25 de Diciembre residents ask for a patrol vehicle for their police post

Residents of San Isidro colony in 25 de Diciembre are asking the National Police for a patrol vehicle, saying the community’s police post cannot adequately cover the area with only one motorcycle.

The motorcycle is used for officers’ patrols, but residents say it cannot reach many places, particularly during the rainy season. They are urging police headquarters to provide the unit with a well-maintained pickup truck.

Darío Larroza, president of the community’s Development Commission, said a patrol vehicle is essential in a community of about 2,000 people. He said it would serve not only security needs but also emergencies, including transporting sick people to healthcare centers.

Residents said the Police Post No. 9 building remains in good condition and has six officers assigned by the National Police Directorate in San Pedro. The unit is led by Commissioner Eladio Martínez.

Martínez said police headquarters had ordered equipment for all police facilities. The plan includes improvements to buildings, patrol vehicles, weapons and sufficient staffing. He added that his department is collecting information on each police facility and gradually submitting it to headquarters.

A patrol vehicle is fundamental, not only for security, but also for other emergency situations, such as transporting sick people to healthcare centers.
