The impression I have from some is that you are best served by providing for your own security and if you own a lot that might entail hiring a private security force or forming one of your own.

Squatters

usembassy.or.cr

The greatest potential danger for land ownership in absentia and at times even when the landowner resides on the property is
the problem of squatters. Before investing in large expanses of land or even a cottage, or a quinta in the countryside,
knowledge of the legal procedures along with due diligence is necessary to maintain one's property rights. Written into the Civil
Code (hereafter referred to as 'CC') are numerous passages that deal with the rights of possession that are reminiscent of the
earlier days of agricultural reforrn. Such clauses tend to favor the small, poor land-holder by upholding de facto "squatters
rights" (CC Titulo II, Capítulo II).

Well, as best I know there is no Military. There are quite a number of Police, I suspect only on a local level however. And I found that Costa Rica was quite civilized, somewhat poor, and quite a friendly nation. Much more friendly than ours!
