History

Background

See also: Civil Guard of Peru, Peruvian Republican Guard and Peruvian Police.

After the Proclamation of the Independence of Peru in 1821 by José de San Martín, the Guard and the Civic Militia were created, with José Bernardo de Tagle as inspector general of all the Guards and Civic Militia. The Liberator Simón Bolívar, by decree of January 7, 1825, provides, in Article 1. of the same, that: "in each capital of the departments of the Republic an infantry and cavalry force will be raised with the denomination of National Militia", whose objectives were those indicated in the articles of the Constitution from 168 to 172, both inclusive, of Chapter 2 Section 3. This National Guard, formed on the basis of licensed army personnel and organized under a military system, also constituted the reserve of the Peruvian Army and was part of the armed forces.

Battalion of Gendarmes of Infantry Republican Guard of Peru No. 1 in its headquarters of the Sacramentos de Santa Ana street in the Barrios Altos.

In 1845, Ramón Castilla, during his first government, had a new organization of the National Guard, distributing it in all the departments, dictated new norms and regulations aimed at delimiting functions of the Political authorities and the General Inspectorate of the expressed Force. In 1851, José Rufino Echenique reorganized the Police Forces into a single Corps and created the National Gendarmerie of Peru.

In 1855, Castilla began its second government, proceeding to reorganize the Gendarmerie, merging the existing Police Forces into it, establishing strict entry requirements and increasing its number. Manuel Pardo y Lavalle, assumed the presidency on August 2, 1872, one of his first actions being to reorganize the Police Forces, that is how the Civil Guard of Peru was born. The formation of this old police lasted until 1919, the year in which during the Oncenio de Leguía it was decided to reorganize it through two supreme decrees issued on August 7, 1919.

Leguía, at the suggestion of General Gerardo Álvarez, ordered, emulating the French Republican Guard, that the Infantry Gendarmes Battalion No. 1 be called the Republican Guard Infantry Gendarmes Battalion No. 1, giving it as a mission the security of the Government Palace and the Congress of the Republic. On September 15, 1948, José Luis Bustamante y Rivero granted autonomy to the Investigation and Surveillance Corps and on June 3, 1960 it changed its name to the Investigative Police of Peru. Since then, there have been three security forces in the country: the Civil Guard of Peru, the Investigative Police of Peru and the Republican Guard of Peru.

Creation

President Alan García, during his first government, began on September 14, 1985, under Law 24294 approved by the Congress of the Republic, a process of reorganization of the Police Forces. On February 4, 1986, continuing with the project undertaken, Legislative Decrees Nos. 370, 371, 372 and 373 referring to the Organic Law of the Ministry of the Interior, the Law of Bases of the Police Forces, Organic Laws of the Civil Guard, the Investigative Police and the Republican Guard.

Legislative decree No. 371 Law on the Bases of the Police Forces established the pillars for the definitive creation of the National Police of Peru. The aforementioned law established a single command (this is the General Directorate of Police Forces). and also the formation of a single study center for the preparation of police officers (called the School of Officers of the Police Forces based in the former Mariano Santos Civil Guard Instruction Center of the Chorrillos district) and a school for guards and agents (called the National Police School based in the former Training Center of the Republican Guard in the district of Puente Piedra).

On December 7, 1988, Law 24949 of December 6, 1988 was published, modifying the pertinent articles of the 1979 Constitution, definitively creating the National Police. The objectives sought were, among others, to integrate the three Police Forces, make better use of economic resources, eliminate the conflicts that existed between them caused by dual functions and, above all, offer a better service to society. Due to the unification of the Police Forces, the Civil Guard, the Investigative Police and the Republican Guard were renamed General Police, Technical Police and Security Police until 1991.

After the creation of the National Police, Santa Rosa de Lima was designated, by Supreme Decree No. 0027-89-IN, published on September 18, 1989, as its Patron Saint. In 1995 Santa Rosa de Lima was decorated with the Order of Merit of the National Police in the degree of Grand Cross, also being awarded the General Honorary Band of the National Police of Peru, in her capacity as Patron of the Institute. In the Annual Calendar of Institutional Festivities of the National Police, August 30 of each year was designated as the Day of Santa Rosa de Lima and Police Virtue, in accordance with the provisions of Supreme Decree No. 0027-89 and directorial resolution No. 355092 of August 6, 1992.

Female Police of the PNP

By the Director Resolution of February 5, 1987, the change of name of the Women's Police School of the Civil Guard, based in the district of San Bartolo, is provided for the Women's Police School of the Police Forces. By Ministerial Resolution No. 101-89-IN/DM of May 6, 1989, the entry of female personnel to the School of Guards of the National Police of Peru is authorized.

On January 11, 1992, Memorandum No. 06-92-DGPNP/SG stipulated the reopening of the Women's Police School.

Sub-office PF-PNP of Transit in the city of Cuzco. The appearance of the Women ' s Police in the NPP dates back to 1992.

With Directorial Resolution No. 54-92 of February 6, 1992, the Police Forces Women's Police School was renamed the School of Non-commissioned Officers of the Women's Police of the Peruvian National Police (ESOPF-PNP).

The PNP Women's Police School began to function, provisionally, in 1992. In the premises of the former Republican Guard Headquarters "Lieutenant Colonel GRP Juan Benites Luna", on Calle Los Cibeles, Rímac, and on April 1, 1992, the first promotion of the Women's Police School was registered as students. of the PNP made up of 174 students who graduated from the service, registering as Petty Officers of the 3rd PF-PNP, on January 1, 1993.

Subsequently, the second promotion of the School of Non-commissioned Officers of the Female Police of the National Police of Peru, made up of 136 students who graduated on December 17, 1993, entered.

Although the PNP has not specified the exact date of creation of the Women's Police within the National Police of Peru, in the absence of its own historical reference, the Women's Police of the PNP celebrates its day (as the day of the policewoman) on May 2 of each year, despite the fact that said day is alien to the history of the PNP Women's Police because on that May 2, 1956, forty ladies joined the Investigation, Surveillance and Identification Corps (C.I.V.I.), causing discharge from May 1, 1956, as Students of the Women's Section of the School of Investigative Assistants of the Detective School of the National Police School.

The PF-PNP has its martyr-symbol in the 3rd PF-PNP Petty Officer Marilyn Marisel Solier Gavilán. She, who was a member of the Ayacucho anti-narcotics unit, was killed by a column of drug traffickers at 7 pm on Sunday, March 23, 2008, in Quinua, Ayacucho, when the anti-drug police patrol, which she was a part of, was returning. to their base through the Ayacuchana jungle, being ambushed by drug traffickers armed with war rifles. She was posthumously promoted to the immediate superior rank of Petty Officer of the 2nd PF-PNP for the reason that she died in the line of duty.

Giving samples of its high preparation for combat, it is made up of experts in shooting, connoisseurs of ambush techniques, demolitions, communications and tactical operations. In their interventions, history records glory and heroism from the top of our mountain range, in the moors of our coast and in the vast region of our jungle.
