Santo Domingo.- Around 150 police agents will be assigned to Santo Domingo´s seaside boulevard Malecon, where they´ll patrol to guarantte security for visitors, said National District mayor Roberto Salcedo and Police chief Rafael Guzmán.
The Police Chief said more than 130 agents will patrol the Malecon´s 12 kilometers aboard six vehicles and two motorcycles, while Salcedo revealed that a safety circuit will be implemented aimed at boosting the visitors´confidence.
Salcedo spoke together with Guzmán in a press conference in the Plaza Juan Baron, said a call for tenders starts this week to install street lighting in the entire zone and that measures to be disclosed next week will be taken in the Malecon to lower the risk pedestrians face from the many vehicles traveling at high speeds.

NARCOTRÁFICO/SOCIEDAD
Director Casa Abierta: "Hay una política absurda que oculta la mediocridad en RD"
Juan de la Rosa afirmó que en el país existe una “política absurda” que oculta la mediocridad, la delincuencia y el narcotráfico con nombres “grandilocuentes como seguridad democrática”.
“Las autoridades continúan con una política de drogas de los años cincuenta. Alardeamos de un estado moderno, estamos en todos los foros internacionales, pero ésto de nada nos sirve. Se ignoran las recomendaciones respecto al tema, que recomiendan masificar las medidas preventivas para insistir en modelos fracasados, teniendo como herramienta fundamental una ley que se presume de dura”, enfatizó el psicólogo
El director de Casa Abierta aseguró que “estos inútiles alardes de fuerza tienen, además, otra cara que es la criminalización de la pobreza"

This is just not right. Have things degraded so much that citizens are totally afraid to go out, socially congregate and enjoy the many attributes endowed by the creator? What about that second professed passion by all Dominicans to talk politics and how they could do much better that anybody living at the presidential palace-although, in this case, that might not be all that difficult.
Darn, not being able to enjoy the Malecon is like taking Cibao out our vocabulary. Maybe we've just lost our country and culture and way of being.....sad, very sad.

I do not know how many police are in the country but I can remember when ever it is the holidays the government will talk about an extra 10000 cops on the streets. SO lets just look at that number. That means 1 cop for every 1000 people. Where I live in Villa Faro my street has maybe 500 people over an area of 6 blocks. So that means with 21- eight hour shifts a week and cops working 40 hours you would need 4 cops to have 24/7 coverage but lets throw in one more. Just for giggle. So 5 streets six blocks long would be the beat for one cops for 24/7 beat. Now give him partner and then you have 10 streets 24/7 coverage. Now if these cops are walking the beat I should see them walk in front of my house at least 1 time every 90 minutes.
That alone would slow down a lot of problems and garner respect from the population.
Now with out knowing the proper number of cops and with use the military also what would that do.

Vehículos de la PN, listos para patrullar, en la Plaza Juan Barón
La Policía Nacional y el Ayuntamiento del Distrito Nacional dejaron en funcionamiento el Sistema de Seguridad del Malecón y de inmediato el jefe de la Policía, Rafael Guillermo Guzmán Fermín, dispuso una fuerza de 263 hombres divididos en 66 agentes de la Policía, 45 de la Policía Municipal, 20 de Politur y 137 agentes que entrarán más tarde procedentes del Departamento de Radio Patrulla de la Policía.
Guzmán Fermín y el alcalde Roberto Salcedo coincidieron en que la ciudad de Santo Domingo volverá a ser más segura donde los turistas criollos y extranjeros podrán acudir a caminar, respirar aire puro, sin temor a la delincuencia.
Pusieron como ejemplo la Plaza Juan Barón que antes de su recuperación era un espacio para la delincuencia y estaba arrabalizada por particulares, y agregaron que hoy en día es un sitio adonde la familia puede ir a disfrutar de su belleza.

Recordó que la Plaza Omar Torrijos era arrabal y que también fue recuperada por las autoridades del Ayuntamiento del Distrito Nacional.
"La playa de Güibia fue recuperada y ya ustedes saben lo que eso significa para los munícipes de la ciudad capital", dijo.
Según Guzmán Fermín, se harán todos los esfuerzos para que en lo adelante la seguridad ciudadana se incremente en la zona dando buenos frutos en beneficio del turismo y de la propia ciudadanía que día tras día camina por la zona para deleitarse con el paisaje, los centros de diversión y todo el esplendor que brinda la belleza del Malecón y del mar Caribe en horas de la noche y el bello amanecer que nos brinda la naturaleza.

I had them stop me once for a shake down because I have an SUV full of household stuff leaving the store. That time BTW way my wife( GF at the time) started screaming all I want to do is start a good life and these jerks are going to scare him off and a crowd gathered around and started yelling at the police and police asks us to just leave so the crowd would disperse.
A few years ago there was joint police military patrols because the police were involved in like 60% of the crimes. The military guarded the police and they rotated the military so as not to form relationships with the cops. I do not know if you live here.
