Due to Halloween celebrations, three thousand officers will guarantee security during this weekend and until November 1st.
Since some criminals take the opportunity to commit unlawful acts, it intensifies the work of the police.
The Ministry of Public Security (MPS) will have a special operation that will include more resources in several police regions to protect public order and prevent acts such as robbery, strikeouts, etc.
Authorities have set priority sites, where they will be working from 3:00 pm until the early morning. These places are night entertainment clubs, parks, banks, ATMs, bus stops, cemeteries and churches, shopping centers.
Some people might disguise to rob shops. As a result, owners must take security measures, such as refusing the entry to masked people.
In order not to be a victim of mobsters or violence, the Directorate of Operations of the Armed Forces from the MSP, offers the following tips:
-Do not allow children and adolescents to ask for sweets without the company of an adult.
-When children are in a group, identify their friends, because behind a costume, a criminal could hide.
-Do not let children play in dark areas such as parks, lots or corners of the neighborhood.
-Ask children not to receive candy from strangers.
-In case of an emergency, call 911 or the nearest police unit.
