Keith Woolford Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Barrios Seguros Tightens Up says Enrique Arrocha The directors of the Program Safe Neighborhoods in the province of Chiriqui, announced that they will increase compliance controls for people of social risk by gang members, to be most effective. In the middle of the payment of bonuses to the beneficiaries of the program in David; Barrios Seguros in this province, Enrique Arrocha, assured that the project has been good, because it has brought more than 300 gang members out of that world, achieved places of work for 30 people and are waiting to integrate into this system other another 40. He added that in the coming weeks agents of the "Joint Task Force Eagle" shall be operating in the most "red' sectors of Chiriqui, to look for and capture potential gang members who have not wanted to enter the program, for trial. They have had the opportunity to enter the program so that they would have a better life and by using this tool that was given to them by the State and society, but if they choose to follow in this world of crime, then they must face justice, assured Arrocha. http://www.tvn-2.com/nacionales/provincias/Incrementaran-cumplimiento-Barrios-Seguros-Chiriqui-programa_0_4740275963.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 First I've heard of Barrios Seguros. I read the news article that was referenced, and it seems promising. Would like to know more about the project. Where can one learn more? Just curious if anyone knows where the "...'red' sectors..." in Chiriqui are located, and not sure what "judicialize" might mean.

Las Lomas and Pedregal around David are definitely Red zones. Judicialize? I took it to mean being 'handled by the justice system'.

Thanks for posting this. Haven't found anything concrete yet outside of Panama City, Bud. http://www.tvn-2.com/nacionales/seguridad/Zonas-peligrosas-ciudad-capital-Inseguridad-Panama-Noticias_0_4601539906.html And not everyone is sold on the progress being reported with the anti-gang efforts. This article from La Estrella in October last year questions the expenditures and the reported results. http://laestrella.com.pa/panama/nacional/barrios-seguros-tenido-costo-10-millones/23981058 I'll keep looking a little later, right now the grandkids are here. jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
