Local authorities in Catalonia are calling for increased support and staffing from the Mossos d'Esquadra to address regional security concerns.

In Terrassa, city officials have requested greater involvement from the Catalan regional police to manage security and social issues near railway stations, specifically the Terrassa Nord and Terrassa Est areas. The council noted that while municipal police coordinate with rail authorities, the scale of the R4 line requires more regional police resources to address issues such as homelessness and public safety.

In the Garrotxa region, leaders have formally requested that the Department of the Interior fulfill commitments to increase personnel. Officials reported that only 14 of the 20 promised additional agents have arrived, and they are seeking coverage for recent retirements to prevent the region from operating with insufficient night patrols to handle robberies and public incivility.
