The Interior Minister, Jesús Vásquez Martínez, yesterday accepted the request for an external audit of the National Police, carried out by the Working Group for the Transformation and Professionalization of the institution of order.

The official immediately urged the Chamber of Accounts to be included among its priorities.

Vásquez Martínez released a letter sent to the president of the oversight body, Janel Andrés Ramírez, who, in addition to congratulating on his appointment, asked him to urgently give priority to conducting an external audit of the National Police, regarding the management and procedures of its internal control.
