The Local Police Department has acquired a new mobile police office that will enable officers to draft reports, take statements and complete numerous administrative procedures directly at the scene, without having to return to police headquarters.

The councillor for Local Police, Juan Carlos Cuevas Dawson (Vox), noted at the presentation on Thursday 16th that “we are talking about a tool that will allow practically all necessary procedures to be carried out without leaving the scene”, an improvement which, the councillor assured, will reduce travel, shorten processing times and keep officers deployed where they are needed.

 

In practice, the new unit functions as a fully equipped mobile office. Inside, it features a workspace with a desk, workstations for police officers and individuals giving statements, a laptop, a printer, specialised lighting, an independent power supply and the necessary equipment to complete procedures on the spot.

“The gain in operational efficiency is immense, because officers will be able to assist members of the public, take statements, look up information, draw up documentation and print off reports directly from the scene”, explained Cuevas, who emphasised that this capability will enable a faster and more effective response.

The vehicle can be used at road traffic accidents, police checkpoints, preventative operations, large-scale events, emergencies and incidents requiring a prolonged presence. Centralising management from the vehicle will prevent officers from having to leave the scene to carry out paperwork.

 

For Cuevas, strengthening material resources has a direct impact on safety and the quality of service. “If we are to expect our officers to respond effectively, we also have a duty to equip them with the best tools”, stated the councillor, who added that “every resource we introduce allows them to spend more time on the streets, protecting and serving our residents”.

Alongside the space set aside for drafting reports and assisting members of the public, the unit includes an organized cargo area designed to transport the necessary police equipment and allow rapid access during operations.

 

The new vehicle is also equipped with digital communication and GPS tracking systems, interior and exterior recording cameras capable of transmitting real-time footage, emergency light and siren systems, an information display board, and equipment for cordoning off areas, traffic management, extrication, firefighting and initial emergency response.

“A well-trained local police force also needs modern tools adapted to the situations they face every day”, concluded Cuevas, emphasising that the new vehicle “will improve working conditions”.

With this new unit, the Local Police Department continues to strengthen and modernise its resources, a line of work which, as noted in a press release, has included the introduction of new motorcycles, the reactivation of the Cycling Unit and the gradual upgrading of the equipment used by officers serving the municipality.
