The initiative is part of the strategy to fight transnational organized crime and other illicit activities such as drug trafficking, illegal trade, money laundering and human trafficking.

Minister of Interior and Police Chief Jesús Vázquez Martínez, and the president of Crime Stoppers, Alejandro Javier Campos, signed the understanding agreement at the Interior and Police headquarters.

On the occasion, Martinez stressed the importance of promoting joint collaboration, recognizing that it constitutes one of the most effective mechanisms to stimulate citizen tranquility in the country.

During the five years of the contract – which may be extended – coordinated activities will be developed to enable the organization to contribute to public security policies in the Dominican State, within the framework of the regulations in force and in compliance with human rights.
