The refurbishment works of the Francisco Méndez civic center in the San Cristóbal de Lorca neighborhood to convert part of its facilities into the headquarters of the Local Police have entered the final stretch. It is expected that the work on the building located in the Curtidores square will end in mid-December and it will be equipped with the necessary furniture so that it will be operational at the beginning of 2023 with around thirty agents. It was announced this Friday by the mayor, Diego José Mateos, who together with the Councilor for Security, José Luis Ruiz, police officers and residents of the neighborhood supervised the progress of the works.
After completing the remodeling of the basement for parking police vehicles and equipping it with changing rooms and a gun rack with a budget of 70,000 euros, now the second phase work, which will cost 120,000 euros, is focused on an area of 230 square meters of the floors down and first. An independent access door will be created from that of the civic center, which will maintain its usual activity as a Department for the Elderly and headquarters of other groups, and offices and customer service offices will be set up.
Now the spaces in which the Citizen Security Intervention Group (GISC), the Local Protection and Attention to Women Unit (UPLAM), the Tutor Police and the motorcyclist brigade will be located, which will be assigned to this police station, are defined. permanently with the corresponding controls and from where the agents will start the service every day.
The barracks will cover the needs of the residents of the San Cristóbal neighborhood, the most populous in the city where more than 12,000 people reside, but also from San Diego, Apolonia, Los Angeles, Avenida de Europa and Río deputation, Mateos said.
Mateos recalled that carrying out this project has been a “commitment” of the PSOE with the residents since his time in the opposition but “we have had many budgetary difficulties to be able to execute it.” Its implementation will serve for a “better distribution of patrols” and will result in “greater presence” and “immediacy” of the agents in the neighborhood because “they will be circulating through its streets.” There will be “greater closeness with citizens,” added the Councilor for Security.
Vox Concentration
The municipal group Vox will hold a rally today at 12 noon in the Plaza del Cristo de la Sangre in San Cristóbal to protest the proliferation of youth gangs that frighten residents, especially in that area of the city. It will be the second after the one carried out last Friday before the City Council. The mayor reiterated that “Lorca is” a safe city, official statistics say so, “and argued that” another thing is that there are political parties that want to create the feeling of insecurity that does not exist.
