Función Administrativa y Jurisdiccional de los Inspectores de Policía en Colombia

Abstract

This article analyzes and studies the administrative and jurisdictional competence of police inspectors in Colombia and the problems that have arisen in the development of their work due to this duality, which, although not explicitly stated in the Law, has been recognized by the Jurisprudence of the Corte Constitucional and the Consejo de Estado. Issues such as the type of acts they issue when making a decision, that is, whether they pronounce through administrative acts or jurisdictional acts, and whether, consequently, such decisions can be subject to control or not by the Consejo de Estado. Through the study of relevant regulations and jurisprudence, this scientific article examines the legal nature of police inspectors in Colombia and also identifies and analyzes the different implications they face when assuming functions that involve administrative and/or jurisdictional decisions.
