The President of the Republic Dina Boluarte on Friday participated in the 59th anniversary ceremony of "Los Sinchis" Division based in Mazamari district, Satipo province, Junin region.

On this occasion, the Head of State was joined by Interior Minister Juan Jose Santivañez and Peruvian National Police (PNP) General Commander Victor Zanabria.

"Los Sinchis"

It is an elite police unit specialized in tactical operations in the jungle, characterized by the high preparation level of its members to carry out missions in critical and difficult-to-access areas, including the Valley of the Apurimac, Ene, and Mantaro Rivers (Vraem).

At 'Los Sinchis' Police Base, located in Mazamari district, its members are trained in tactical actions such as parachuting, intelligence work, rescue, amphibious raids, and subversive combat. 

This knowledge will then be applied in the fight against drug trafficking and terrorism.
