I saw 10 police vehicles, with lights flashing, passing through Cab at around 7.45 this evening.
Were they just heading out for pizza or did i miss something?

Anyone know?

I saw several of them coming from Sosua about 7pm... And saw them heading back to Sosua about 8:30. No idea what was going on. Their headlights were blinding, not to mention the flashing lights. One had the entire grill covered with bright white lights up to the point it was almost impossible to see the highway. Second time I've had that $&"/!# blind me this week.

They actually have the money for maintenance of the vehicles and gasoline?

some of those vehicles are "privately sponsored". people/companies pay for petrol in order to have the police patrol their area more frequently.

Any idea of who the people are and where the frequent patrols will be?

i was talking about general situation, not this particular project. if the police is patrolling with MOPC then some cars may cruise that road back and forth and some may be parked in certain areas such as villages or crossroads. phone number for asistencia vial is 829 688 1000.

My Dominican wife says they put the emergency lights on so people know they are working.
