Spanish term

no es confiable y es lenta

Non-PRO Spanish to English Other International Org/Dev/Coop Situation report
Hola nuevamente,

Otra consulta:

Sobre la seguridad de extranjeros en el país, se deben tomar medidas para prevenir y mitigar incidentes, ya que estos podrían ser blanco de la delincuencia común, la cual ha ido en aumento desde inicio de la crisis. El índice de criminalidad aun es bajo en la región. La respuesta de las autoridades de seguridad no es confiable y es lenta.

Considerando el contexto, pienso que podría iniciar la oración de la siguiente forma:

"Response of law enforcers to committed crimes is...."

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
