Police Complex Worth Nearly RD$56 Million Opens in Juan Dolio to Boost Security

A new police station and a renovated department are coming to Juan Dolio, backed by an investment of nearly RD$56 million. Here is what the complex includes.

The Provincial Development Directorate, led by José Andújar, opened a police complex in Juan Dolio, Guayacanes municipality, with an investment of RD$55,981,356. The project aims to strengthen public safety, improve working conditions for officers, and offer a more efficient response to the community.

The project has three parts: a new two-story police station, the comprehensive renovation of the Sgto. Roberto Mercedes Department, and a dining area for on-duty staff. In total, it will directly benefit 2,490 residents.

The new T3 Juan Dolio Police Station will have spaces for receiving complaints, criminal investigations, and specialized family services, along with administrative offices, a meeting room, dormitories for officers, and separate cells for men and women. According to the institution, these facilities will allow operations to be better organized and residents to be served more promptly.

The renovation of the Sgto. Roberto Mercedes Department included upgrades to electrical and sanitary systems, floors, doors, windows, and roofs. The site has eight administrative offices, space for the Central Investigation Directorate (Dicrim) and the General Directorate of Traffic and Land Transport Safety (Digesett), five dormitories, bathrooms, and equipped cells. Outside, sidewalks, curbs, a perimeter fence, and an asphalt parking lot for 41 vehicles were built.

The complex also includes an equipped kitchen and a furnished dining room, designed to improve meals and rest for police personnel, according to the institution.

The project is part of the institution's initiatives to improve public service infrastructure across the national territory.
