Police Commander Reminds of 1 to 3 Years of Imprisonment for Breaking Curfew

The Police Commander Pablo Dávila announced that operational capacity is at 100% in four subzones enforcing a curfew starting at 11 PM.

Pablo Dávila, the Police Commander, stated that police forces are fully prepared to enforce a curfew beginning at 11 PM across four subzones including Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, Los Ríos, Guayas, and El Oro. He emphasized that their operational readiness has been coordinated with various institutions such as the Prosecutor's Office and the Ministry of Public Health to ensure the effectiveness of the curfew enforcement.

Dávila highlighted the collaboration among the police's three subsystems: preventive, investigative, and intelligence, which have specific objectives to accomplish during the 15 days of enforced curfew. This proactive approach aims to ensure public safety and compliance with the new regulations. The presence of a general leading operations in these subzones aims to streamline this coordination and enhance law enforcement effectiveness.

The strict measures, including potential penalties of 1 to 3 years in prison for those who violate the curfew, reflect the government's effort to maintain order. The mention of increased readiness and inter-institutional cooperation underscores the government's strategy to combat crime and ensure that citizens adhere to the established safety measures during this pivotal period.
