Policemen and Justice Department prosecutors are to be trained by professors from the University of New York’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice. According to Diario Libre, the training will include criminal investigation, executive leadership, crime mapping, crime data collection, records maintenance and management, prevention of crime and forensic sciences. The university has also agreed to improve the Police Academy curriculum and to set up a Criminal Justice Institute in the DR. Interior and Police Minister Franklin Almeyda Rancier signed a memorandum of understanding yesterday with the president of NYU, Jeremy Travis. Almeyda said NYU was selected because it is the most qualified in the world in police training. The center has a student population of 10,000 of which 2,000 are of Dominican origin.
