The recent passing of the chief inspector of the National Police in Arrecife, Eduardo Rolo Corchero, has left a deep void in Lanzarote, both professionally and humanly. This public servant, who dedicated his life to serving citizen security, will be remembered as an example of integrity, professionalism, and humanity.
Eduardo Rolo not only led police work with rigor and efficiency, but also played a crucial role in building a safer environment for the citizens of Lanzarote. Under his leadership, the Arrecife Police Station stood out for its commitment to protecting rights and guaranteeing security in a context of increasing challenges. His work was not limited to the execution of his duties; he knew how to generate confidence in the institution and in his team, promoting fundamental values such as empathy, collaboration, and a sense of justice.
On a personal level, Eduardo Rolo was known for his affable character and his closeness to those around him. His death represents an irreparable loss for his family, made up of his wife and three children, as well as for the people of Lanzarote who have lost a reference of dedication to the common good.
In this moment of mourning, it is essential to recognize and honor the legacy of people like him, who dedicate their lives to public service with unquestionable vocation. His professional career and his personal commitment to society leave us with a lesson: the importance of working for a fairer and safer world.
The example of Eduardo Rolo Corchero will remain alive in the collective memory of Lanzarote and in the work of those who, like him, assume the responsibility of protecting and serving. May his dedication be a source of inspiration for present and future generations. Rest in peace.
Pedro Viera Espinosa,
Island Director of the General State Administration in Lanzarote.
