Police directors ceased to be the voice of the institution

The role of the Dominican Republic's National Police directors as the primary public spokespeople for the institution has undergone a significant shift. Historically, these officials were the central figures responsible for addressing the media regarding police operations, homicide investigations, internal decisions, and the conduct of their agents.

This established communication dynamic has changed during recent presidential administrations. The transition marks a departure from the traditional practice where the director served as the direct voice of the institution to the public.
