Overview
- Supreme Decree No. 041-2026-PCM places Trujillo and Virú under a 60-day emergency effective Friday, with the National Police in charge of internal order and the Armed Forces in support.
- The decree restricts the inviolability of the home, freedom of movement and assembly, and personal security, and it requires permits for large public events during the measure.
- Police operations will step up constant foot and motor patrols, run identity checks, search for people with warrants, and bar two adults from riding the same motorcycle.
- Command and intelligence bodies will run 24/7 coordination under a unified operational structure, while regional and provincial security committees remain in permanent session.
- A separate 60-day extension keeps emergency status in VRAEM districts of Ayacucho, Huancavelica, Junín and Cusco, as La Libertad’s acting governor urges adding Chepén, where police report 15 killings this year.
