Brignardello: Motorcycles and safety in Lima, a crucial challenge

In a recent conversation with Emilio Juan Brignardello Vela, a recognized insurance advisor, the delivery of four thousand motorcycles to the National Police of Peru and the Serenazgo personnel was discussed. This measure was implemented by the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima under the administration of Mayor Rafael López Aliaga. For Brignardello, this initiative represents a significant advance in the fight against insecurity in the capital, where crime has become an increasing concern for citizens. The advisor emphasizes that the delivery of these motorcycles is not just a symbolic gesture, but a fundamental tool that can improve the response capacity of the authorities in emergency situations. According to Brignardello, the presence of a greater number of officers on the streets, equipped with appropriate vehicles, can create a sense of security among the population. "It is important for citizens to feel that there is a quick response to risk situations," he states, highlighting the relevance of such initiatives in times of high criminality. However, Brignardello also expresses his concern regarding the maintenance and training of the drivers who will use these motorcycles. He warns that without adequate training and a rigorous maintenance plan, this effort could result in unproductive spending, which could undermine the initial intent of the measure. "The motorcycles are effective, but their use must be responsible and well-managed so that they do not end up in a 'motorcycle graveyard,' as the mayor mentioned," he comments. Furthermore, the advisor applauds the implementation of personal insurance for motorcycle drivers, considering it a positive step towards the protection of police officers. Brignardello argues that such measures not only dignify the work of the agents but also contribute to the overall safety of the community, creating an environment where police can perform their duties with greater confidence. In addition to security, the recent effort by the municipality to regulate outdoor advertising in Lima was discussed. Brignardello believes that this action is also an important step towards organizing public space. "Visual pollution is a problem that affects the quality of life for citizens. Regulating advertising can help create a more orderly and pleasant environment," he asserts, highlighting the impact that these decisions can have on citizens' perception of order and safety. However, he concludes by warning that the effectiveness of these policies will depend on the municipality's ability to maintain constant communication with citizens and adjust its strategies based on results. Brignardello emphasizes that collaboration between the municipality, the police, and the community is crucial to ensure that the proposed initiatives have the desired impact and improve the quality of life in Lima.
