Sosúa police station​

Sosúa still has no police station, only a small temporary office on Pedro Clisante street.​

And it doesn't get any better now that EDENORTE, the electricity company, has cut off the power supply to the office. The closure is causing surprise and outrage in the community, reported Ángel, a representative of the Dominican Committee for Human Rights in the municipality of Sosúa and the province of Puerto Plata. The facilities of the National Police Departmental Command and the DICRIM Unit, in the El Batey district, are now without power. The building houses not only the administrative offices, but also the dormitories for police officers from other provinces. The lack of electricity therefore constitutes a serious attack on the dignity and minimum working conditions of security personnel. Ángel described the situation as 'scandalous for Dominican society and for the municipality of Sosúa' and called on the competent authorities to investigate the matter and take measures to prevent a similar incident from happening again.​

What happened to that big new police station they built just a few years ago in Calle Dr Alejo Martinez?

Poor Sosua.
So much potential yet so dysfunctional.

What happened to that big new police station they built just a few years ago in Calle Dr Alejo Martinez?

They never built a new station on Alejo. They moved into an empty building on that street and vacated it about 8 months ago. They have been building a new station next to Playero for the past 5 years. It's partly finished, and they are sort of doing business there as well as the station on Pedro Clisante.

They permeate the world. At least they're in charge.
