Special Police Debriefing Commission
The Special Police Debriefing Commission is the agency in charge of leading the process of purging and transforming the national police force. The Commission determines the aptitudes necessary to become a member of the police, as well as the implementation of a monitoring and supervision system. It also evaluates the records of police officers and, depending on the findings of the investigation, they are either ratified, suspended or canceled. The files are sent to the Public Ministry and the Superior Court of Accounts. The Commission is composed of a representative from the civil society, an ex-President of the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ) and an evangelical pastor. As of 2016, the Special Commission for Police Debriefing had canceled 30 deputy commissioners by restructuring the institution and suspended another six of the 108 staff members evaluated.
