The Ministry of the Interior of Ecuador has recently intervened Segura EP, which is associated with the Municipality of Guayaquil, transferring its logistical, technological, and monitoring resources to the national security system. This intervention is aimed at enhancing security in the area, with the Minister of the Interior, John Reimberg, stating that the measure will remain in place until citizens feel safe. Unlike past operations, such as the total takeover of the Agency of Mobility in Manta, in this case, the personnel at Segura EP will continue their activities without any dismissals.

During the initial operations under police supervision, the minister indicated that there is no fixed timeline for the intervention, highlighting the importance of providing peace and safety to the residents. The police presence aims to bolster security and efficiency in operations at Segura EP as they work towards eliminating crime and restoring public confidence in local institutions. The coordinated effort emphasizes the government's commitment to improving security measures amid rising concerns among citizens regarding safety in Guayaquil.

Reimberg's approach illustrates the current administration's strategy to address public safety issues while maintaining local governance functions. The situation reflects the broader context of law enforcement challenges in Ecuador, where efforts are being made to adapt and respond to crime and violence. The collaboration between the Ministry of the Interior and local entities demonstrates a proactive approach to tackling insecurity, positioning it as a pivotal area of focus for the government amidst ongoing debates regarding police effectiveness and civic engagement.
