The National Police says it is ready to implement the program of patrolling by quadrants in the residential and commercial district, Polígono Central in time for the Christmas holidays. The program is scheduled to start on Friday, 2 December 2022 in the National District.
The Polígono Central is bordered by the Av. John F. Kennedy to the north, the Av. 27 de Febrero to the South, the Ortega y Gasset to the east and the Winston Churchill to the west.
The quadrant police surveillance system is intended to improve citizen security. The Polígono Central is the first to be divided in the blocks assigned to police agents that will be responsible for security and prosecuting crime in that geographic space. Every eight hours, shifts of 168 agents will be on patrol, Police General Juan Brown Perez announced.
The announcement was made in a meeting with media directors and the President Luis Abinader, Minister of Interior & Police, Police director Then and Administrative Minister of the Presidency Jose Ignacio Paliza and Presidency Minister Joel Santos at the Police headquarters in the National District.
A year ago, Police director Eduardo Alberto Then had made the announcement of the quadrant patrolling as part of efforts of the Abinader administration to increase security in Greater Santo Domingo.
