Police take control of drug control
Guzman Fermin launches hard warnings to drug traffickers

SANTO DOMINGO.- With the designation of General Rolando Rosado Mateo of the National Police to head the National Department of Drug Control (DNCD), the National Police now becomes the only unit to pursue crimes such as assaults, robberies, homicides and drug trafficking.
This is the third time a member of the National Police leads the DNCD, the first was Major General Rafael Guerrero Peralta from 1988 to 1992, and then came Jose Ramon Paulino from 1992 to 1993, and now Rosado Mateo.
For people who understand how these things work, the Police are now seen to have total control to combat organized crime and drug trafficking, and in fact now the very chief of police, Rafael Guillermo Guzman Fermin launched a serious threat to the drug dealers when yesterday he warned the drug traffickers that they only have three options: "get out of the country, stop what they are doing or be sent to prison."
The police chief advanced the notion that between the Police, the Armed Forces and the DNCD there will be a tightly coordinated relationship to put in check the drug traffickers and especially aimed at eradicating the sales points in the barrios and communities.
"There will be no truce against the micro-traffic. May the delinquents that dedicate themselves to these criminal activities that cause so much damage to the youth and adolescents know this well." "Now the Police has the opportunity to control narcotics in the country", said sociologist Mario Malone.
This is so because nearly two years ago the Police Anti-narcotics Department was formed, and its chief was Ramon Francisco Rodriguez Sanchez, who, just like Rosado Mateo is a man who enjoys the absolute confidence of the chief of police.
Rosado Mateo is known as a hard-handed policeman, including his own classmates. He was director of Human Resources of the Police and before being appointed to the DNCD he was the director of the Preventive Police, among other important jobs.
