Until two years ago, 12,589 uniformed (r), officers and men, charged inn at national level.

Pedro Alvarez chairs the Association of retired police Guayas, a group with 5,000 members. On Friday (July 22, 2016) in a Interview with this newspaper, he said they are “cautious” and not be spoken to know in detail the project.

Solo after a study can tell whether the changes were “harms or benefits,” says Alvarez. In fact, still expect the Home Office send them the project was delivered to the Assembly on July 18.

For this week plan to request an appointment with José Serrano , head of the Secretariat, for insight into the reforms . In addition, members will convene and discuss the issue.
