Beginning Sept. 1, 80 police officers will be patrolling downtown San José to provide protection for tourists in the heart of the city, for people on their way home from work, or for those who want to do errands or enjoy a little of the city’s nightlife.
In effect Monday to Thursday from 5 to 10 p.m. and during extended weekend hours, the policing measure is part of “ San José, Security and Leisure,” a joint program of the Public Security Ministry, the Culture Ministry and the San José Municipality.
The program will focus on the area between Calles 2 and 23, from Avenidas 2 to 10 on the south side of the city and Avenidas 9 to 15 on the north side. Tourists sitting on the balconies of their hotels or out around the Plaza de la Cultura and nearby casinos, as well as those in the area of the refurbished La Aduana arts complex, will have late-night protection on weekends stretching from 5 p.m. to midnight Fridays, 9 a.m. to midnight Saturdays, and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays.
