Law enforcement roles

[NewsWhore]

Yesterday, police officers, state prosecutors and governors from across the country met to discuss their roles in the judicial and legal process. Participants discussed the Dominican penal code and how each sector fits into applying its statutes. The meeting was led by Prosecutor General Radhames Jimenez Pena, Minister of Interior and Police Franklyn Almeyda and National Police Chief Rafael Guillermo Guzman Fermin. Guzman, quoted in Hoy, said the point of the workshop was to determine how to "harmonize" the work of all parties. Guzman said that the nation's judges should have a similar coordination workshop. The need for this meeting came about as police, prosecutors and government officials have been shifting blame as to who is responsible for investigating crimes as well as who should be responsible for putting criminals in jail and keeping them there.
