The Minister of the Interior, Vicente Romero, stressed that the troops of the new category of Order and Security Police will be used exclusively for vehicular patrols and on foot in the streets, in order to strengthen citizen security.
Within the framework of the consolidation of the process of modernization of the police institution, the head of the Ministry of the Interior (Mininter) said that the initiative seeks to improve security services throughout the country, especially with the increase of the presence of police forces in the streets and thus increase the confidence of citizens in the authorities.
