A contingent of 17,000 police agents will be on patrol from 1 December in order to prevent robberies, assaults and other crimes during the Christmas holidays, according to National Police spokesman Colonel Maximo Baez Aybar. He told Diario Libre reporters that this is part of the 'Safe Christmas 2011 Plan' that seeks to preserve lives and property during the holidays. The Police Chief himself, Major General Jose Armando Polanco Gomez, will formally announce the plan from the Duarte Police Barracks, the starting point for the deployment of police agents to the entire country.
"The agents will be distributed according to a strategic plan that the institution has prepared, based on the number of inhabitants, the economic activity of each area, and the places that we know are most likely to see the occurrence of criminal activities," he said. This will serve to limit the sphere of action of the criminals and delinquents, "we know that during Christmas and the New Year there is a lot of movement of economic resources, people traveling, a lot of commercial activity, which is to say the country is on the move." He said that as a proactive measure, the Chief of Police has ordered the launch of this plan to ensure that most members of society's activities are not affected by any criminal actions. "We have 17,000 agents, we know that the Christmas bonuses that the companies and the government hand out will be paid around 10 December, and included in the plan that the Chief of Police has worked out, these periods and certain fixed points are taken into consideration," he said.
