The new National Police chief, Rafael Guillermo Guzman Fermin, told reporters that the teams he has on hand will make his job "easy" and he reassured journalists that he has sufficient training to carry out his job according to society's requirements. El Caribe reporters asked the general about his job during the swearing-in ceremony for new Police Public Relations Officer Ramon Rodriguez Sanchez. The reporters questioned the new chief about his opinions on the National Human Rights Commission's comments about his job performance in San Francisco de Macoris. The CDDH called his appointment as chief "a retrograde step" because during his term as police commander in San Francisco de Macoris, Guzman Fermin was accused of allowing his officers to maim a number of young criminal suspects. The new chief said that he would not be pressured by anyone, and that he would fight crime in strict accordance with the law. Guzman Fermin added that this does not mean that his officers will go easy on criminals. "The mission is to restore society's confidence in the fight against crime."
