President Danilo Medina announced that the security forces have compiled a central database with the records of delinquents and criminals as a way to combat crime. He said the data will be accessible to all security forces to facilitate investigations. He said the system is already in beta phase. “It will be the most advanced, complete and functional we have had,” he said in his 27 February 2018 state of the nation address.
He also said that the 911 Emergency System this 2018 would be extended to San Pedro de Macorís, La Romana, Peravia, Monseñor Nouel, La Altagracia, Monte Plata and Samaná. After its start in Santo Domingo in 2017, the service was extended to urban areas in Santiago, Puerto Plata, La Vega and Espaillat provinces.
