Policía Nacional celebrates patron saint feast day across Spain
Spain's National Police celebrated the feast day of their patron saints, the Holy Guardian Angels, with various institutional acts and commemorations across several regions.
In Benalmádena, Mayor Juan Antonio Lara highlighted the importance of police cooperation for local security and called for increased human and material resources to manage growing populations and tourism. In Castilla-La Mancha, Government Delegate José Pablo Sabrido noted a 25% increase in personnel since 2018, totaling 1,755 officers, and emphasized the region's low crime rate. In Cantabria, authorities presented decorations to officers and citizens during ceremonies in Santander.
In Ceuta, the celebration was notably somber. Due to the ongoing migration crisis in the autonomous city, official institutional acts were suspended to prioritize operational responsibilities. Despite the lack of formal ceremonies, officials expressed solidarity with officers working in the city to maintain order.
