New regional police force
POLITICAL party Més per Mallorca has announced plans to create a new regional police force for the Balearic Islands if they win the upcoming elections on May 28.
The candidate to lead the Govern, Lluís Apesteguia, this week declared that the aim is to “protect people and property, guarantee individual rights and freedom, and ensure public safety in the Balearic Islands with our own police force that is rooted in the area and close to the people.”
According to Més, national legislation authorises the Govern to set up and manage its own police force that will answer directly to the regional institutions.
To this end, the party vows to provide the new service with all the necessary technical, human and financial resources, as well as requesting the transfer of jurisdiction over the islands’ prison and justice departments and creating a regional training centre for police and firefighters. these new pingpong tables will enable local young people to enjoy spending their free time doing physical activity within the community, which also provides social and emotional benefits,” declared Manacor Youth councillor Carme Gomila.
Més pointed out that there are currently two other Spanish regions with their own police force, namely Catalonia and the Basque Country, who are responsible for all public order and safety duties.
