Announcements
IEPR
09 April 2026

The Institute participated in the public hearing on “Protecting, Managing and Preserving Digital Evidence in Criminal Cases”.

From the Institute's perspective, the regulation of digital evidence in criminal proceedings must explicitly incorporate a statistical and data governance approach that strengthens the quality, integrity, traceability and availability of the information that underpins judicial and public policy decision-making.

The Institute recognizes the relevance of the proposed issues and supports the development of a legal framework that, in addition to establishing substantive obligations, enables the generation of indicators, standardized administrative records and interoperable systems to monitor the performance of the criminal justice system in terms of digital evidence, while respecting the principles of confidentiality, protection of personal data and fundamental rights.

Dr. Orville M. Disdier, one of the keynote speakers at the first BanCoop Executive Forum

Dr. Orville M. Disdier, Executive Director of the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics, was a keynote speaker at the first BanCoop Executive Forum. The event, hosted by the Banco Cooperativo de Puerto Rico under the theme “Beyond Change: Perspectives for Anticipating and Leading in a Transforming Environment,” brought together over 160 leaders from Puerto Rico’s cooperative sector, including board members, CEOs, and special guests. Under the theme “Puerto Rico’s Demographic Context,” Dr. Disdier presented a talk titled “The Cooperative Member of the Future, Today: Data, Decisions, and Systemic Impact.” “The future of Puerto Rico is not set in stone, but is written in the data we hold in our hands today. Let us use that information to become the cooperative leaders Puerto Rico will need tomorrow, starting right now,” Disdier noted at the conclusion of his presentation.
