In this way, a collaborative process begins in which, as on previous occasions, French, Italian, Portuguese and German troops will be destined in areas of great tourist influx of Spain during different time intervals.
During this summer, French agents will patrol the cities of Alicante, Benidorm, Granada, Madrid, Marbella and Santiago de Compostela. The Italians will be present in Alicante, Benidorm, Ibiza, Granada, Madrid and Santiago de Compostela. For their part, troops will arrive from Portugal who will provide security, together with the National Police, in the cities of Santiago de Compostela and Vigo, while the German policemen will go to Palma de Mallorca, Estepona and Malaga.
The European Police Stations Project began in 2008 in collaboration with France, expanding in 2012 with Portugal, with Italy in 2014 and with Germany in 2020, incorporating new trips every year due to the good reception both in Spain and abroad. This year will be the first to be held in the cities of Alicante, Estepona, Granada, Marbella and Vigo.
The French Police Nationale, the Italian Polizía di Stato and the Portuguese Polícia de Segurança Pública will coincide in the city of Santiago de Compostela at the same time, in order to carry out patrols made up of four nationalities. In other locations such as Madrid, Alicante, Benidorm or Granada, police from more than one of the participating countries will coincide, forming police groups of up to three different nationalities.
The functions of the police will be, among others, to carry out patrols, preferably on foot, but also by vehicle, in areas with a greater influx of tourists to prevent crime on public roads; make contact with citizens in general and, in particular, with tourists of their nationalities to assist them in translation work and, lastly, help and support citizen complaints, among others. In addition, the foreign policemen will patrol in their service uniform.
