In a message on the Cuban Parliament’s X account, Lazo acknowledged the work of this armed corps in the daily fight against crime, and to safeguard public order and citizen’s tranquility.

On the same platform, Prime Minister Manuel Marrero congratulated the PNR on behalf of the Cuban Government and people.

Its creation was aimed at having an exemplary institution that would erase from the memory of Cubans the image of repression, abuses and corruption that characterized that corps during the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista (1952-1958).

Today, its fundamental mission focuses on the preservation of public order, public tranquility and road safety.

The PNR performs various tasks, all with a high level of commitment and responsibility. Thus, it contributes to fighting crime and fires, safeguarding natural resources, caring for minors with negative behaviors, and the security and physical protection of the state facilities and institutions, among others.
