I wonder is this has anything to do with it? Most of the armored car heist that have
taking place since I have living down here seem to involve the police (or former) at
some stage of the crime.

Low pay could spur Police officers to quit in droves
Santo Domingo.- Dominican Anticorruption Alliance (ADOCCO) coordinator
Julio Cesar Tiburcio on Wednesday predicted mass resignation of National Police
officers in the coming days, including some of higher ranks.
He said the resignations of judges will also take place, due to what he affirms are
poor working conditions. He denounced that civil society sectors want to control the
judicial branch, to replace the work of the judges. He didn’t specify which sectors
seek to supplant the State.
"We have reports that mass resignations of judges from various jurisdictions will
occur soon, who are burdened by the pressures that some sectors exert against
them, to which the precarious conditions in which they work must be added,
" the legal professional said, interviewed on Super Canal Caribe.
Tiburcio’s comments comes in the heels of the approval of the National Police
statutory law, which despite their extremely low wages, bans officers from holding
other jobs, except as teachers.
