Proactive policing yielding results
A series of new measures are being implemented to address youth delinquency and violence among minors.
Trained male and female police officers are conducting proactive policing activities in neighborhoods, public squares and other areas where young people congregate and where incidents have been reported.
In July 15-21, these efforts resulted in 5,969 individual checks, 213 detentions, 136 arrests and 216 confirmed violations.
Targeted police operations are also continuing to tackle adult criminality.
