This is just another Spanish example of the tail wagging the dog.The officers who work shifts on the streets are the most important part of the service. They should be the very last to suffer from shortages of manpower, cash or equipment to do their vital job.The whole sector of law enforcement is desperately outdated, and it lacks the modern techniques and training that are necessary and prevalent in other countries.
What a ridiculous situation considering the new rules that have just been enacted. The police apart from having several different departments is also fragmented by area, what . A friend of mine tried reporting a noisy and overcrowded bar at 4 a.m. and again at 5 a.m only to be told there is no cars available to go. Scandalous.
