The scandal of the day is the uncovering of an insider ring within the National Police that intercepted radio calls made by the new chief of the Police himself, Major General Rafael Guzman Fermin. As reported in Diario Libre and the Listin Diario, three members of the Police are suspect of blocking calls from citizens reporting crimes to the chief of the Police. Sargeants Pedro Nunez Robles, Wilson Terrero Batista and corporal Nelson Lopez Garcia were found at fault and cancelled from the service, and will be taken to justice. They would intercept the chief of the Police's radio calls ordering rapid response to an emergency. Diario Libre reported that the procedure was to "click" repeatedly on the radio transmissions so the communication was not clear and Police response would be delayed. Supposedly, the agents were in complicity with delinquents who could use the extra time to get away. The Police said this happened at least five times before the chief of the Police caught on.
Following the appointment of the new chief, there have been three major unresolved assaults - on the Winston Churchill and Sarasota gas station, on the Quisqueyana remittance company, and the Texaco gas station at Km. 18 Duarte Highway.
The Police honored six agents that died when combating criminals yesterday. The agent's families received compensation of RD$700,000.
