• Casares has highlighted that the body’s workforce reaches 1,293 after an increase of 8% in this 2025 alone
The government delegate in Cantabria, Pedro Casares, welcomed the 65 new agents of the Civil Guard who joined this Thursday in Cantabria to “reinforce the extraordinary work” of the body and wished them “successes and successes” that will result in more security for the community.
Casares has received the new troops in the Government Delegation in an event in which the head of the Civil Guard in Cantabria, Julio Postigo, Lieutenant Colonel Pilar Villasante and other commanders of the body have also participated.
The government delegate has detailed that these 65 new agents will be divided among 18 posts and specialized units of the Civil Guard and, with them, the staff of the body reaches in the region “the largest number of agents in its history”, with 1,293 troops.
“In this year, there has been an 8% increase in the number of agents, with the incorporation of 93, which gives idea of the commitment that the Government of Spain has to reinforce the staff of the Civil Guard, because that is to reinforce our security,” he added.
Casares pointed out that more than 20% of the 65 new troops are women and 53% of the total will be divided between five posts in some of the main municipalities of Cantabria.
Thus, 13 of the 65 are assigned to the post of Castro Urdiales, seven in the Camargo, five in Laredo, another five in Reinosa and another five in San Vicente de la Barquera.
In addition, four agents will go to Potes, three to Cabezón de la Sal and three others to Noja, while the rest will be in positions such as Astillero (1), Beranga (2), Galizano (1), Liendo (1), Pesués (1), Polanco (1), Polientes (1), Suances (2) and Valdecilla (1). Another nine will access specialized units of the body such as Traffic, Borders or Citizen Security.
“These agents are also incorporated into one of the safest regions of Spain and, therefore, one of the safest regions in the world,” said the government delegate.
In addition, Casares has pointed out the commitment of the Government of Spain not only to reinforce the staff of the Civil Guard but also to “improve working conditions and investments” in the endowments and facilities of the body.
In this regard, it has valued the works of reform of the Reinosa or Cabezón de la Sal barracks and the renovation of the Emergency Coordination Center of the Civil Guard, located at the headquarters of the Command in Santander, which has advanced that it will be inaugurated “soon” and will be “the most modern coordination center in all of Spain”.
