Havana Province, Cuba. – This province of Cuban West is getting ready for the XXIV National Surveillance Exercise, organized every year by the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR). Public activities will simultaneously take place from December 16 to 19 in the 19 municipalities.

Enrique Urbino Gonzalez, member of the provincial secretariat of this mass organization elaborated on some of the objectives for this occasion. Concrete actions will be taken in the areas with more troubles to organize the night watch. The relentless struggle against social indiscipline will increase and the links between local institutions and the neighborhoods will be strengthened.

The National Police (PNR) and Cuban Telecommunications Company (ETECSA) will be involved in the exercise. In addition, 197 detachments of People’s Revolutionary Surveillance will be activated, as well as 27 “Looking at the Sea” coastal detachments. The latter are scattered in 8 municipalities of Havana Province.

The provincial secretary for surveillance also reported that the CDRs thwarted 68 crimes during 2009. People’s massive participation, in coordination with the PNR, helped clearing up more than 70 aborted crimes.

Güines, Caimito, Santa Cruz del Norte, Batabano, San Jose de las Lajas, Madruga and Alquizar are the municipalities with more flaws in the struggle against misdemeanors in public telephones.
