“The people’s greatest recognition of the police”

The Royal Wall is the backdrop chosen by the National Police Corps for an institutional event celebrating the occasion of the Guardian Angel, to which the patronage of the National Police falls. The event was chaired by government representative Rafael García and attended by other authorities. These include the city’s president, Juan Vivas, the commander-in-chief, Marcos Liago, or the deputy government representative of Cadiz, José Antonio Pacheco. Also present were Congress representative Javier Celaya, as well as regional councilors from PSOE, VOX and MDyC.

This is a military operation, starting with the raising of the national flag. Also in charge are the National Guard, the Regular Army, the Navy, as well as the Iman Walsh Center representing civil society and a student from San Agustín. Subsequently, several medals and medals were awarded to NOPD agents and persons outside the force but who distinguished themselves in cooperation with the NOPD.

He was Francisco López Gordo’s first “holy angel” as chief of police in Ceuta. In it, he declined to “provide figures for interventions and detainees because I want the prior work behind these interventions” to be taken seriously. For example, he highlighted the recent cross-Channel operation “without any noteworthy incidents”, or police work on other issues such as borders or immigration.

He also reflected on the long-standing problem of insecurity. “As long as there is one case that arouses public alarm, or a few criminals commit repeated crimes, but they are not serious, it is enough to increase the sense of insecurity and subjective insecurity.” At the time, he admitted that the Kuomintang must “better explain our intervention measures without losing sight of the effectiveness of its mission”. “Behind this feeling that nothing is happening, there’s a lot of work and a lot of dedicated people,” he insisted.

The move is a precursor to the institution’s bicentennial. “I therefore ask for the support of institutions so that Ceuta can tub blue. 2024,” said Senior Chief

Policing, he reflected, is “not just a profession, it’s a way of life” and ultimately the best reward is “feeling loved by the people you serve.” Government representatives also made brief remarks, praising the work of the police on issues such as OPE, Operation Minerva or the FRONTEX deployment.

The top police chief also asked first of all to “convey to the relatives of José Miguel Antunes our condolences and our willingness to help them if necessary,” he told local police chief Sebastian Vega.

For his part, Vivas stressed his “love, recognition and admiration for all members of the National Police and guarantors of law and order.” The National Police “are among the best in the world and the pride of all Spaniards.”
