Yealndra Sánchez points out critical weaknesses in anti-crime intelligence in the DR
During her participation in the RD Debate space, expert Yealndra Sánchez presented a forceful position on the challenges facing the Dominican Republic regarding citizen security. According to Sánchez, the Dominican State shows significant deficiencies in the management of criminal intelligence, a fundamental pillar for the fight against modern criminality.
The first failure of the Dominican State lies in criminal intelligence.

Sánchez detailed that, although the competent authorities constantly collect citizen reports and complaints, there is a significant operational gap when it comes to processing this information. The specialist emphasized that receiving data is not enough if it is not transformed into strategic intelligence capable of dismantling gangs and reducing insecurity rates.
The importance of preventive intelligence
For the panelist, the solution lies in a paradigm shift towards the systematization of information. Her proposal is based on several key points to optimize national security:
- Implement systematic data collection to detect criminal patterns.
- Analyze the dynamics and behavior of criminal groups in depth.
- Develop anticipation tools to prevent crimes before they are executed.
This analysis joins the voices advocating for a transformation in state strategies, moving from a reactive model to one of proactive prevention. The ability to anticipate criminal activity is, for Sánchez, the most effective tool the country could have to guarantee the order and tranquility of its citizens.
