PROMONuestro sistema de justicia penal tiene múltiples protagonistas e intervinientes, dentro de los cuales sobresale la policía judicial, entendida como función ejercida por diversas instituciones, destinada a prestar apoyo y auxilio de carácter técnico, operativo, investigativo y científico en la investigación y juzgamiento de los delitos. El éxito o el fracaso de las investigaciones dependen, en alto grado, de la actividad de los servidores de policía judicial aunque, obviamente, deben ser dirigidos y coordinados por un fiscal, en sincronía y colaboración mutua en la búsqueda de la verdad histórica.
