Feeling of public insecurity
This problem, together with other incidents such as thefts or robberies, has generated a certain feeling of insecurity in some residents of the town.
Measures taken by local government
The batlle has expressed the intention to create a zero comfort zone for the mafias that are dedicated to occupying real estate. The Local Police have received orders to thwart any new case of occupation and a new official has been added to reinforce the Security Directorate.
Citizen collaboration
The mayor has highlighted the importance of citizen collaboration in the prevention of illegal occupations, since it is the neighbors who are usually the first to warn about these events.
Future plans
The government team is working on the drafting of a project for a new local police station, as well as other initiatives to improve the sense of public safety.
