Interviewed on the Hoy Mismo program, director of the National Drugs Control Agency (DNCD) agrees with the recommendation of the President's Advisor on Drugs, Marino Vincio Castillo (Vincho) taht suspicious aircraft violating Dominican airspace should be fired on.

He feels that measures that may be considered extreme and dangerous by some are necessary to protect the country against threats to national security such as drug trafficking and terrorism. He also feels that due to the anti-drugs summit recently held in the country that the amount of drugs entering the Dominican Republic may have dropped as much as 90% due to international cooperation.

Since the summit a coordinated effort between the United States Drug Enforcement Agency, the Coast Guard and Task Force Key West has seen helicopters, airplanes and radar working to stem the amount of drugs that enter the country. Before this it was impossible to protect against illegal flights from places such as South and Central America.
