Reporting A Crime
In the past year or so the police ( guardia ) presence in San Jose has increased dramatically. If you have anything stolen you will need to report it immediately to the nearest police post. In San Jose, the most convenient method is to head for the Organismo de Investigacion Judicial (tel 221-5337 or 221-1365) between Av 6 and 8 and C 15 and 19. In rural areas, go to the nearest guardia rural who will give you a report (you'll do better if you speak Spanish, or are with someone who does). Any tourist-related crime , such as overcharging, can be addressed to the ICT in San Jose.
