Keith Woolford Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) At this moment, Lynx officers are out and about in Chiriqui rounding up individuals with outstanding warrants. Hopefully the mutts will stay detained. Edited January 24, 2018 by Keith Woolford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Doug Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) I've never heard of Lynx officers. If you know, are they a branch of the Policia Nacional, or an entirely different entity?

If you know, are they a branch of the Policia Nacional, or an entirely different entity? Lynx officers, or Linces, are the two person teams on dirt bikes carrying an AK-47 or equivalent plus a variety of other lethal weapons. Apart from patrolling the streets and providing support in dangerous arrests, Linces are the official first responders to crimes in progress. These are front line people.

Uncle Doug Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I've seen them occasionally around Boquete, especially during the recent fair. Thanks for sharing that knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcelyn Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 We witnessed these officers “chasing “ a delivery truck driver and then placing handcuffs on this man. Happened last week in downtown Boquete. Situation looked serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundageba Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 We have the imprint of two of them and their motorcycle on the rear quarter panel of our pickup. They were following too close when Bill made a left turn and they plowed into the truck. Amazing control. They never hit the ground...nor did they get hurt. Truck?...eh, memories. We painted the nicks and left the dent. Both Bill and the officers decided they were equally at fault,shook hands and parted ways. ( Bill should have signaled sooner...it was a California turn, Panama style. Signal as you make the turn) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
