Venezuelan police to train in Cuba

Venezuelan daily El Universal reports:

Next June, a group of Venezuelan police officers will travel to Cuba and Nicaragua to be trained in community police matters. Minister of Interior and Justice Ramón Rodríguez Chacín stated that they will be making institutional visits for three months.

“In June, July, and August, institutional visits will be made to highly experienced police organizations that have shown great results as community police officers, such as Cuba and the Revolutionary Police of Nicaragua, which are successful models,” Rodríguez Chacín stated in a press conference in Nuevo Horizonte slum.
The Organic Law on the Police and National Police Body Service establishes the creation of community police bodies, “professional, steady, mainly prevention officers, to promote strategies and procedures in the community and to work in specific places.”

Cuba’s National Revolutionary Police Force (Policía Nacional Revolucionaria, PNR) is under the administration and a sub-directorate of the Ministry of Interior.
