EFE – Ecuador Puts Police Under Civilian Control
Date: Jan 20, 2011
Developments following the unrest in Ecuador last fall:
A government decree issued this week ends the “pseudo-sovereignty” of Ecuador’s national police and places the force under civilian control, Interior Minister Alfredo Vera said Wednesday.
The move comes in the wake of a Sept. 30 police mutiny that the center-left government characterized as a attempted coup.
