Police to get 30% wage increase in January 2021

Minister of Interior & Police Jesús (Chu) Vásquez says the government will announce a 30% increase in wages for the Police in January 2021. Speaking on the “Esta Noche con Mariasela” TV show he spoke of other ways the Abinader administration is enacting to improve the police’s finances. The pluses include that police are now being allowed to ride for free on Santo Domingo Metro, the Santo Domingo skylift and Omsa buses.

Vásquez also spoke of the new food program recently signed with the government Inespre food agency. Inespre will be operating one Saturday a month at Police headquarters where police may purchase basic food products at extra low prices.

Likewise, Vasquez says that 1,000 new apartments are being made available for persons in the police force.

“We want the family of the police to be proud their parents work in the service,” he said when interviewed on Esta Noche con Mariasela.
