Senator Guerrero said that the resignation of Major General Jos\u00e9 Eugenio Matos de la Cruz, from the DNCD was a responsible decision and suggested the director of the National Police should do the same. The resignation happened following the shooting of a police colonel at a drug sales point in Bani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guerrero went on to say that in his opinion the director of the Police is the main senior person responsible for the levels of violence increasing to levels never seen before. Guerrero has argued many times that drug trafficking operations are ongoing with the complicity of state security forces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, President Danilo Medina has appointed Vice Adminral F\u00e9lix Alburquerque Compr\u00e9s as the new president of the DNCD. It is not known why 56-year old Matos de la Cruz resigned, after only five months in charge of the DNCD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more in Spanish:<br><a href=\"http:\/\/eldia.com.do\/wilton-guerrero-dice-director-de-la-policia-nacional-debe-renunciar-al-cargo\/\">El&nbsp;Dia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>22 January 2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peravia province senator, Wilton Guerrero, has said that the director of the National Police, Ney Aldrin Bautista, should resign as the director of the National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) has done.
