The subdelegate of the Government in Cáceres, José Antonio García, has co-chaired today together with the mayor of Malpartida de Plasencia, Raúl Barrado, the Local Security Board where one of the main topics discussed has been the incorporation of the local police in the Comprehensive Monitoring System in cases of Gender Violence (VioGén).
A system that allows the Local Police to directly attend to the protection of victims of gender violence and to have up-to-date information, such as protection orders that are in force and protection measures that affect them.
Likewise, the Violence against Women Unit of the Subdelegation of the Government of Cáceres is committed to the training of local police officers for the protection and follow-up of these victims.
In this regard, the deputy delegate of the Government in Cáceres has congratulated the mayor of the locality for his impetus for the Local Police to be part of the VioGén System in collaboration with the Civil Guard and has encouraged the other municipalities to join this system because “the municipalities are the administrations closest to the citizens and with this competence they acquire can better protect and help women victims of gender violence” he said.
Another of the points dealt with in the meeting has been the organization and coordination of the Local Police together with the agents of the Civil Guard for all the celebrations that the municipality has throughout the year, such as the Carnivals, the Hunter's Fair, the Patron Saint Festivities, among others.
In addition, the subdelegate of the Government in Cáceres and the mayor of Malpartida de Plasencia, in the Local Security Board, agents of the civil guard and the traffic subsector, local police, civil protection technician of the Junta de Extremadura, Government team, and the head of the Violence Unit on Women of the Government Subdelegation have participated.
