Banco Popular donated jet skis and motorboats worth US$70,000 to Politur, the tourism police, to be used for patrolling the Malec?n in Santo Domingo, and the Boca Chica, La Romana and Bayahibe beaches. The equipment will be initiated at the sailing events in Boca Chica and rowing events at the Rincon dam during the Pan Am Games. Thirty Politur agents received specialized training for six months to offer the service.
