10 weekend killings send “streets are ours"  message

streets-are-gours.jpg

Daylight killings on Panama streets raise concerns

Posted 27/08/2019

Common crime killed 10 people this weekend. It seems that the perpetrators have sent a message to authorities and citizens: the streets are ours. Meanwhile, in the National Police they change the name of the police units in charge of repressing crime. Each director who has had the entity has its very personal booklet to do things, believing that only with it citizen security will improve. Nothing is worse than believing you own a single solution, because security problems are entangled and it is not repression that alone will solve them. If this issue is not addressed in all its complexity, we will witness the failure, again and again, because only one of its multiple components is addressed. What do the other actors do, starting with parents and home, going through schools, government policies on these issues? This without counting on the sad role played by the Judiciary, whose sentences are an invitation to a Persian market in which custom rulings can be obtained. The security of the country is something that concerns all citizens and not just an institution. – LA PRENSA August 27

New anti-crime strike force unveiled after 48-hour blood bath

blood-bath.jpg

Posted 27/08/2019

National Police Director Jorge Miranda, who took over the post on July 4  has created a special team labeled “Alpha Force” to combat Panama’s surging crime rate which saw 10 people killed on the weekend and daily assassinations, sometimes in broad daylight in front of public onlookers. To the  deaths are added robberies, thefts, stabbings street quarrels, and domestic violence

“It is the restructuring of our resources to face what has been seen in recent days. There are several things to adjust within the service and Alfa intends to integrate our resources, in order to target the sectors, areas, and people who are engaged in this type of activity, ” said Miranda.

One of the weekend victims was an eight-year-old girl first grader at Fe y Alegría School, who dreamed of being a teacher was caught in the middle of crossfire in a war between gangs in Curundú, where she lived with her family. Two bullets penetrated her head. In the same incident, a 24-year-old also died in a hail of bullets

The residents of Curundú, where at least 20,000 people live, , conducted a peaceful march on Monday afternoon to demand security. The protest involved the family members of the girl and those of other victims of violence in the area.

The "Alpha Force", according to Miranda, will have the support of other security forces and the community itself. “The consequence of what we are seeing now, is not that it went from a month to here. It is the result of some things that were not working and that we have the obligation to order, ”said Miranda

The new security authorities, commanded by minister of the branch, Rolando Mirones , dismantled the so-called Eagle Force, created by the government of Juan Carlos Varela , a security squad that, like Alpa, brought together personnel from organizations such as the National Borders System,  the National Aeronaval Service,and  the Institutional Protection System, among others.

"We do not have a magic wand to end the situation that is taking place as a result of drug seizures, quarrels of gang members ... We are not going to negotiate with any ringleader of any band. We are not going to negotiate with any boss, ”Miranda told reporters on Monday after the citizens complained about the violent events that shook the country the weekend.

Miranda said that on the weekend they arrested 272 suspects and removed  20 firearms from the streets.

He also showed an intelligent vehicle, called Panther, which seeks to establish an internal communications control network for the police.

Criminal lawyer Orlando Castillo, says " the issue of citizen insecurity has a drag of decades. “It requires a comprehensive approach, which includes the preventive aspect. Repressive approaches have been inefficient. A change of strategy is required, ”he added.

Fighting crime wave with flawed judges

Posted 03/09/2019

The Minister of Security has revealed the intention of the government of President Laurentino Cortizo to seek a modification to the Criminal Procedure Code to update the capacity of the State to face the crime wave that plagues the country. Although this legal instrument has significant shortcomings, the situation of justice in the country shows systemic failures.

Thus, Panama has interim and trial judges that are interim, appointed without adequate training or supervision for the positions they hold. Similarly, the judges ignore legal norms or disregard common sense and the criteria of reason. However, the fight against crime requires a larger budget for investigators, prosecutors, and courts, which, at the same time, with remediation of corruption in the justice system, can offer the country the certainty of the punishment of the culprits, and the effective defense of society. Not the contrary, LA PRENSA, Sep.3

Panama Police  operations said  outdated as violence spread

cops.png

Posted 26/12/2019

As violence continues to spread on the  streets of Panama  including at least five homicides on Christmas Day, lawyer and retired military officer Edgardo Falcón Díaz, told TVN  that the National Police is   70 years out of date  and the force needs to follow Colombia’s example and modernize  its strategies

Falcón Díaz said police officers must be able to deal with all types of cases, between criminal and traffic events and that there is no division in these types of functions because that makes the system dysfunctional.

He recognizes that there has been progress in the use of technology, with the implementation of a  camera surveillance system and with the expansion made by the current administration, but emphasizes that all this will not help if there is no reform in the operation methods. The provision of optimal resources so that agents can give prompt attention to criminal acts is another aspect that must be improved by the authorities, said the policing expert.
