**75 Municipal Police Officers to Guard Prisons in Panama City**
A decision announced by the municipal government of Panama City will see 75 officers from the city’s Municipal Police assigned to guard state prisons. The move, made by the administration of Mayor Mayer Mizrachi, follows a period of scrutiny over the municipal police force by national authorities.
The municipal police, which has faced criticism from President José Raúl Mulino and Public Security Minister Frank Ábrego, has reportedly secured support from the national cabinet for the new custodial role. The assignment is intended to strengthen prison security and support the national penitentiary system.
No further details on the specific prisons or the duration of the assignment have been released at this time.
