The Venezuelan government has substantially enhanced its national security infrastructure through a major deployment of operational vehicles and equipment to multiple law enforcement agencies. This strategic initiative delivered approximately 300 pickup trucks outfitted with advanced camera systems and a new fleet of motorcycles to bolster crime-fighting capabilities across the nation.
The comprehensive equipment distribution benefited numerous security divisions including the Bolivarian National Police, General Directorate of Military Counterintelligence, Extortion and Kidnapping Command, Special Operations units, Presidential Honor Guard Special Forces, and the Anti-Drug Command. Additional recipients included the Commando Action Groups, Tactical Operations Unit, Caracas Police, Directorate of Special Actions, Fire Department, and Civil Protection services.
Interior, Justice, and Peace Minister Diosdado Cabello emphasized that this represents a significant national government investment in ensuring all security agencies achieve optimal operational readiness. The initiative forms part of the Bolivarian Revolution’s ongoing commitment to public safety under the direct guidance of President Nicolás Maduro.
Cabello highlighted the systematic campaign against armed criminal organizations, characterizing it as a ‘dedicated and joint’ endeavor involving all security forces. He particularly underscored the coordinated police-military-civilian unity being deployed throughout Venezuelan territory.
Among the notable achievements cited by officials was a documented reduction of 340 homicides compared to 2014 statistics, which authorities attribute to these coordinated security efforts. Venezuelan officials further asserted that the country now maintains one of the world’s lowest crime rates as a result of these comprehensive security measures.
