New supermarket for policemen

The shop will sell only food at the beginning, but there are future plans for members of the National Police, the Institutional Protection, Air and Naval and Border Services to be able to buy furniture, electrical products and police equipment.

The cost of the supermarket was of $500,000 and the National Police director, Francisco Troya said that it was a step forward.

President Martin Torrijos said that the new supermarket and private hospitalization and life insurance was a way to compensate the police force for the long hours they work.

Over the next few days a clinic will provide medical services for the public forces and their families, with specialities such as cardiology, psychiatry and gynecology.
