In recent months we are seeing several cases of insecurity in our municipality, such as continuous thefts in homes, banks, acts of vandalism and public disorder, sexual assault, robbery in the agricultural and livestock sector.
All this is due to the ineffectiveness of the government team in terms of citizen security and the lack of prevention for the continued perpetration of these crimes.
In these last years in which the Popular Party has governed at local, regional and national level, the necessary measures have not been taken to alleviate the events with which we find ourselves today.
In order to deal with this issue deeply and as a possible final solution, we must act in three areas:
1. Civil Guard.
Request the Government Delegation and the Interior Ministry that once and for all the Lorca Civil Guard Barracks, become a Main Post, so that the number of troops will be greater than the current (almost double ).
In this way there will not be a single patrol for the 39 districts of Lorca, as it happens at present, since we all know that our municipality is the second largest in Spain in extension, but that there could be a patrol constantly in the districts of the North , another in the districts of the Center and another in the districts of the South, 24 hours a day.
Currently and with the means that are counted, it is impossible to prevent crimes and further investigation to clarify the facts.
2. National police.
The current Commissioner of Lorca, does not have the necessary staff, this has a GOR (Response Task Force) composed of 11 agents for the performance of ordinary service in prevention, control and support to the Citizen Security Units.
This Group also serves as a reinforcement for Murcia, Águilas and Almería.
Therefore, the urgent creation of a group of UPR (Prevention and Reaction Unit) in the Police Headquarters of the Murcia region is necessary, with headquarters in the Local Commissioner of Lorca, thus responding to the real needs of the municipality.
With this new unit, control could be increased in areas such as the Barrio de San Cristóbal, Apolonia, Avda. Europa, etc.
Carrying out a stricter control of crime and the ghettos created in several of those neighborhoods.
It could also create the "patrol on foot" (the so-called police proximity) in these areas.
3. Local Police.
It has been proving year after year the cuts in staff of Local Police, currently missing more than 30 agents of the fiancees in 2007, for the elections of that year.
This increase in agents would make it possible to reinforce surveillance.
Opening the barracks, which is now closed in some districts of Lorca, the Local Police would have greater capacity to react to the constant proliferation of crime in those areas.
All this is causing that at present the friends of the other people can campaign at ease in any part of the neighborhoods and districts of Lorca.
WE ARE REGION WE ARE LORCA is aware that the three security forces of the city of Lorca have some great professionals who put their spirit of service to duty, even with a large deficiency of means.
Everything exposed so far, demonstrates the inefficiency of the government team, both in this and in other matters.
As it has been pointed out before, Lorca is being governed by the same political color as the Region, and of all it is known, that it is in these circumstances that everything should have been achieved to reduce the violence in our city.
But servility has been demonstrated to the party and not to the citizens.
It is time that they give way to new formations, prepared and with real projects.
We echo the voice of the street when we say "less photos and more work Mr. Mayor".
