Guardia Civil to host security workshop for seniors in Santa Brígida

The San Mateo unit of the Guardia Civil will hold an information session at the Santa Brígida Senior Club on November 10. The event is part of the Ministry of the Interior’s Senior Security Plan, a coordinated initiative between the Guardia Civil and the National Police designed to reduce risks for individuals over the age of 65.

The session will focus on preventing various forms of fraud, including digital scams such as fraudulent text messages, bank impersonation calls, and false investment schemes. Additionally, authorities will provide guidance on physical safety, such as avoiding unsolicited service providers and practicing personal precautions in public spaces.

The goal of the workshop is to strengthen the relationship between senior citizens and security forces to facilitate easier reporting of crimes.
