,” he said.

Finally, he pointed out that theft, injuries and computer crimes represent the most common typologies in the region and explained that, to address this situation, the CICPC runs weekly technical-scientific working groups, through which modus operandi are analyzed and preventive strategies are designed, for which he argued that “when working as a team, we will hardly have a stumbling block”.
