[DR1] One cop booted out every two days

[NewsWhore]

The National Police have averaged one dismissal every two days since General Bernardo Santana Paez took office. The most recent case was the discharge of Sandy Carvajal Montero for his involvement in the kidnapping of a businessman in Santiago last week. The same day as the kidnapping, the District Attorney for Santiago announced charges against Jose Juan Francisco and Antonio Magarin for the shooting of a woman and her niece during public protests a few weeks ago. According to Diario Libre, police officers' involvement in criminal acts has become a daily reality. A quick recount of published data shows that over the past 90 days thirty-six members of the police force have been dismissed and placed before the justice system. Robberies, kidnappings and assaults are the most common criminal acts associated with these people. Daysi Liriano, the officer in charge of the Police Internal Affairs Department, told Diario Libre reporters that the police have undertaken a program to clean up the department.
