“With these stateoftheart bulletproof and antiknife vests it means that all the police officers have access to one at the VelezMalaga Police Headquarters.
“With these vests, the officers will not only enjoy more confidence in the performance of their duties, but they will also have real security against statistically increasing threats with bladed weapons,” the mayor added.
“In the meantime, procedures are in place to employ five new Local Police officers.”
The councillor for Culture, Manuel Lopez, confirmed the council’s commitment to bring all kinds of cultural proposals to the province, in addition to supporting flamenco festivals as a fundamental element of Andalucian culture.
