An Agenda Item No. 886, issued on January 20, 2026, by the National Directorate of the Bolivarian National Police Corps (CPNB), reveals a deep reconfiguration of the Venezuelan police apparatus, characterized by the direct penetration of SEBIN into key areas of command and supervision, at a time when Diosdado Cabello faces growing scrutiny from the United States.
This order consolidates a security model designed to protect the political power, rather than to ensure public order. The temporal coincidence between these appointments and the increase in international pressure on central figures of Chavismo is not accidental: the regime is adjusting its internal mechanisms in response to an increasingly hostile environment.
The Agenda Item No. 886 precisely details the names and positions of officials appointed in this reconfiguration of police command. Frank Joaquín Morgado González, a senior commissioner assigned to the CPNB, was designated as Acting Deputy Director of the Office of the Second Command. Subsequently, the Inspectorate for Police Conduct Control, a key body for internal supervision, came under the leadership of Carlos Alberto Calderón Chirinos, a senior commissioner and active official of SEBIN, who replaces Morgado González. In turn, the Directorate of Diplomatic Custody passed into the hands of Livia Antonieta Acosta Noguera, a general commissioner also affiliated with SEBIN, appointed as Acting Deputy Director in place of chief commissioner Carlos Enrique Origuen Bello of the CPNB. Together, these appointments confirm the displacement of traditional police leadership and the direct intrusion of political intelligence into sensitive areas of state security.
The most sensitive case is that of the Inspectorate for Police Conduct Control, responsible for supervising the behavior of police bodies. Its direction is now in the hands of a senior SEBIN official, eliminating any possibility of independent oversight. In practice, the police will now “oversee” themselves under the supervision of political intelligence, closing the circle of impunity.
Additionally, the appointment of a general commissioner from SEBIN to the Directorate of Diplomatic Custody adds another layer, overseeing the protection of foreign missions and international delegations. The implication is clear: the regime positions political intelligence in roles that intersect with security, foreign relations, and control of the international narrative.
The Cabello Factor
These movements occur while Diosdado Cabello, vice president of Chavismo and one of the most powerful figures in the regime, remains under scrutiny from U.S. agencies investigating corruption networks, drug trafficking, and transnational repression structures. Cabello has been labeled for years as a central operator of the coercion system, with direct influence over military forces, intelligence, and territorial control groups.
Agenda Item 886 must be understood in this context of the regime’s existential threat, indicating that it serves as a preventive shield for the internal apparatus, designed to ensure absolute loyalty and neutralize any institutional fissures against scenarios of judicial or international political pressure.
