There is a lot of work to do in regard to the police. I know in Guayacanes, young people are arrested on a regular basis for no reason other than the police want to show some muscle. It is clearly an abuse of power by the Juan Dolio police station. In the San Carlos neighbourhood Santo Domingo, a few minutes from El Conde, the heart of Zonas Colonial, there are at least three public crackhouses. All are located in the shadow of the National Police Station in same neighbourhood. Why are the police not closing these places ? You need to declare war on the HARD drug dealers such as cocaine & crack .You need the police to help the public – not the dealers.
