The mayor recalled the special year that the Corps is celebrating in our city on the occasion of the 200th anniversary, “because it was the year of the change of police station, because all of you as a security force already belong to the brotherhood of the Order of the Saint I vote, and because all this has meant that we always remember your figure and work for society, through the roundabout that we have built in front of the new police station.”
Ruiz, in addition to underlining the importance of the 200th anniversary of the National Police Corps, has also highlighted the “crucial” work of the person who has been the chief commissioner since February -Julián Maroto- of the Puertollan police station: “He has shown a extraordinary leadership and has adapted like any other Puertollanero.”
For his part, Chief Commissioner Julián Maroto has linked the origin and evolution of the Fuente Agria de Puertollano “singular, bubbling, tireless, with strength and determination of iron” with the 200 years of adaptation and growth since the founding of the Police national.
“Citizens of Puertollano, here you have your national police officers who will help whoever needs it, arrest the criminal and, if necessary, risk their lives in the performance of their duty,” stated Maroto. The Commissioner offered the services of the new Police Station’s offices “which are awaiting their prompt inauguration” and before cheering on the King and Spain, he concluded his speech by insisting that the National Police are “true builders of those who others started, tomorrow we will be foundations from which others will continue to build.”
