Don Miguel Beach safety

ELCHE City Council has deployed a total of 40 officers on the beaches of Elche’s coastline to ensure safety and coexistence in the new summer season.

The mayor, Pablo Ruz, thanked all the officers who make up the Local Police for their professionalism, involvement and commitment to the municipality. “A team of which we are extremely proud, we have the best Local Police in Spain,” said Ruz.

The operation will consist of a maritime unit, the GRUMAT, with 16 officers, an aerial resources unit, mainly drones and two pilots, two canine guides and 22 officers from the Territorial Community Police Unit.

“These 22 officers are the most important service, they generate certainty,” confirmed the mayor. “Likewise, 100 per cent of the officers will be on duty at the busiest times of the day, when there is a greater police presence.”

Pablo Ruz highlighted the bicycle service, with Elche being the second place in the world to adopt this security assistance, after the beaches of Miami in the USA.
