San Andrés prepares for new police leadership amid security concerns
Colonel Giovanni Barrero Unigarro is set to assume command of the Police Department for San Andrés, Providencia, and Santa Catalina. Although his formal presentation is pending, he is already participating in authority meetings to coordinate responses to public order issues.
His appointment comes during a period of increased citizen concern regarding violence in the archipelago. The new leadership faces challenges in strengthening prevention strategies, improving institutional response capacity, and increasing police presence in high-risk sectors to restore community trust.
Barrero Unigarro previously served as the commander of the Casanare Police Department. His professional background includes experience in specialized operational units such as COPES and Jungla, as well as serving as a police attaché at the Colombian Embassy in Italy.
