Portuguese term or phrase: Dter
Appears in the context of local policing by the Guarda Nacional Republicana in Portugal. Seen on official forms issued by GNR offices, as in Dter Loulé, Dter Silves etc. Also in the following sentence from a contribution to the GNR Forum website: "Ja alquem aqui pensou no metodo de patrulhamento do Dter de Loulé?"
Does it refer to a geographical area, a unit in the local command structure, or a base like a barracks or local headquarters?
