The municipal
standards to
improve behavior
of the caleños are
not seriously for
someone, because
it is ignore,
although
somebody don’t
really know.
Despite of police
efforts in all of
city, so many
people ignore the
law, but if really
were met, Cali
would return to
be a friendly city.
One of the rules
is to ban sell and
consume liquor in
public sites like a
parks, streets,
vias (Order 0352
of June 26th
2007)
that norm is the
must break for
the citizen,
according
Secretaria de
Gobierno.
El Parque del
Perro and la Loma
de la Cruz are the
favorite places to
break this norm.

2. Smoke indoors
like clubs or
exceed
“zanahoria law”
are standards
that are met
halfway,
especially the last
one. In the other
hand respect the
noise levels in
residential and
commercial zones
are break to.
The punishments
to the offenders
are fines that can
be until $930.000
or social work.
However a police
effort, a fine or
pedagogical day
doesn’t work.
On the street the
people still
“rumbeando” the law
Although the
Order 0352 of
June 2007 to
prohibits consume
of liquor in public
sites, the
Secretaria de
Gobierno reports
in each one of
police efforts
between 20 y 50
offenders, with
tending to
increase in
weekends with
holiday Monday.
According to
Fortunato Garcia,
sub secretary of
the Police and
Justice say “every
week check
places like Parque
del Perro, Loma
de la Cruz, El
Peñon, El Ingenio
and San Antonio
were the
concentration of
offenders is to
high”.
Young university
people fail the
norm in a 90%
The 93% of
young people
don’t have Money
to pay the fine, so
given the
opportunity to
provide social
work.
With pedagogical
courses an social
activities, the
Secretaria de
Gobierno and the
Police find to
raise conscience
in the caleños to
meet the
standard and
contribute to
safety.
