Tourism Police
The National Police force maintained a special unit to police the airports and tourism areas in Dominican Republic then in 1975 due to the popularity of tourism on the island and the crime that arose in the tourist areas the unit became a separate police force called "policia de tourismo" (tourism police). The Policia de tourismo was now a separate agency from the National Police and the officers wear white shirts, blue pants and blue caps.
