los monos

Slang used in the neighborhoods of Santo Domingo to refer to the police. It functions as a code word to tip off others about their presence without the officers noticing. (In the Dominican Republic, the term refers to the grey color of the National Police uniforms).

El Malcriao: Run, run, los monos are coming. Din la Para: Don't worry about it Malcriao, I have my piece right here. El Malcriao: Din, you know you have a criminal record, don't go acting like a fool.
