President Leonel Fernandez has ordered the removal of 427,072 people from police files, leaving 198,309 names on file. The legal authorities and the national security agencies will keep the police files on particular individuals. The move was part of Presidential decree 122-07 which establishes police records as permanent or temporary, according to Interior and Police Minister Franklyn Almeyda Rancier. A permanent record will be assigned to anyone who has been convicted of a crime, while temporary records will be for people who are still under investigation. The records will be kept under the "Registro de Control y Inteligencia Policial," and will not be considered records. They will not be made public, either.
