The director of the National Police, Major General Ramón Antonio Guzmán Peralta, assured today that In that institution there is no expression “put him down”, nor are there special commands to murder criminals.
However, he maintained that the baton is still the first tool that the police officer must use to confront crime and guarantee order in the streets and not the firearm.
The senior officer highlighted the profound transformation that the public order institution is experiencing. “We focus on crime and delinquency. Based on that focus, the institution has cutting-edge technology comparable to that of any police force in the world,” said Guzmán Peralta.

He added that more than 100 modern police stations have been built throughout the national territory, with decent conditions so that agents can spend the night and provide efficient service to the community.
Among the most notable advances, he mentioned the incorporation of a vehicle fleet never seen before in the Dominican Republic, as well as the use of technology based on artificial intelligence, which places the country at the level of the most advanced police forces in the world.
“We have all the tools needed to be efficient and provide a service that meets the circumstances.”
