A/HRC/45/CRP.11 Service and National Police2250 defines the “integrated police system”, comprising the Ministry of the Interior, the PNB, the state police and the municipal police, among others. 2251 The official websites of police institutions contain little information about police work and indicators.2252 1266. The Mission investigated 11 cases involving 18 arbitrary deprivations of life by State security forces, which are included in the case studies below. The Mission also conducted an extensive review of cases reported by local press from January 2014 to December 2019 in order to identify and corroborate patterns and changes over time.2253 1267. In total, the Mission reviewed 2417 incidents involving 4681 killings by security forces outside of the context of the OLP/OLHPs. This included 96 cases in 2014, 119 cases in 2015, 177 in 2016, 178 in 2017, 625 in 2018 and 1222 in 2019.2254 As noted above, these do not represent the totality of cases of killings by security forces, which according to the most conservative estimates are for most years, over 10 times these amounts (see table 5 above). The states and regions where the killings by security forces most commonly occurred were Caracas (443), Aragua (289), Zulia (290) Miranda (258) and Lara (226). Other states with significant numbers included Anzoátegui (171), Carabobo (138), Bolivar (106) and Guarico (95). The Mission is not suggesting that all these killings by State security forces constituted arbitrary deprivations of life. 1268. The cases analyzed in the comprehensive press review revealed the involvement of various different police forces and shifts over time in the perpetration of crimes.

Between 2014 and 2018, the CICPC was the security force most commonly involved in cases (45.4%). Subsequently, in 2019, the PNB/FAES was identified as the perpetrator in the majority of cases (64.5% of cases). These two security forces were responsible for 59% of killings in the years under review. Beyond cases in which the CICPC is directly responsible, witnesses have also alleged that CICPC forensics agents have allegedly also 2250 2251 2252 2253 2254 248 Decree No. 5.895, con Rango, Valor y Fuerza de Ley Orgánica del Servicio de Policía y del Cuerpo de Policía Nacional, published in the Official Gazette No. 5880 (reforms published in Official Gazette No. 5940), available at: https://derechovenezolano.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/ley-orgc3a1nica-delservicio-de-policc3ada-y-del-cuerpo-de-policc3ada-nacional.pdf.
