Law enforcement agencies in El Ejido have intensified operations to combat illegal activities. The National Police are focusing on drug trafficking, fraudulent residency registrations, and the protection of labor rights within the local agricultural sector. This effort involves coordination between the National Police, Civil Guard, and Local Police.

Additionally, local police have targeted unauthorized transport services, reporting seven drivers for operating illegal taxis near high-traffic areas such as the local bus station and Poniente University Hospital.
