Websites for denouncing crime

In recent weeks, Police performance can be said to have been above average, with several major well-publicized drugs and arms confiscations. Now the Police has announced that citizens can use a new website for reporting crime anonymously. The website is www.dintel.gov.do/home.html and comes as part of the planned Police modernization program.

Last week the Fernandez administration also unveiled its www.311.gob.do website for citizens to report government corruption 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In contrast with the new Police site, the 311 website requires the person placing the complaint to provide their ‘cedula’ or foreign passport number.
