CANADIAN MOUNTIES HELP DOMINICAN DRUG COPS SOLVE COMPLEX CASES

SANTO DOMINGO. - The National Drugs Control Agency (DNCD) on Monday 
graduated a technical team to investigate complex cases, trained by 
the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Canada ambassador Georges Boisse, who attended the graduation, 
congratulated the DNCD for its actions against international drug trafficking.

The diplomat stressed the importance of the exchange between the two 
countries for the training of personnel. "In the three months I've 
been in the Dominican Republic I often see in newspapers the large 
quantities of drugs that this institution confiscates and the drug 
traffickers it arrests."

"This country is a close friend of Canada and it hurts to see the 
phenomenon of violence, so we try to see how we can help them," said 
Boisse, noting that Dominican Republic is quiet and peaceful, as 
evidenced by the large number of Canadian tourists who plan their 
holidays here.

Speaking for DNCD president Rolando Rosado, Joint Coordination and 
Information Center (CICC) director Valentin Rosado Vicioso thanked 
Boisse for Canada's cooperation and urged the graduates to apply the 
knowledge in favor of the population.
