Overview
- The executive branch officialized the 60‑day extension on June 25, 2026, by supreme decree, and the measure takes effect on June 28, 2026.
- The Policía Nacional del Perú (PNP) will have operational control of internal order in Lima Metropolitana and the Constitutional Province of Callao with support from the Armed Forces and will set intervention zones using intelligence, crime maps and statistics.
- The decree allows temporary restriction or suspension of specific constitutional rights, including inviolability of the home, freedom of movement, freedom of assembly and personal liberty and security.
- Organizers of mass religious, cultural or sporting events must request prior authorization from authorities, non‑mass gatherings may proceed without permits, and the Comando de Coordinación Operativa Unificada (CCO) must deliver a results report to the Interior Ministry within five working days after the emergency ends.
- The extension follows a formal request from the Comandancia General of the PNP and continues a pattern of emergency powers used since February 2026 to target organized crime, a move that will likely mean more checkpoints, patrols and permit checks for residents in affected areas.
