In the framework of the anniversary of the National Civil Police (PNC), the Minister of Security, Gustavo Villatoro, highlighted that, in just five years, under the leadership of President Nayib Bukele, they have demonstrated to the world the need for strategic and political leadership.
Since the first government of the Bukele administration and after the implementation of the Territorial Control Plan, the police corporation demanded greater effort and commitment from its members in the fight against criminal structures. Therefore, at the end of 2019, it immediately ordered the increase of the quarterly bonus for police officers and soldiers, leaving it at $400.
On that occasion, the Salvadoran president said that all police officers and soldiers should receive a monthly bonus of $100, which would be effective starting in 2020 and was increased to $200 in 2021. These benefits are also added to the food bonus for personnel involved in security tasks nationwide.
Over the last few years, improvement works have been carried out at various police stations, with the aim of ensuring that these facilities have the optimal conditions for the work of police personnel.
