More Cops On Costa Rican
Streets
At least that is what the
presidential candidates are
promising, more vigilance by
police. All the candidates have
jumped on the bandwagon,
promising citizens more personal
security.
The numbers tell the story.
Costa Rica's population has
grown by 83% over the past 20
years, while the country's
police force has grown only 13%.
Presidential candidates are also
promising to beef up prison
sentences and unite the various
police forces - Fuerza Pública,
Policia Municipal, OIJ, etc - so
that Costa Ricans can feel more
secure.
The presidential election is
less than a month away.
