Colombian police child protection initiatives

Overview

The Colombian National Police have implemented various preventive strategies across different regions to protect children and adolescents.

In Montería, authorities launched ‘Planes Arcos’ in public spaces to strengthen preventive actions. These operations included person searches and background checks to prevent crimes threatening the well-being of minors, while promoting emergency contact lines for reporting issues.

In Ipiales, Nariño, police efforts have shifted toward awareness campaigns to combat commercial sexual exploitation, human trafficking, and abuse. Given Ipiales’ position as a border municipality, officials are emphasizing pedagogical campaigns for parents and teachers, alongside heightened vigilance and community coordination to identify victims.
