That has been the great transition of the police, the role of the police today is not to repress, but to guarantee the safety of citizens,” Fernández said during an act of swearing in hundreds of Dominican sports actors.
Speaking about the pillars of the plan to combat crime established by the Ministry of the Interior and Police, the former president specified that “the issue here is prevention, prevention is scientifically combated, very well, with technology, I think it is going well in that direction, but how to create, establish the geography of crime. Crime is not committed the same everywhere, it occurs where there is a greater population presence, where a greater number of people live.
