Dominican Republic. Defense Minister Lt. Gen. Máximo Williams Muñoz Delgado added drones to the Dominican Republic's border surveillance.
These are aerial surveillance equipment equipped with state-of-the-art technology to monitor areas where the difficulties of the terrain prevent the arrival of vehicles, he said.
In tests carried out yesterday, several undocumented immigrants previously captured by the cameras of the drones when they tried to penetrate the national territory were arrested, it transpired.
As he explained, in this first stage four drones work, out of a total of 16 that will operate along the border strip and have a total cost of 850 thousand pesos (about 20 thousand dollars).
The director of the Specialized Border and Land Security Corps (Cesfront), General Carlos Aguirre, described the new tools as valuable.
They will allow better work against illicit activities that occur at the border such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, smuggling and predation of natural resources, he said.
Along with the drones, trucks with technology to direct aerial surveillance teams, vans equipped with GPS and motorcycles were delivered to Cesfront to give more mobility to border guards.
