Giuliani says DR public safety is dysfunctional

Former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani says that the Dominican public safety system is dysfunctional and needs a complete restructuring. Speaking at the presentation of the public safety program requested by PRM presidential candidate Luis Abinader yesterday, Wednesday 27 April 2016, Giuliani said: “Corruption must be eliminated from the top to the bottom. If corruption is not eliminated from the top levels it cannot be eliminated from the lower levels.”

The former mayor said that a computer system was needed to collect the statistics and create a map where the police can see where the crimes are being committed.

He stated: “This country has too many crimes against women that are ignored and which should be changed with a specialized victims unit.” He said that the cause of death should only be established by a forensic pathologist, and that there should be drug tests for the police, as well as laws that ban arms from being owned by people with mental problems.

Giuliani underlined the need to create a DNA databank, citing as an example the fact that in the United States as many as 10% of the cases are solved using this system.

Guiliani was invited to visit and study Dominican security issues by PRM presidential candidate Luis Abinader.
