During the activity, the general director of the CICPC, Douglas Ric o, highlighted the need to consolidate technological modernization and strengthen operational coordination between citizen security bodies, the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Judiciary.
In this regard, Rico emphasized that joint work and the rigorous execution of technical and scientific expertise constitute fundamental elements to avoid failures conditioned by matrices of public opinion, which guarantees objective, truthful and transparent answers based on science to international indications in the field of human rights.
For her part, the president of the Supreme Court, Caryslia Rodríguez, welcomed the deployment of scientific police personnel at the national level and recognized the strategic work of the National Service of Medicine and Forensic Sciences (SENAMECF) within the chain of custody and criminal proceedings.
In addition, the Attorney General of the Republic, Larry Devoe, raised the need to carry out a deep and self-critical review of the Venezuelan procedural system through a public and open consultation.
Devoe specified that the objective of this initiative is to build a shared diagnosis among all justice operators to identify both the strengths of the personnel and infrastructure and the operational failures that currently affect the citizen's constitutional guarantees.
As a result of the day, the highest authorities agreed to draw up a road map for short, medium and long term action, aimed at overcoming overcrowding and ensuring procedural speed in the country's prisons and judicial offices.
