Law enforcement in Peru

Law enforcement in Peru is divided into a national police force and municipal police forces.

Policing responsibilities

Corruption

The Peruvian National Police acts mainly, according to Peruvian reglamented law, as a traffic control force.[1] While it has other squadrons that nominally fight crime, the only effectively organized of them is Black Eagles, the bank security squadron. The majority of the police force is plagued by corruption.[2][3][4][5]
