Bogota, Jul 19 (EFE).- Colombian President Ivan Duque announced Monday a new policy of transparency and respect for human rights by the National Police at an event at which the force’s new uniforms – now blue rather than green – were unveiled.
“Today, with our men and women of the National Police, we begin a process of comprehensive transformation … This uniform is designed to be used by all citizen security services in (Colombia) and has several elements that are innovative, the most important being its policy of transparency,” the president said.
Among the changes Duque announced were also the use of body cameras to document police operations, a move that will facilitate the identification and supervision of officers.
