The reinforcement of these preventive controls for road safety has allowed the location and identification of three drivers for lacking a driver's license.
From the City Council they point out that the Local Police of Arrecife, under the direct direction of the mayor, Yonathan de León, is reinforcing during this new 2025 the preventive controls in sensitive areas and nightlife areas.
During the past year, the Local Police intensified its presence in the neighborhoods of Arrecife, with camouflaged cars and police without uniforms, to control the sensitive areas and avoid the presence of "dealers". Specifically, the agents reinforced the surveillance for the protection of minors.
