Hemos recibido el registro calificado del Doctorado en Seguridad y Convivencia otorgado por el Ministerio de Educación Nacional.

Este programa, estratégico e innovador, es liderado por la Dirección de Educación Policial, que avanza en su transición hacia la consolidación como universidad de la Policía Nacional de Colombia.

Su enfoque interdisciplinario, basado en investigación aplicada y análisis profundo de la seguridad y la convivencia, potenciará soluciones basadas en evidencia para transformar el servicio al país.

Con este logro, reafirmamos nuestro compromiso con la ciencia, la excelencia académica y el liderazgo en la generación de nuevo conocimiento al servicio de Colombia.

#LOÚLTIMO | En zona rural de Amalfi, Antioquia, fue derribado un helicóptero de la Policía Nacional que al parecer brindaba seguridad a uniformados en labores de erradicación manual de cultivos de coca. Aún se desconoce el número de víctimas.
