Trujillo, Peru: Tourism Police Begin Courses in English

According to LaIndustria.pe the director of the Division of Tourism and Environmental Protection, Edwin Jorge Gutierrez informed journalists of the La Industria newspaper that 18 branches of this department have begun English courses. This new training began after the Division received many complaints from tourists who said that the officers could not understand them, reports the article. Officials say that in the past year they have signed an agreement with the Language Center of the National University in Trujillo and the Peruvian North American Culture Center in order to provide free courses for police to take during free hours and in turn decrease the number of complaints. The director says that this is not a requirement, but the Division would like to provide the best services possible and better their relationship with tourists.Read Article
