John Reimberg, Ecuador's Minister of Interior, visited several Security Action Stations (EAS) in Guayaquil, reaffirming the ongoing partnership with the Public Security Company (Segura EP). The visit on February 20 came as a follow-up to the intervention initiated on February 15, which involved significant integration of resources into the national security system. Reimberg's presence highlights the government’s commitment to enhancing public safety through cooperation with local forces and the National Police.

During the visit, Reimberg addressed accusations regarding the conduct of Segura EP personnel, specifically denying claims of 'kidnapping.' He characterized the actions taken as part of a coordinated effort to improve safety and security in strategic locations across the city, facilitated by joint operations with police officers present at EAS stations. This initiative aims to bolster public order and enhance the effectiveness of security measures in Guayaquil.

The partnership between the Ministry of Interior and Segura EP seems to signal a proactive approach in mitigating security concerns in urban areas. By integrating logistics, technology, and monitoring resources with local police units, the government is attempting to create a more cohesive security framework. The implications of this initiative are significant, as successful implementation could lead to improved perceptions of safety among citizens and a potential reduction in crime in Guayaquil.
