[police] raids / operations [to arrest] Explanation: In my experience, Mexican usage of "dispositivo policiaco" is synonymous with "operativo" and either means a "police presence" or a "police raid". In this case I think it refers to an "operation" or "raid". You can find examples of this use below. Impide arrancones de medianoche dispositivo policiaco http://www.jornada.unam.mx/2002/05/07/037n2cap.php?printver=... 'Estuvo en la comandancia apoyando a las paisanas durante el dispositivo policiaco, en el cual fueron detenidas mujeres que sin permiso pedían, vendían o... https://books.google.com.mx/books?isbn=9707350458 Here it is clearly used a synonym of "operativo": Dispositivo policíaco en Durango deja dos muertos Gómez Palacio, Durango.- Un operativo de revisión y vigilancia que llevaron a cabo los policía de la Dirección Estatal de Investigación (DEI) tuvo un saldo de dos muertos, uno de ellos elemento policíaco y el otro un presunto delincuente, así como la detención de un individuo. http://www.lapoliciaca.com/nota-roja/dispositivo-policiaco-e... I would translate it either as: "Police mounted an operation to arrest "MS" and "18" gang members at various points in downtown Ahuachapán and in the El Refugio municipality." or using raid as a verb: "Police raided various points in downtown Ahuachapán and the El Refugio municipality to arrest members of the "MS" and "18" gangs and confiscate evidence linking them with crimes." |
