A proposal for police reforms by the National Police is tantamount to the creation of a police state, which is contrary to the Constitution of the Republic, according to the District Attorney for the National District, Yeni Berenice Reynoso. "They want to search without a warrant, interrogate without the presence of the Justice Department, and have a monopoly of the databases of the processes," she told Hoy newspaper.

Speaking at the Corripio Communications Group luncheon, the DA for the National District and the District Attorney for the province of Santo Domingo, Olga Dina Llaverias agreed that the current crime prevention and prosecution methods in the DR are obsolete and inefficient and that a new strategy is needed. Among other things, the two judicial figures revealed that drug trafficking, organized crime and aggravated robberies are planned in Santo Domingo and the National District and carried out in other parts of the country. Dina Llaverias said that the province of Santo Domingo is the most populated area of the country with 2.3 million inhabitants, covering an area of 1,300 square kilometers.
