and stated that the Civil Guard Command is in communication, through the command post of Totana and the local police commanders, to address these events from a preventive point of view.
Likewise, he indicated that, at present, all the vacancies of the staff of the Guardia Civil de Totana are covered and there are more Local Police officers on the street than ever, given that in most services there are six agents.
