Spanish local police forces are increasingly adopting advanced technological tools to improve operational efficiency and public safety.

In Santander, the City Council approved a tender for an integrated technological platform valued at approximately 399,530 euros. This system aims to modernize the Local Police by integrating the 092 emergency switchboard with a management platform, potentially allowing citizens to share live video and real-time locations during incident reporting to reduce response times.

Other municipalities are also implementing specialized upgrades. In Barbastro, police have integrated into the Aragon Emergency Network using TETRA technology, which provides encrypted communications and GPS geolocation. In Salamanca, authorities are utilizing drones and educational speed radars to monitor traffic safety, heritage protection, and illegal waste.
