The year 2010 began with a rise in type 1 crimes (murder robberies, carjackings), leading the murder by family feuds and those related to the transfer of drugs and illegal weapons. In the first 14 days of 2010, there were 30 murders reported, an average of 15 per week. Because of this alarming crime wave, the Superintendent of police, José Figueroa Sancha met with his colonels, commanders and chiefs of the 13 police regions and specialized divisions to create a new anti-crime plan.
