Since April 2007 seven National Department of Drug Control (DNCD) officers have been murdered and in the same period 200 officers have been attacked. Of those seven deaths four have occurred since October 2007. According to DNCD spokesman Roberto Lebron, the reason there has been an increase in the attacks and deaths is because these officers and the DNCD are working to stop the drug trade in the DR. Would-be assailants have no remorse and don't care about an officer's rank or familial situation when attacking. This was the case when Army Sergeant Fernando Vasquez Jorge was attacked in the presence of his family in Arroyo Hondo in 2007.
