The updating of the Cuban economy model requires the PNR actions to be more efficient to allow the population to see how its safety, order and tranquillity is guaranteed at all times, said Becerra Morciego during the act to mark the 52 anniversary of the institution.

He said policemen must apply the Law with maximum rigor and severity against criminals and corrupting elements within the society.

Chiefs and Army officials attended the ceremony where full colonels Raimundo Rodríguez Roche and Anselmo Llano Peraza received the Distinguished Service medals. Also Lieutenant Diamila Suárez Jerez and corporal Ernesto Moreno Tumbarell were awarded for their outstanding performance when they located and apprehended within a day the criminals that stole a car in the Havana municipality of Cotorro.

On January 5, 1959, Commander Efigenio Ameijeiras took office as chief of the National Police that was based at the old castle located in Cuba and Chacon streets.
