If you are looking for the contact details of a specific police station (Comisaria) or one of their special units (e.g. vehicle theft - DIROVE, criminal investigation, etc.), visit the homepage of the Policía Nacional del Perú:

In conjunction with the consumer protection organisation INDECOPI the Tourist Police will offer visitors and as the name already indicates, especially tourists help and support.

It might be very helpful to contact them directly when you are in trouble (fraud, theft,…), because due to the chain of command the ‘normal’ police will call them anyway to deal with all cases where a foreigner has been involved (most of them are supposed to speak English).

This police station in Miraflores was inaugurated in August 2007 to optimise the attention for tourists when encountering problems. The 'Brigada de Águilas Blancas' (White Eagles) based in this station, is an additional force on the streets with the main aim to increase the protection, security and attention especially of/for tourists.

The municipality of Miraflores operates like most other districts as well, its own ‘city – police’ (called Seguridad). These ‘forces’ are independent from the police and give additional security to the citizens.

In February 2007 the Seguridad Miraflores put a new unit in service: 'The Tourist Police'.
They have clearly marked vehicles and there is a big sticker on the car saying: 'We speak English'. According to press releases by the municipality their employees are prepared to maintain ‘fluid conversations’ in English, French, Italian and Japanese. On board of the vehicle are additionally two regular Policemen.

In case of any type of incident, one of the voluntary fire brigades (Bomberos) in Lima can respond with very well equipped units and provide good first aid. We had a good look at their vehicles and the equipment is really up to international standards.
