Welcome to Panama Guide Safety and SecurityThere are things you can do while living in the Republic of Panama to increase your personal level of safety and security. Most of these things are common sense but some of them are specific to Panama. While the person ultimately responsible for any crime is the criminal, most victims of crime have opportunities to take actions that will mitigate or reduce their chances of becoming a victim of violent crime. Most newly arriving expatriates are faced with the challenges of overcoming cultural and language barriers. Panama is relatively safe compared to other large cities in the United States and throughout Latin America - there is no reason to live in fear or to be afraid of visiting or living in Panama. That having been said anyone with money might be targeted, gringo or otherwise. In this section of Panama-Guide.com you will find articles related to your personal safety and security and ways for you to remain safe. If you require additional information about this or any other category of information regarding the Republic of Panama please take advantage of our powerful in-house search engine.
