Security and development in action: analysis of hybrid capabilities in civil-military operations developed by the Military and Police Commission (COMIPOL)

This article analyzes the hybrid capabilities of the Military and Police Commission (COMIPOL) in the context of its civil-military operations, focusing on its organizational structure, main programs, operational efficiency and comparison with similar units in the region. The study was based on a non-experimental qualitative analysis, conducted through a documentary review of laws, operational manuals, institutional reports and academic literature. The results show that COMIPOL's dual ministerial affiliation (MIDE-MOPC) enhances unique synergies that broaden its multidisciplinary response capacity. Its achievements include more than 3 million road assistances, certification under ISO 9001:2015, and significant contributions to national development and citizen security. This paper concludes that COMIPOL represents a unique institutional model in Latin America, where interagencyism and the integration of military and civilian capabilities allow addressing complex challenges with high operational efficiency.
