Ecuador police maintain permanent deployment during curfew in four provinces
El UniversoLO·EC·about 3 hours ago
Ecuador's Interior Ministry is advancing a project to equip the National Police with uniforms that are 'hardly clonable,' incorporating real-time verification systems, stricter control over manufacturers and suppliers, and agent identification mechanisms. The initiative responds to documented incidents of criminals impersonating police by wearing cloned uniforms, a persistent security concern. The plan's scope, timeline, and technical specifics remain unconfirmed, but it signals a state-level effort to harden law-enforcement identity integrity.
