Security operations in La Guajira

Overview

Authorities in La Guajira, Colombia, are intensifying efforts to combat criminal organizations. Governor Jairo Aguilar Deluque led a security council involving the National Police, Army, Navy, and Attorney General's Office to define operational and intelligence strategies.

Key actions include focused operations in Riohacha, Uribia, and Maicao to target armed groups and their financing. The strategy involves using drones for reconnaissance and anti-drone systems, as well as creating a criminal map to identify leaders and those responsible for illicit economies. The Second Brigade has also committed to increasing military presence in Dibulla, Manaure, and Riohacha to secure main and secondary roads.

Building on these strategies, soldiers from the Cartagena Medium Infantry Battalion, in coordination with the National Police, have implemented a permanent security deployment on the main highways of La Guajira. These operations are concentrated in the municipalities of Manaure, Riohacha, and Dibulla, where checkpoints have been established to conduct inspections of individuals and vehicle searches. The initiative aims to strengthen the presence of public forces in these road corridors to prevent crime and ensure the safety and mobility of residents, transporters, and visitors.
