SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Oct. 13 (EUROPE PRESS) –
The Government of the Canary Islands, through the Ministry of Public Administrations, Justice and Security, plans to increase the number of members of the Autonomous Police to almost 300 agents in order to be able to claim complementary funding from the State Government for the Corps.
In the press conference after the Governing Council, the spokesman for the Canarian Executive and also the director responsible for the area, Julio Pérez, indicated that there are currently 220 officers and a selective process is underway for the incorporation of 70 more agents.
With which, as Pérez explained, “we would be on the verge of 300 agents, a figure from which we would start up the co-financing mechanism as it exists in other autonomous communities.”
The spokesman wanted to recall that the Canarian Police “does not aspire to displace” the other bodies and security forces, insofar as it is “a police specialized in the specific functions assigned to it by Law, that is, protection of the environment, control of compliance with health legislation, citizen security, protection of buildings and minors’ policy”.
