Excerpt: The Puerto Rico Police Department (Policía de Puerto Rico), better known in Puerto Rico as La Uniformada ("The Uniformed"), is the police force of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, with island-wide jurisdiction. The Uniformada is also one of two investigative arms of many of Puerto Rico's municipal police forces, the other one being the Puerto Rico Bureau of Special Investigations, a branch of the Department of Justice of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The headquarters of La Uniformada are located at the Cuartel General (General Station House), 101 Franklin D. Roosevelt Avenue, Hato Rey, Puerto Rico. Police Headquarters in the Hato Rey district of the City of San JuanIt traces back to 1837, when Spanish governor Francisco Javier de Moreda y Prieto created La Guardia Civil de Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico Civil Guard) to protect the lives and property of Puerto Ricans who at the time were Spanish subjects, and provide police services to the entire island, even though many municipalities maintain their own police force. The United States invaded and took possession of Puerto Rico in July 1898 as a result of the Spanish American War and has controlled the island as a US territory since then. The Insular Police of Porto Rico was created on February 21, 1899, by Col. Frank Thacher, (US Marine officer during the Spanish American War), with an authorized strength of 313 sworn officers. On March 21, 1937, more than 30 officers placed thems...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=6029607 ... Read more

Excerpt: The Puerto Rico Fire Department (Cuerpo de Bomberos de Puerto Rico) is the fire department for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and provides fire protection and other hazards. It was established in 1942 making it the younguest fire department on U.S. soil. The Puerto Rico Fire Department also functions as an assistance fire department for the San Juan, Carolina, and Mayagüez Fire Departments. In addition, it offers fire protection services to the Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport, Rafael Hernández Airport, and Mercedita Airport Fire Rescue Divisions. A separate agency, the Puerto Rico Medical Emergency Corps, provides emergency medical services to all Puerto Rico. Firefighters from Puerto Rico have their origins in the southern town of Ponce. In 1823, Spanish Governor Miguel De La Torre, became deeply concerned by a large fire that occurred in Ponce, on February 27, 1820. This fire almost destroyed the town. As a result it became mandatory for every male between 16 and 60 years to be a volunteer firefighter. Firefighters at this time had to provide their own fire-fighting tools such as picks, shovels, and buckets. Unfortunately, this first fire department saw its decline once Governor De La Torre left his post. Another major ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=23127801 ... Read more

Chapters: Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, List of Justices of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico by Court, Puerto Rico Bar Association. Excerpt:The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico is the highest court of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, having the ultimate judicial authority within Puerto Rico to interpret and decide questions of local commonwealth law. As the highest body of the judicial branch of the Puerto Rican government, it is analogous to one of the state supreme courts of the U.S. states. The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico holds its sessions in the city of San Juan. The Supreme Court Building is at the entrance of the city of San Juan.The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico was established by the Foraker Act in 1900 and maintained in the 1952 Constitution of Puerto Rico. It is the only appellate court required by the Constitution. All other courts are created by the Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico. However, since Puerto Rico is under United States sovereignty, there is also a Federal District Court for the island. The justices (currently seven) are appointed by the Governor of Puerto Rico and confirmed by majority vote by the Senate. One of these seven justices serves as Chief Justice; the remaining members are designated Associate Justices. Unlike the Supreme Court of the United States, the justices of the Puerto Rico Supreme Court do not serve for life, as the Puerto Rico Constitution requires that justices are obliged to retire upon reaching age 70. Although the Supreme Court was originally composed of five justices, the number was increased to seven during the 1960s. In the early 1970s, the number of justices was raised to nine, but it was reduced back to seven in 1976. The jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico is defined by the Constitu...

Excerpt:The Conservatory of Music of Puerto Rico (Spanish: Conservatorio de Música de Puerto Rico) is a public institution of higher learning located in San Juan , Puerto Rico . Its focus is on "the harmonious development of musicians in the fields of music interpretation and composition, jazz, and teaching." It has hosted a number of internationally renowned musicians as students as well as faculty, and has a longstanding relationship with the classical music movement in Puerto Rico, including the annual Casals Festival and the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra (PRSO). History Following the success of the Casals Festival held in San Juan in 1957, state legislator Ernesto Ramos Antonini proposed several laws which would create the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra that same year, and the Conservatory of Music in June 1959. The Conservatory was originally envisioned as a school for preparing musicians for the PRSO and for preparing music teachers for the state public education system. Throughout the years, however, the Conservatory has become a musical landmark in the Caribbean, providing advanced academic studies in various music areas to local students as well as international visitors. Since its inception, the Conservatory has been under the administration of several state government agencies, including the Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company ( Compañía de Fomento Económico ), the Administration for t... ...

Excerpt: This list of Governors of Puerto Rico (Spanish: ) includes all persons who have held that post, either under Spanish or American rule. The Governor of Puerto Rico is the Head of Government of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The position was first established by the Spanish Empire during the 16th century following the island's colonization. The first person to officially occupy the position was Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León on 1509. At the time, the Spanish monarchy was responsible for appointing the functionary who would perform this office. The first native Puerto Rican to perform the function was Juan Ponce de León II, as interim governor in 1579. During this administration, all of those appointed to take the position had served another function within the empire's government or the Roman Catholic Church. In 1898, the United States invaded Puerto Rico and the Spanish government ceded control of the island to the United States. During the first two years, the entire government in Puerto Rico was appointed by the President of the United States. In 1900, the American government approved the establishment of the Foraker Act as a federal law, this act established a civilian government in the island. In 1947, the federal Elective Governor Act was enacted, which created a new system where, since 1948, the governor is elected through a democratic process every four years. The governor is in charge of Puerto Rico's executive branch and is responsible for appointing executive branch agency heads, includ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=252515 ... Read more

Product Description
The Government of Puerto Rico is a republican form of government subject to U.S. jurisdiction and sovereignty. Its current powers are all delegated by the United States Congress and lack full protection under the United States Constitution. Puerto Rico's head of state is the President of the United States. The Government is composed of three branches: the executive, the legislative, and the judicial branches. The executive branch is headed by the Governor, currently Mr. Luis Fortuño. The legislative branch consists of a bicameral Legislative Assembly made up of a Senate upper chamber and a House of Representatives lower chamber. The Senate is headed by the President of the Senate, while the House of Representatives is headed by the Speaker of the House. The judicial branch is headed by the Chief Justice of the Puerto Rico Supreme Court. The legal system is a mix of the civil law and the common law systems. The governor and legislators are elected by popular vote every four years. Members of the Judicial branch are appointed by the governor with the "advice and consent" of the Senate. Gooseberry bushes produce an edible fruit and are grown on both a commercial and domestic basis ... Read more
